The Ballad Of The Snubbly Brothers

After a brisk row on the river the Snubbly brothers liked to get dressed up and go in to town for a fine dinner and maybe a show, if there happened to be anything playing that all three could agree on. The twins, Phimble and Pahlavi, didn't mind the general stir that always accompanied these excursions but their older brother, Claudio, really loved the spotlight. Claudio longed for the day when he'd be discovered but he'd given up explaining his hopes and dreams to his brothers.

In the past, when he'd tried to tell them of his yearnings, they'd listened to him kindly but he could tell they were really more interested in the motor cross race on the television. Yes, it was true, the twins lived for sport and Claudio longed for drama. Where it would all end no one could tell.

If only the probate judge would finally resolve the various issues surrounding their father's estate each brother could afford to strike out on his own and try for the elusive brass ring of LIFE.

This is a picture from fashion week. Seriously. Somebody expects people to dress like this. I, however, instead of finding it sartorially inspiring saw a story.
