ARGENTINA. Buenos Aires Through Harold’s Lens:
Never know!
Who cares!
In the middle of the San Telmo neighborhood, sitting in the middle of the street, dressed to the hilt, smothered in white powder, he remained stone motionless. A full tin cup of pesos by his side.
Many tried to get him to move, wiggle or blink.
I wondered how he emptied the tin cup.
Cool – a mime! I remember seeing one in San Francisco once, all in silver, like the Tin Man from the Wizard of Oz. Even his skin was silver. Imagine washing THAT off at night.
Sarah, not an easy job I assume. Must be some kind of paint that washes off easily and allows his skin to breath.
Right. Hmmmm, I thought that part about the Bond girl was an urban legend…guess I’ll have to look it up in snopes.com or The Straight Dope column. They usually separate fact from recurring internet fiction pretty well!
You could be right. I’ll check it out too. If it’s wrong, I’ll delete my sentence on Bond. I don’t need to be spreading the wrong information.
Sarah, you were right. I stand corrected. Shirley Eaton. the actress who played the gold covered secretary in James Bond’s Goldfinger, did not die or even become ill as a result of her Goldfinger experience – she made a few more films before retiring from acting to spend time with her family.
I see such individuals in Sydney when we visit… (Australia)
They do enchant. I too find it very interesting how they can remain so still, and for so long…!
Carolyn…I guess if I waited around all day I would find out how it all operates. $, food, bathroom, etc.
I do love it when they surprise some unsuspecting person with a sudden ‘movement’; meant to surprise of course…!
Yes, bodily functions would have to interrupt the performance eventually…
