Show Time

A lot of words were blogged last week. I think it's time for a photographic interlude. These pics are from a little while ago, taken at the Perth Royal Show.

The Show happens once a year. At this precious time all manner of creepy clowns, farm animals, escape artists, inventors and fast food sellers descend upon the Perth fairgrounds and take up residence for an entire week. I hadn't been for ages, but this year couldn't resist the opportunity to revisit its glory. So many bright shiny colours.

[My sister took some of these pics. She was "looking out for grotesque things," with the criteria being "stuff Gwyneth would like." Her pics are clearly superior to mine. I shall mark them with an asterisk*.]

I wish I'd seen this big blue monster close up, but it was too crowded here. I don't like to be bumped.

Patriotic Aussie fun times.

*

But behind the scenes: Muppet rights were clearly being abused.

*

*

*

*

Lots of offensive bumper stickers to choose from. All worthy of The Worst of Perth.


The hypnotist in action: "You are ALL Miss World."


Even ShamWow was there.

*

Also lots of human/animal/object bodies on display.

Including a chocolate banana/man:

And the car/face ride.




Seriously creepy...


Let the fluffy animals cleanse your mind.

*

Aw.

Now delicious cake.

*

The Daleks were clearly irresistible...


But this one was the best.

*

Did you know Justin Bieber pioneered Australia?





Alien pods and escape vehicle.






One last thing, which my sister spotted for me.

*

"Oh, that meat looks so juicy and.. HEAD HEAD THERE IS A MAN HEAD IN THE MEAT!!"

*

Must.Look.Away.

Food for thought, eh?

Well, that's about it. I like the show.
