Barkin’ Mad: 6 May 09

Model Manners

This will not be a long post.  Let the photos speak for themselves.  And so, on with our fairytale:

Once upon a time at a Roti Hut “potluck” deep in Chaguaramas backwaters, a stranger joined our group for a chat.  Worse luck!  He was an Aussie (the accent was a dead give-away!).  “I’m looking for a handsome man” he said, eyes twinkling and gold tooth sparkling.  “Yep, righto” we all thought!

Barker's Bow Ties

Near enough to the next day, the Cap’n was delivered a calling card from The Admiral, who sat in splendour aboard his barge, Bow Tie Lady.  “Report to said film studio” he ordered “to meet glamorous makeup lady, professional photographer, and efficient management consultant”.  "But first, off to see hair stylist to the stars." And so we did; Mrs Cap’n riding shotgun (just to be safe & sure)! 

Strike a pose.  And another!  Work that floor….you got it goin’ boy! 

Afterwards, the Cap’n swept on his darkers (Trini for sunnies) a la CSI Miami style & the Crew squealed (we’d had a few wines by then!).  To maintain his incognito status (thus avoiding fan mobbings, silly!), home we travelled in a local, but nicely appointed mini-bus appropriately called “Obama”.

Dressed to Kill

Soon to be advertisement fodder on a website for bow ties, himself now has 5 mins of credit up on his 15 minutes of fame.  The Admiral, task achieved, then sailed off into the sunset (actually for St Lucia). 

Strange but (nearly) true!

PS.  Himself's Press Agent (now that he's a professional, you know) has asked the Ed to include Peter Barker Bow Ties web site in order for you to see more of his modelling portfolio.  Of course, ahem!   Links will be established when said web site is ready to go to air. Bet you can't wait......

(Ed Note, 2010.  A note to report that sadly himself & said bowties are no longer on air.  Peter is still sailing (somewhere) but the new business apparently not!)
