Michael Palaeologus Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 As Spring commences and Summer comes into view, the weather improves and the sun shines through the leaves creating dappled patterns on the lawns and hearts of East Dulwich.Minds turn to al fresco parties and barbecues. I have attended many of these events and have often felt that there is something lacking. A cultural void in what is otherwise a lovely afternoon of grilled bangers, cold Pinot in plastic cups and gently broiling human skin. What is needed is one significant element that will transport your otherwise mundane suburban party to ancient Greece or Rome. Lift your guests from Croxted Road to the Coloseum, from Crystal Palace Road to the Parthenon:Rent yourself -- DAVID CARNELLI, HUMAN CLASSICAL STATUEMany people have commented on David Carnelli's similarity to the young Apollo and so building on this amazing likeness David has kindly decided to offer his services to the community as a live decorative fixture. His services can be delivered in a number of ways:1 - The static statue. David can stay still for up to 20 minutes at a time, moving between classical poses, gazing into the distance, silent yet commanding2 - The reciting statue. David can recite from classical literature, in your actual Greek or Latin if required, entertaing your guests with the enormity of his declamation3 - The nude statue. For those with specialist tastes. Please note that David is fully depilated; if you require the more natural look, 6 weeks notice is required4 - The human fountain. Please supply ample quantities of Evian mineral water to keep him topped up.5. - The athlete. David can perform like an ancient Greek Olympian. Its a quite a sight.Many Forumites will vouch for David's flexibility and imagimation, if you have any particular requests please do not hesitate to contact:Palaeologus PromotionsStall 14North Cross Road Agora Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5826-david-carnelli-human-classical-statue/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah J. Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Oh dear. "Pandora's Box", and "can of worms", are terms that come to mind! How hilarious! I like the breakdancing suggestion. What about "popping"? That seems to be the latest dance craze...

Moos Posted April 1, 2009 Share Posted April 1, 2009 Heavens, Sarah, you are quite right. I am utterly busted as an old git and wholly out of date with what the young folk enjoy as their innocent pastimes.
