Dangling legs and stomachs

Another puzzling email subject line sent my mind wandering the other day: "jambes et ventres qui pendent" (literally, legs and stomachs that dangle).

Mm, what an exciting image... I tried to erase it from my mind, but somehow it lingered long enough to find an embodiment in Dali's melting watches in The Persistence of Memory.

Thank God, Doisneau's Two Brothers came next and the dangling legs took on a playful dimension.

The evocative power of words is everywhere, even in spam. Diets and rejuvenation programs, be gone!
