Ballard Street by Jerry Van Amerongen for July 27, 2022

Mr. Dressup

thanks for the tip – i’ll be right on it

And once the singles scene found out about Reggie’s lamp dressing hobby, their need to mix with him completely disappeared.

Reggie has quite a cute friend there.

A fact the Ballard Singles Club and Stiltwalking Society is profoundly grateful.

Could use one of those CD’s of background party chatter.

She’s UL approved.

Is she wearing (a) nightshade?

He only undresses it (her) in private.

Is there a saying, “Whatever lights your lamp.”?

Hard to believe Reggie is still single…

He’s got a fair collection of women’s clothing, it seems.

And you

Light up my life

You give me hope

To carry on

You light up my days

And fill my nights

With…hmm, not song, certainly.

The first idea for the lamp in “A Christmas Story”.

Reggie’s a bit of a dim bulb.

He wanted to see the light….oy

…And a need to start closing the drapes…

The neighbors have recently noticed a lot more AC/DC emanating from Reggie’s house…

Reggie Sings the Body Electric… When he finally wakes up…

It also works if you start dressing as a lamp. :)

Reggie needs a little more help than that lamp. Yeeesh

Makes a lot of sense.. Reggie can have at her anytime he likes, with no whining about having a headache. Besides she’s better looking than what he can scrape up at the singles club.

Each to his own!!!

Things have gone missing from Edith’s clothesline next door again

Reggie’s bulb up there is a little dim . . . you know what I mean.

actually a better looker than most of the ladies on the block

She certainly lights up a room! :)

Funny but dumb!

Being on the Ballard singles scene can be a bit pricy. Reggie is thrifty, so this works for him.

Her only drawback was that she was always lit when Reggie was around.
