I like dressing up as a Banana at fancy dress parties. A banana drinking a beer, smoking a cigarette and dancing to donna summer seems to add a certain jolly frission to the proceedings. Then you can peel me at the end of the evening...lol
Not forgetting the ride home on the metro...
Injecting dish washing liquid through my nose to see if I can cleanse my mind of those images...
Dear Maria, thanks for the gift:
Freudian Slippers
Sigmund Freud understood the value of comfortable things. The most famous example is that therapy couch of his. While all the other therapists in town were using hard wooden stools and benches, people were lining up outside Berggasse 19 to lie on Freud's comfy chaise. We've taken our cue from Freud in designing these fun and comfy Freudian Slippers. They're fuzzy and plush and look like the great master himself. As an extra feature, each slipper has our patented built-in sock tongue! Spending a relaxing Sunday morning in your Freudian Slippers is as satisfying as a breakthrough therapy session - and considerably less expensive. The Freudian Slippers are available in men's and women's sizes. They also come in an attractive gift box and make a great gift for anyone in therapy (or needing therapy)

HI, María:... My favorite costume was a nun costume.... a bit altered of course. Won't go into details... hahaha
Hi, Rinda:A few years ago I attended a Halloween party at a psych hospital. For her costume a friend took a white slip and wrote Freudian sayings all over it. Amongst them was "Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar." I don't know if he really said that.

Hi, Maria:... we agreed to exchange the most precious gifts...

HI, María:
A 1964 Julie Andrews, the REBEL NUN of the Sound of Music:
Is this, maybe, your idea of a little altered nun costume?
I don't dare to post another models that one can find in the Web.
I did suspect from the begining that the Freudian Slippers had some connection with hugs and kisses! Don't ask me why.
All the best,
Charly
Hi, Maria:
Any phrase taken aout of context gives much to think about.
This one makes me wonder where did I find the BLESSED SLIPPERS in the Changes.
H.39 蹇 jian3: DIFFICULTY AT THE FOOT
Slippers in spite of the confortable brings some difficulty to the walk.
In my country is said "más dificil que recular en chancleta" meaning HARDER THAN TO RETREAT IN SLIPPERS. The use of slippers makes a soft sound when dragging by the ground.
蹇 depicts a FOOT inside a COVER (1) filled with soft GRASS or THACH, a CLOG or also a SLIPPER. A foot inside a confortable environment (2)

KING COURTIERS JIAN-JIAN
King and courtiers go on slippers.
匪躬之故。
fei3 gong1 zhi1 gu4
DAMNED LOVERS' CAUSE
Because of the f_cking lovers.
JIAN-JIAN might be an onomatopoeia of the dragging slippers when king and courtiers use it for not disturbing the lovers' games.
Why LOVERS?
匪fei3 means bandit, evil person, damned
躬gong1 means body and self, personal, but is a compound of a character for body / pregnancy and another for bow / shooting. Shooting means in chinese the same that in english, and shooting the female body is of course TO MAKE LOVE.
THEN 匪躬 means lovers, f_cking lovers, object of almost envy.
Not that kings and ministers be so tolerant with lovers, but that lovers, in their doings, ignore another's presence, as if even kings and courtiers stepped on slippers for not disturbing them.
Even more: slippers doing JIAN-JIAN are soflty exhorting F_CK, F_CK!
At least I believe so.
All the best,
Charly

(1) also seen as a roof.
(2) ask any freudian what it means and will understand why is JIAN synonym of much difficulty and trouble.

Hi, Rosada:You don't see it in the picture of the slippers, but the red part is like a sock so when you slip your foot in, your toes are covered by this red sock and if you wiggle your toes the "tongue" is talking!!!!
They have it on amazon.com...
