Fifty Shades of Grey, Part 2

18 Sep

We were at the bookstore the other day when I discovered there’s another writer besides Nora Roberts, Jennifer Probst. I was contemplating getting her books (which I did) when M2 came up to me and gave me that knowing look and smirk for being in that book section. Children nowadays, hrmph.

Casually she told me, “Did you know ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’ is now a movie?”

“Yes, I know and don’t you dare go watch the trailer! And no, I will not buy the book to read.”

What’s the obsession with that book??? Eeesh.

Fifty Shades of Grey

BottleArtIt was a good dinner with friends after a golf game. As usual, a bottle of whiskey was brought along to be polished off with the meal. This time, it wasn’t the usual single malt but blended whiskey instead, Old Parr.

The bottle was very pretty with stained glass features and we talked about creating art on the bottle. I decided to take the bottle home and put my creativity to some good use.

The next evening, creativity kicked in and soon I had a sketch and a plan. I showed the girls and asked them what colors should I use?

Both chorused, “Fifty shades of grey!”

Goodness! Even children know about this book. No, I did not buy nor thought about buying the book to read. Back to my art, I felt fifty shades of grey was too much and decided on it being bright and colorful.

Stay tuned for the final result of my efforts, that is, if I can continue with this sudden interest instead of constantly working on Farm Heroes, Candy Crush and Zookeeper Battle.
