My Film Noir moment, in the style of Humphrey Bogart. (Apologies to Raymond Chandler.)

“He was tall as a post, and twice as thick. Legs like a stork, with a brain to match. If good looks were a crime he would’ve walked free. His suit fit him the way bad news fits a Monday morning. He smiled once. Somewhere, a child started crying.”

I’m not overly keen on having my photo taken, but I saw the second image online and inspiration overcame me. That image is, I believe, the work of one Amanda Elwell. Well, I’m off to climb a hill of beans. But we’ll always have parrots. x

I find your chiaroscuro charming , I just woke from a Big Sleep. Let my agent know if you need a Fat Femmetale.

This has all the mystery of a classic noir… and just enough mischief in the caption to keep it interesting.
