"Peckish" part I



Now, I bet you didn't know that it is every gingerbread man's dearest ambition to become a model in a Christmas catalogue...or even to strut their stuff in a bakery window.

Well, that's Fred's dream. He dreams of posing amongst the baubles and tinsel on a handsome fir tree or between the candles on a festive mantelpiece.

Being a kind gingerbread man owner, I offered to take some shots for his portfolio.



Here you can see "relaxed casual chic"...




..."the sultry look"...


..."the flirty look"...


...work it, Fred ...


...what the...?


Where did that pigeon go?


...


...LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU, FRED!...

Will Fred fall prey to a peckish Mr.Pigeon? Will somebody save him in time? Find out next time on...THE PIGEON LOFT!

Oh no!! Does Porky Pigeon strike again!! Please don't let Fred get eaten, please let Mr. P have a nice surprise for Fred. I couldn't bear to see him eaten!!!
Holding my breath in suspense 'till the next installment.

Oh No I can't bear to watch! But surely Mr Pigeon wouldn't do anything nasty - he seems such a lovely chap!

Locket Pocket said...

Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo! Mr Pigeon is far too nice to be mean to Fred surely? I defended Monkee Maker's pigeon Greg's honour in the face of all accusations of monkey cruelty so please don't let this pigeon be a bad 'un!

Oh Dear! Poor Fred. I don't think I'm so worried that Mr P might be trying to eat Fred... I'm more disturbed in the manner that he's going to attempt to do it.... that's a dangerous cork screw in the hands of a naughty Mr P! Shall be waiting in anticipation....

Fred really knows how to work that camera! I do hope Mr P doesn't do anything dastardly!

Goodness, a corkscrew wound could be quite nasty - was that the closest weapon to hand? Hmm, wonder why that was? Have you and Mr Pigeon been on the sauce Charlie? Perhaps it's a hideous Heidelberg plot and you're in on it!

Poor Mr Gingerbread Man can always run away (perhaps to audition for Germany's Next Top Model??) I seem to remember that most story book gingerbread men come to a sticky end though. I'd advise him to avoid foxholes as well as pigeony places.

Mind your back, Fred! I think Mr P is about to make some air holes, and I'm not too sure they will be in his box...

close the lid on that darn pigeon quick!!
now write my address on the outside of the box and courier him to me ASAP.
he will be dealt with......

FRED!!!!!!!! QUICK!!!!!! RUN!!!!!!!!!!

Monkee Maker said...

Ha ha ... loving that pigeon in the pencil cup shot .... and the pigeon with a corkscrew one ... and the peeking out of the box one ... oh, and ... all of them really!

How oh how can one little pigeon be so expressive??

And Fred? Well, I can see him gracing the pages of next years Boden catalogue, with one of those little meme's about his best party trick, or favourite breakfast cereal.

Brilliant!

:)

ps. Greg says "coo-ey"

I hope Mr Pidgeon will be playing nicely. However, I can see that Fred has a real talent for modeling, a promising career!

Will Fred be very upset to know that Mr. Pigeon totally stole the photo shoot?

Di said...

Oh no - Fred is in danger!! Perhaps I need to send a giant cookie to protect him! I hope that Mr Pigeon behaves himself!!

Fred really is a good looking gingerbread man!!

rachelmp said...

Mr P is such a poser... I don't believe it for a minute. Anything for attention!

Hells said...

Can't post due to laughing so much!!
The next big supermodel I think!!

I hope Part 2 comes soon... I won't sleep a wink for fretting about Fred, otherwise :o(

Incidentally, he's really working it in those portfolio shots, isn't he? He's clearly a natural at the modelling lark :o)

Ha! Love the shot of Mr P popping out of his package - but is he standing on a box in there?

Manoute said...

;0)))))
Leon can't believe Mr. P is nasty!
He wanted to come to see both of you in Heidelberg when we were in Erlangen, but I was very busy with work.
We can't wait for part 2!!!!
