For those dual-beard naysayers…

A few of you doubted that I actually left the house with my ‘dual-beard’ setup.

To those of little faith, I give you: Sebastian goes to the post office.

Not sure why all of the whites have been replaced with pinks — I guess my grandmother’s camera is going through its dying throes.

Afterward, I walked into the post office and stepped up to the little booth with my head down. ‘I need to send something to a friend of mine’ I said rather noncommittally. Then I raised my head and fixed a grim stare at her, grinning with just the evil side of my face. I have to say, she coped rather well! She quite visibly recoiled, a look of concerned disgust on her face, but recovered quickly. There was a quick intake of breath, and she shocked me with what she said next: ”Sure, just put your package on the scales… turn around, and leave this place of sanctity, you vile beast!’

And so I did.

I bet they have a picture of me under their desk now — a grainy, black and white security camera one.  Right next to the panic button.

    hahaha
    1) it looks like you’re naked under your coat
    2) you actually look quite cute
    3) I bet you made her day. Something to laugh about over tea and cakes

  2. pinkjellybaby:

    um and what’s with the picture of the Golden Retriever on the wall?

  3. pinkjellybaby:

    oh, and the cat.

    Clearly photoshopped here…have you been airbrusing yourself Mr Seb?

  4. pinkjellybaby:

    and you still look like someone and I can’t work out who.

    I told you i’d go off on a chatter. You have only youself to blame!

  5. sebastian:

    No, I have no idea why they are there on the wall… and I didn’t notice them until you mentioned it!

    The photo was actually taken from her car, as she refused to be seen in public with me… Sad but true :(

  6. pinkjellybaby:

    Has your Grandmother been experienceing hallucinations recently? It’s the only explaination…

  7. pinkjellybaby:

    p.s. sorry for poor spelling today. Well, in general but you know

  8. sebastian:

    Yes… some how her LSD trip infected the camera’s memory card! That explains the pinkness, and the dog… but not my rather alarming cuteness…

  9. pinkjellybaby:

    welcome to my world…

  10. pinkjellybaby:

    oh it also doesn’t explain why you went to the Post Office with just a coat on and nothing but stockings and suspenders (i’m guessing) underneath…

  11. sebastian:

    Well, I don’t leave the house often… I’m not really ‘with it’ when it comes to what today’s social norms are.

    Once upon a time stockings and suspenders were all the rage, you know.

  12. pinkjellybaby:

    They still are…. just not on men…

    I’m not really one to talk though, I once got the train/tube from Kent to North London with pretty much the same thing on…

  13. sebastian:

    There’s a difference between a booty call and going to the post office, dear.

  14. pinkjellybaby:

    I actually went to the supermarket and to my boyfriends! I wouldn’t call that a booty call…. but ok, if you insist, props to you for going to the Post Office like that.

  15. Jo:

    Methinks you are standing in front of a pet shop!

  16. sebastian:

    Ahah! See! I knew there was a rational explanation…

  17. sebastian:

    Ahah! See! I knew there was a rational reason…

  18. Ambles:

    I never doubted it for a second

  19. Jossie Posie:

    ahahahaha. Perfection. I think its quite sad that I think you look cute sporting this look. Oh what that statement says about me.

  20. sebastian:

    Well, as always when I go out, there’s a fairly equal distribution of those that swarm towards me for a closer look, and those that try to get as far away as possible.

    The dual-beard just exacerbated that.

    I don’t know how either, but generally I manage to make just about anything look cute. I blame the charisma.

  21. andhari:

    Wow, just when I thought you gonna stay home if you still keep the beard. HILARIOUS! Try going to a dance, people might be friendlier. :P

  22. Daniel Cassidy:

    I was holding my laptop at all sorts of crazy angles trying to get the screen out of the sunlight and the photo to stop looking pink.

    Until I read the next paragraph.

  23. sebastian:

    Hahahaha.

    I did the same when I first received it :(

    And then I read the next line in the email from my grandmother.

  24. floreta:

    i love your coat!!

    this is a cute look on your face..
    i’ve seen this look on some of your other pictures.

  25. floreta:

    and i thought the pinks was something you did for effect. it’s neat!

  26. sebastian:

    Thanks; the coat is part of my Gestapo get-up. I have a nice, broad-rimmed hat too, and I just turn my collar up to complete the look.

    I love pink, but not THAT much!

  27. Tara:

    LMFAO.

    THAT’S ALL I CAN SAY.

    I LAUGHED MY ASS OFF.
