Del Monte Fun at the Tokyo Skytree Tower
 Bimbling around the mall below the
Tokyo Skytree Tower, we came upon a Del Monte display. On the wall/floor was a
frieze to have a laugh with. I know, let’s get Bear to
pretend to pick up a tomato, I got ready on the thoughtfully placed
photographers footprints. Oh no, this is going to have to get so much better,
his feet are all wrong as is his right hand.
   On the wall was the history of Del Monte as a brand.
   Suddenly it twigged, we had seen
adverts in the souvenir shops for Inca Red (Del Monte
tomato juice) which at the time seemed a really odd thing to sell in a gift
shop. The actual bottles were 1,000 Yen (about six
pounds fifty two). So, here we are, in a quiet corner of a huge mall below the
tallest tower in the world, in a Del Monte Tomato Juice
Museum...........it says so on the free-standing
board.............
   Back to the posing bit, rethink the outcome, let’s go for the foot on
the tomato look. OK, I’ll try. No, no, no,
your right foot has to be six inches forward and your left leg has to go higher.
It won’t go any higher. What do you mean, it
won’t go any higher, try. No, it really won’t, I’m at my
physical limit. Heck are you, change legs then. Left foot OK, but
right foot has to go six inches higher. Same problem, it
won’t go any higher. If anyone had come by at this point and
listened to the left a bit, higher, right a bit........ We were now in fits and
decided to carry on with the ‘learning bit’.
           From vine to
shops, a happy story, now back to the posing........
 The hands are
good, you’ll have to step forward a bit and when you have, look at the
camera. I’ll break my neck and all the blood is rushing
to my head. Oh suffer for your art. That
will be your art then. Desist speaking.
      We take in all the advertisements in the display. One final go at the
posing.
 Perfect
hands. That’s it. I need a beer. But
what about your feet, you’re still treading on the tomato behind you...... I’ll
not type the next words that came out of my beautiful assistants mouth, but the
gist of it was, NO.
ALL IN ALL SUCH A GIGGLE
A SURPRISE FUN
