So many flavors...
We have spicy Carl :)
NOT to be confused with "Hot Carl". That is a different thing entirely LOL
Spicy Carl is not exactly sure what he is doing with his mouth
My photographer instructed me to lift my chin up more and open my mouth slightly. This modeling stuff is harder than it looks!
Wait haven't we already seen your banana once this week?
Well yes, it is true, but there is an old saying that two bananas in the hand is better than one in the... wait that isn't quite how it goes. But you get the point, right? Or the tip as it were ;)
Believe it or not, there was even some popular clamor for more banana pics.
@d-vine & @stellabelle clearly are connoisseurs
But what's all this about a fundraiser then?!?
Step right up, ladles and jelly beans...
to the "Get @llfarms to SteemFest" fundraiser sideshow tent! See the bearded man perform feats of modeling! Can't handle the beef? Get out the kitchen!
100% of ALL author post rewards from this post (I will match the SP portion with liquid Steem) will be donated to @llfarms toward Justine's trip to SteemFest! This includes @comedyopenmic prize money (if any).
@llfarms is awesome and totally deserves your support in her quest to attend SteemFest entirely funded by Steem! Watch her video and you will see why :)
I pointed my finger. That is how you can tell I am a classy bitch.
Spiffy GIFy Shimmy
Wurk it :) If you look carefully you can see the incredibly rare Carl attempt at a duck face during the course of this GIF masterpiece
Flex!
I hear angels calling...
Oh what you didn't think I was going to go fully monty?
Seriously, how do models keep from cracking up the ENTIRE TIME?!?
Cameo by Yeti the Dog
Yeti I am not 100% sure that is appropriate. But then I remembered what the rest of this post was like and I am going to let the tongue slide this time LOL
Butt seriously...
I know this has been a firmly tongue-in-cheeks post up to this point, but I do hope the underlying body positive message comes through. There is not a single part of my body that could possibly be described as skinny. According to the extremely widely used BMI (Body Mass Index), at 5'7" and 215 pounds I am squarely in the "obese" category. I am also an active and physically fit 38 year old man and I am not at all ashamed of how my body looks. I love my body. It hauls me up mountains and climbs me up trees and dives me to the bottom of the swimming hole. It carries my two sons when they are tired. It is a good body. And thorough*
Bodies come in all different shapes and sizes...
Love your body, people!
It is the only one you have.
Much love - Carl
I nominate...
@artisticscreech because I bet he could write an amazing Comedy Open Mic entry; and I nominate @hiddenblade because she is a badass
Also mad props to my beautiful photographer and wife @dillemma for not only putting up with my shenanigans, but actually encouraging and enabling them <3
*Bonus points if you can tell me what the heck that non sequitur of a reference is from LOL
