A banner day for glove bloggers, for sure. Imagine what it would have been like to come across some guy taking a picture of a red glove in the gutter with his phone and grinning like a fool.
I've been wondering that myself. ;) Well, I've been having trouble just sticking with gloves this winter and folks leave a variety of other stuff behind so I should just rename it 'left behind' or something and officially branch out. If I include GPS coordinates people could go and retrieve their lost stuff!
and: yes, it does takes a certain je-ne-sais-quoi to be able to face people's stares as you make a fool of yourself nno the street. god knows i'm aware of that.
Sadly, after all the work (the camera was acting up and I had to make several attempts at it) and being stared at (a look of shock and, perhaps, disgust like you've never seen) the pic turned out almost completely black.
So, all I have is the memory and the story, which is too bad cuz it was a bitchin' thong and artfully arranged on the concrete.

i'll say! red against the grey asphalt, totally nice colour combo.

You're aware of what it's like?? Hey, taking pictures of junk on the street is my gig!
The weirdest look I've gotten (so far) was when I was trying to take a shot of a lacy thong on the sidewalk near Yonge and Dundas...

i'm aware of the feeling of being stared at. doesn't actually take much to get that.

... could have been a contender for a huge blowup to hang at the head of your bed.
but take heart. there all lots of other thongs in the sea...

It definitely could have gotten conversation going (or stopped it if it was going).
There may be lots of thongs out there but I personally see surprisingly few paddling around in my small part of the ocean.
