(Don´t) Sing With Me (Or Cut My Hair)



Maybe you´ve noticed the chandeliers beside Howard Chambers on Howard Street in Perth - boy. Have you seen them "at night"?
I did not, but I reckon it must be beautiful.



Next was Barrack Street and I just stood there and thought, "not true!!"
Do you ... well, maybe you know I´m a The Simpsons-fan and there is one episode where Marge tries to make up to Bart.
She wants to sing with him in a duet, but the song was taken by principal Skinner and his Mum and she saw herself and Bart as "old people" in matching, stupid clothes with bells on them and screamed "noooooo!", giving Bart a fire-extinguisher to make "bad fun" with it instead.

The song?



The scene?



I sure don´t want to get a haircut there!!
I´d laugh my head off, literally!
But I´m a bit disappointed about myself for not having walked in and ask if there is a connection.
And they probably just saw a woman stopping dead in her tracks, looking, shaking her head, laughing, taking a picture and moving on.
Or probably (more likely) not - hope they had enough customers and I bet they do a great job, too.

But, really... that name.
No Simpsons-fan will pop in! ;-)

I leave you (for now) with another beautiful reflection:



Just imagine I had a digital camera with so much space in 1999, when we travelled the Outback.
I´d still sit and "spam" this place with very, very beautiful, awesome pics of that beautiful place!

Yes, this was still March 1st this year and much more is to come (as I have such a cam now ;-)...)!

Not being a Simpsons fan I would not have associated them with the name. I would have thought of a piano - which of course has nothing to do with hair. Maybe only people with white hair and black hair are welcome.

The concept remains a mystery - I should´ve asked!!! :-)

Those chandeliers in Howard St are pretty, but can't remember going there at night. Maybe I should pop by one night to check them, as I'm sure they would look pretty.
As for Ebony & Ivory the first thought that came to mind was actually Stevie Wonder & Paul McCartney's song of the same name.

Iris Flavia said...

Oh, yes, please take some pics if you go!
Yes, that song was the basis. I know you´re not a fan of The Simpsons ;-)

...Iris, Ebony and Ivory is a great sign to link, come on over!

Iris Flavia said...

Oh! You are right! (It´s somehow "just" my memories of Perth) - I´m on my way, Tom!

Oh my gosh you're just like Aimee, you see Simpson situations everywhere 😁 😁 Love the reflections Iris ✨

Iris Flavia said...

Grace, now this Simpson-one was just too obvious :-)
Greetings to Aimee!

The Simpsons reference was great! And yes, don't you wish you had different cameras "back then" when traveling? I sure do!

Iris Flavia said...

Well, it jumped into my eyes (not my hair ;-)...).
Oh, yes, soooo much I only have in my memory but not on real pictures! I dread the moment they will fade...

I must have never seen that episode.

I like the chandeliers.

Iris Flavia said...

The episode was called Marge's Son Poisoning.

Yes, wish we had chandeliers like that!
