Sexy Santa Throne Contest
I remember many a picture from my youth, sitting on Ye Olde Santa @ various malls–the screaming baby, the mezmerized kindergardener, and the awkward toothless, bad-haired eight-to-ten stage (Daniel claims to have never gone through this stage; I know better, people, I know better…). Looking back at those photos now with my eagle designer eye, I see those Santa thrones weren’t really quite as majestic as the mini Maite saw through those dewy, young, still-believin’-in-Santa eyes.
No, what I see now are thrones that were already probably decades old, with worn velvet arm rests where the poor Santa rubbed his hands hour after hour from anxiety, heat, and boredom. Little flecks of gildiness are missing from the grand carved legs where bullies may have kicked or where giddy little girls with those patent leather (plastic?) shoes swung their nervous heels back and forth, chip,chip, chip. Maybe even a few candy-cane-colored stains from little hands, dripping in Christmas candy and spittle.
DOESN’T SANTA DESERVE BETTER THIS YEAR?
He deserves something he can look sophisticated and wise in, something that gives a little back support, with a firm cushion to support all our, um, robust American Youth these days. Santa deserves something that makes all those divorcees stop and look at the poor guy in a new light.
