The play about finding adventure, romance and love while defending American values abroad.

And, it all looks waaay too professional. Don't ask me how I noticed these details... The mind reels when wondering how this picture came about.... and why.

I'm speechless. That's a first. But there is something fascinating about this, no? And boy on the right looks like he's fresh from a rave with those 'runaway bride crazy eyes' and lolipop.

One of these boys had an attractive older sister who was "practicing" her make-up skills on her brother, and his friends. I fell victim to this on several occasions...ok twice...when I was a wee lad. The older sister understands that she is immortalizing their immasculinasation for all time, and the poor 10 year old boys are clueless, and are just going along with the ride so they can look down the girls shirt as she bends over to apply the makeup. :) That's what I think is going on...
