Your Morrissey shrine

[Viva Tom]

Thanks Tom, Gregor. I never thought about it, but it IS a pretty shrine-like arrangement. Candles and the triptych setting. I'd like to think a view of Bona Drag-era Morrissey sets the tone for a nice relaxing bubble bath... but I don't know that the guests agree...

Well, Piccadilly Palare.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

Come on! Wanna see!

Okay, but don't make fun of it. And it's not like a shrine shrine, it's just the top of my bookshelf and it's not like I pray at it or anything, I just burn my incense and light candles there because it's safe. Morrissey is in the middle, it's like Where's Waldo a little bit, all the other images around him represent him in a way. It's complicated and I won't go into it and I'm NOT like some batty witch, it's just a way to organize my brain about him.

Here's a close-up of the actual Morrissey part.

I like how subtle it is. It's a good use of physical imagery. Bravo!

same photoshoot qui. ermm look to the right. 50 extra points if you can guess which photo the picture was painted from. I've only got a massive copy so I hosted it, rather than making this thread really wide.

Agreed - I like the subtlety as well, and the thought behind it!

Thanks. He's the only living person or thing represented on it. Actually, the image is from one of those afterparty postcards shoved in my hands after a concert. I have a larger Years of Refusal LP propped up on a different bookshelf so I can get a good look at him everyday.

Nice, I think I'd like your Morrissey space. Mines rather tiny, and unfufilling.

I miss mine, it's a shame it was never really as tidy as that. Also, the majority of the stuff is internet prints.

sorry, not the best pics..

Are those seed packets in between with the roses on them? I love this.

Actually they are old pics of seed packets..I grow antique roses and you don't want to see the shrine I have on those LOL!
All the Morrissey stuff is all stuff JJ has sent me over the years.

I think I just did. If anyone is a beautiful antique rose, it's Morrissey.

are you a protest singer?

 

[snowfallsoon]

Here's one for you, from 1868.

 

[CrystalGeezer]

Best. Hobby. Ever.

How beautiful.

I know!! I don't think having over 60 different rose bushes is a bad thing at all.
