I’m glad I’m not in a sitcom.
I’m glad I’m not in a Brian Rix theatrical farce.
I’m even gladder that I’m not Hattie Jacques in a Carry On film, or one of the busty ladies from Benny Hill.
Why am I glad?
Because when my son and his friends were playing dress up today with all our ex-Halloween costumes and decided it would be a laugh to come down dressed in Meeester’s hand crafted* (from a pair of Primark pyjamas and some fake fur) “Man from the Joy of Sex Book" body-suit, complete with sewn on chest wig, penis and pubic hair….well if I had been in any of those pieces of 70s entertainment, the vicar surely would have called just at that moment.
Oooer, missus!
* yes, I have made an anatomically correct penis from felt and stuffing. I'm not proud of it.
Actually, I am proud, it was bloody brilliant.
*************************
Stop Press: Meeester says a photo of him in the suit is, indeed, required..so here it is:

I'd be proud too, missy!
Was the penis...functional?
You HAVE to post a picture of it, that's genius.
At one point I was sitting, needle and thread in hand, fashioning the foreskin and was completely involved in it...and then I thought to myself, I can't believe I'm doing this. Is this how God felt???
Gorilla: It may not have been able to make babies but it was very realistic looking and may have fooled certain slightly myopic people.
Jaggy: Mmm, tempting. Will have a think about it. Meeester has been wanting to do it for ages, but we thought it too difficult. But in the end Primark provided all the material we needed. Add a seventies wig, and fake beard and bing! Alex Comfort lives!
Jaggy: Meeester agrees with you...there is now a pic up.
That is hilarious! I remember sneaking peeks at my friend's parent's copy of The Joy of Sex back in the late 70's. I think we were around 11 years at the time. To think we were titillated by that! Now I'd just laugh my ass off!
T and A: As you can see we had to BUY a copy on the internet for the occasion. Still have it if you want a lend!
That's excellent, well done.
Bloody fantastic! Now, what I want to know is did Meester model any particular positions at his Halloween party or would that have been a bridge too far?

Jaggy: You request: We deliver.
Ms M: Yes of course. My brother was dressed as Jordan at that party...so really you can imagine. But even if Meeester was Ok with me posting the pics of that particular liaison, I feel it would not be in the "family friendly" spirit of the Misssives. And really, you might want to scratch your retinas out after seeing them, so I'm doing you a favour by not obliging.
I learned a lot from that book during my Big Awakening in my late teens. And I was always amused by the fact that I was deemed to look a lot like the man in the illustrations!
I was so disappointed when a more recent edition came out with Mr Joy all clean-shaven :)
Absolute genius!
Best costume I've seen since The German dressed up as an old lady, replete with droopy bosoms made out of tennis balls in the bottom of socks and a huge and unruly lady garden.
"Is this how god felt?" What else could come into your head? You have set new standards in handicrafts.
Ro: I just like the whole idea that the author and his wife put so much into the book that they posed for all those pics. That's dedication.
Ladyshambles: So glad to know that we're not the only ones who take a esoteric look at fancy dress.
Ms R: I was put off intermittently by my husband demanding it be made bigger, every five minutes...
Two words: Robbie. Coltrane.
ooh that meester has got me going. I do so love a full beard especially with bits of chicken noodle soup in it. And that chest hair, wow, I could lose my mind rubbing it and creating static electricity. You are lucky he lives in Scotland or I would be stalking your hairy lad!
Farty: Oooh I'm, all about Harry Potter just now- reading them all back to back. (Yes, I know I'm the last person in the world to read them)
Emma K: You're not the only one! I lost count of the amount of women I caught handling his fake penis at that Halloween party!
I will pass on your compliments!
No-one ever believes me, but I swear this is true. When the aforesaid author died, one of the UK broadsheet newspapers had the headline -
"Dr Alex Comfort, author of the Joy of Sex, has died after a series of strokes"...
KSJK: Comment of the Week contender, for sure....
AMAZING! I''m so impressed. You could make a business out of that you know..
Boy; You think there might be a market for naked suits? You want one?
Oh, this is marvelous. You should sell this costume on ebay. You could make a fortune!
Ashley: Hello and welcome. Gosh I never even thought of that. But it would be a wrench to say goodbye to it!
There is something about fake penises. We made a very enormous one for a bad taste party. I wore it with a very ugly womens swimming costume. Every just had to have a good feel.
I wore it again at a company function and the wild night of drinking afterwards. Again, everyone just had to have a feel.
Weird.
Colin: Hello and welcome. That HAS to be worth a photo!
Thta's disgusting...buying pyjamas from Primark, you should be ashamed of yourselves.
Nice blog~
