Photo of the day: THE BAD SIDE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING

BIKINI MAN

THE BAD SIDE EFFECTS OF GLOBAL WARMING: . . . is this.
It was 65 degrees (15 Celsius) yesterday in New York City! And what does that result in – one of the older ‘regulars’ in Times Square, still wearing winter mittens and  a pair of Uggs. Of course the Christmas velvet reindeer antlers with a Statue of Liberty crown to hold them in place. The pink wig matches his pink bike and matching pink streamers. Since it was so warm yesterday that rest of his outfit was shed to reveal tiny polka dot bikini.
But . . . don’t you just hate it – when you realize, after you’ve left the house, that your bikini top doesn’t match your bikini bottom? I hate when that happens!
* We have several ‘regulars’ – the naked cowboy, the naked cowgirl, the naked Indian and the naked candy man.
