Photographer: “Okay, do you think this is a convincing publicity shot of Troy wooing the ladies?”
Agent: “I think it’s convincing me that Troy is terrified of ancient Pompeiian women who somehow survived the eruption of Mount Vesuvius and now they’re feeling a bit lusty after all those explosions in the sky. Try again.”
Note: This is Exhibit #7 in Bonnywood’s March Madness. Details found here.

His pose looks like it hurts.

I know that pose well, in those long-ago days when I pretended to be straight in high school. Luckily, no Pompeiian women showed up to challenge my deception…

It’s a very busy photo, indeed. Was there nothing else going on in the city that might be more interesting?

Troy looks like he’s not sure what he’s gotten himself into.

It’s his hiked right leg that says it all. He’s clearly in unrequited territory and his natural defensive instincts have kicked in…

Troy’s got that bemused look and despite his strong manly grip, clammy hands; by all accounts he had no grasp what to do with them. The hands, I mean! No, the girls! Or both?

Most assuredly, both. Tab is the wrong dog in this particular hunt, so he’s in a bit of a pickle…

I think the girl on the right is digging her fingernail into Troy’s left hand and I wonder why.

And by the look in her eyes, I’d say she’s not planning on letting go any time soon…

While it’s true Troy has his jewels on display, his attempt to control the wandering Pompeiin hands is highly suspect. Look but don’t touch ladies….

Exactly. Troy wants everybody to admire his package. Unless they don’t have a package themselves…

So is that guy behind Troy in the picture named Peter Something or the Other?
I think he was in TV westerns maybe?
Not Troy, though. He rode things other than horses.

First, your last line killed me.
Second, yep, that’s Peter Brown. I don’t know what HE rode in his lifetime, but right now he doesn’t seem to mind being the meat in a Pompeiian sandwich…

Sounds about right for Peter Brown, and now that I think about it, I believe he did play in a tv western at some point.
Oh well, thanks for the memories.
