ALICE IN CAPTIONLAND

It's

COMPETITION TIME
again!

One of my favourite blogs is that of former long-time Disney designer and on-going, all-round renaissance guy, Kevin Kidney.

Last month, under the heading Storybook Fashions, Kevin reproduced a series of a dozen fashion photos outlandishly modelled against the fantasy backdrop of Disneyland, California. Unearthed by Tim Haack, the photos were taken for the April 9, 1961 issue of Midwest Magazine, a supplement to the Chicago Sun-Times.

One of these curious photos is the subject for this CAPTION COMPETITION...


The original caption read:

Why is a raven like a writing desk?
Who cares when you look like this!

However, going on past experience, I reckon readers of this blog can come up with one or two better offerings than that!

What is the Hatter, the woman or both of them (or even the guy in the background) thinking or saying?

FLESHING THINGS OUT

Among the latest products from Alexander McQueen there are items packaged thus...


So, what are the products in question (or, more to the point, in the boxes) and is that "anatomically detailed packaging" by "fêted fashion photographer, Alasdair McLellan" representative of what is inside (Advertising Standards Authority alert) or merely a 'serving suggestion'?

Here's some more images from the fêted Mr McLellan.
