Coolamon Style Baby Silla
Was going to call it "Baby Head Carriage" but thought people might think it was some sort of Old West Horse-and-Cart for the transportation of decapitated babies´ heads. | |
Imagine a tiny but exquisitely detailed sedan chair, decorated with purple silk and galvanised carvings around its frame. The cushion is made of soft velvet, upon which a baby sits, strapped in yet dignified, possibly with a hat, waving erratically at passers by. Dribble optional.
Rather than be carried
by 2 to 4 slaves, this tiny sedan is carried by one slave (read: parent), but unlike the single-porter ´Silla´ it is carried like the ´Coolamon´ pot - upon the head. Supports descend from the back of the chair running down the carrier´s back to a waistband to ensure stability. The roof of the chair extends above and beyond the baby´s reach to ensure no injury is incurred from low bridges, electircal wires or rogue trapeze artists.
I don´t know why.

Aren't there enough parents putting their children on a pedestal already? |

Read the title, thought they were the lyrics to "Homeless" on Paul Simon's "Gracelands". |

Absinthe-- I had the same association! |

I eagerly await [benfrost]'s submission of the most effective means for transporting decapitated baby heads. |
|
|
You might be waiting a while... I've not seen [ben] recently. Anyone? |
|
|
He hasn´t anno´ed or posted anything since I´ve been here, which is over a year now. |

I'm no Ben Frost, but Ill take a stab at decapitated baby head transportation methods, how about an oversized baseball pitching machine? Think it would seroiusly tramatize mothers that observe the random landing site for said baby heads. |

Hmmm. Perhaps I should have left out the babies heads bit. It wasn´t supposed to become the main subject of discussion. Ah, never mind. Glad people like the idea. I can imagine a child Emperor, from Tibet say, being carried by his Guardian through a shopping mall in luxurious style in one of these. |
