I found this photo on a French fashion blog – an example, perhaps, of interesting window dressings? But my storytelling brain went elsewhere with this. A lot of elsewheres, in fact. This is one of the quirkier photos I’ve seen in a while, so of course I can’t wait to see what my VisDare friends come up with.
1 week. 150 words. The Visual Dare tab is there for those who need more info (or maybe a really cool banner to help with bragging rights on your blog). Sky’s the limit!
Ready…set…WRITE.

Inflated Ego
He had a big head and he knew it. Arrogance dripped from him. All dressed up in his Armani suit, thinking it would impress everyone – knowing it would impress some. Wafting into the conference room where he wasn’t meant to be, catching everyone’s attention in the middle of her presentation. Lucy wanted to scream, but sitting in the tightly packed train it wouldn’t be a good idea. She clutched her handbag tighter and glared out of the window. She imagined her head enlarging with the pent up anger, like a balloon on the verge of bursting. Then she pictured his head like a balloon and popping it with a big, shiny needle. A smile crept into the corners of her mouth. Yes, his big fat head like a wobbly balloon, just begging to be burst. She suppressed a giggle, and the grip on her handbag loosened.

I think we’re ready gentlemen. Now remember, do your best to remain inconspicuous. We’re here to mingle with the guests, keep our eyes and ears open and see what we can learn. James, I want you to take the library. See what the Norwegian ambassador is up to. I’ll take the main room and try to discover find out what the President and our PM are talking about. They’ve been very friendly just recently, always a worrying sign. Gerald, old boy, I want you to position yourself by the buffet table, see what the gossip is among the staff. And Gerry old man, I know I said to dress casual but your dressing gown! A bit over the top old chap, if you don’t mind me saying. Pop by the cloakroom, see if you can pick up something a bit more suitable. Right chaps, off we go and good luck.
