American Gothic - Vinyl Pillow
I'm unsure why someone would choose to preserve their family photo portrait on a vinyl pillow. Or why she had her hair done and he donned his Sunday suit, then were lighted as subtly as in an interrogation cell for the picture. But they did.
True. True. But then you know it's a joke. That's where the line of sanity is drawn unless you have this displayed on a plaid couch with an orange shag rug. Then everything is up for debate.
I keep coming back to this and all I can verbalize is "Whoa, imagine the rest of the house decor."
ReplyDeleteI guess the irony is that this pillow is now part of the decor of MY house.
