15-AUG-2006

Honey Im Home ; - ).

Everymans secret dream to come home to the wife and shes all dressed up cooking his dinner, like the ads from the 1950's. Fantasy or reality you decide ladies. This has to be one of my fave shots ever.

Thanks to Shelley for being such Fun:-)

Bacon Sarnie Anyone:-))

Great idea. I don't think the women were as thrilled with their situation in the 50's as this
shot might indicate. Excellent job. Vote.

Big fun! Well chosen angle of shooting. And the idea of the wife cooking a great meal, happens to me today! Ah how lucky i am! V
Guest 15-Aug-2006 16:32
So happy, she's scary. Like a Stepford Wife. Well conceived and well done.
Jose Canovas 15-Aug-2006 16:20
Yea, hide any kind of venom far from her...I cant resist to visit this malicious picture, Ade!
Christina Conroy 15-Aug-2006 15:40
Excellent! And the insanely "happy" look on her face really adds that extra special touch. Be careful of what she's put in your drink tonight!
Rich Westfall 15-Aug-2006 15:06
She looks like a Stepford wife.
Bryan Murahashi 15-Aug-2006 14:39

Sharif El-Hamalawi 15-Aug-2006 08:54
This is just gorgeous! The expression, like a caricature of a "stereotype". I am sure you had a lot of fun there. Best, Sharif
Adrian Reilly 15-Aug-2006 08:27
Just tried uploading it again, still getting the red X. Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Sheila 15-Aug-2006 06:44
Just tried Laine's suggestion of viewing in medium and it works!
Very funny ideas you men have Adrian LOL! Fun shot!
Dave Beedon 15-Aug-2006 06:27
Shelley's expression says it all: "My fulfillment is in making my man happy." The attire reminds me of June Cleaver, the mother of Beaver Cleaver in the 1960s American TV series "Leave It to Beaver." She was always dressed as if about to attend a formal gathering, and of course always happy in the kitchen.
Wei O'Connell 15-Aug-2006 03:42
Life is beautiful. Very well done, Ade! Voted.
Mike Stobbs 15-Aug-2006 03:30

Great image though, I have to give you a big vote! Way to go Ade!
Jen Bixler 15-Aug-2006 01:23
So agree with Deborah. Stepford Wives reincarnated!
JD 15-Aug-2006 01:16
I would like to say that it is every day like this for me, but that would be such a lie! Very well done, Ade! Voted.
laine82 15-Aug-2006 01:08
Red x...just change to medium & you will get it...Is that a glass ceiling women are still trying to break through that I see there !! :>O
AL 15-Aug-2006 01:07
Forget about the red x, Ade. Got a very clear look from the thumbnail. She's such a lovely lady. Thanks for the "fantasy". My poor hubby! His dream will never come true :-( LOL...
Mindy McNaugher 15-Aug-2006 00:47

Hey, my wife still does this sometimes for me. I thought that was the norm (of course, we don't have kids yet).
