Gentlemen Prefer Poodles

It's State Fair time again, (okay, the fair closed last weekend) and Poodle enjoyed his fair outing for the second year in a row. Though we missed out on the fried Coke, (I've heard it described as "syrupy doughnuts in a cup ") and the animatronic Marlon Perkins ( "let's observe elsewhere while Jim wrestles this giant anaconda!") display was gone already, there were plenty of corny dogs and chocolate covered turtle cheesecake on a stick for everyone. Personally, I like the key lime version better. Poodle has no comment. He never does. The unofficial theme of this year's fair (there's always an unofficial theme, which is always way better than the real theme. Last year it was Elvis.) was Marilyn Monroe, which consisted of a Marilyn themed art display complete with Andy Warhol prints and real movie-worn dresses. The dresses were much larger than I thought they'd be. They were....( gasp) normal sized. That's encouraging. They also had a Marilyn impersonator played by a woman who is also known for playing a Vampira -like character called Jami Deadly on cable access TV. I've never seen her TV show, but she seemed to have the Marilyn thing down pat. I was going to ask her if she's like to pose with Poodle, but it seemed a little awkward. All that aside, the real story was in the Creative Arts building where the 800 Pound Butter Marilyn resided. This was a major attraction, apparently, since there was a non stop parade of people coming through gawking at it and making the same comment over and over. "That's a lot of butter!" It was bit difficult to get photos , but Poodle pushed through.
That Poodle.... He knows everyone.
