(I forgot about) FATHER'S DAY

So you know how yesterday was quite a big day for the ones amongst you that have fathered an offspring? yeah...

... you all knew about it, including this guy:


...who threw plenty of reminders my way...

free drinks? final draft? fone daphne(sp)? admittedly, it could be anything!

but still... it all went over my head.

Until this morning when it dawned on me... F. D. .... FATHER'S DAY!!!!!!!!!

OH CRAP!!!!!!!!!!

And since my "OH CRAP" face has evolved into a significantly less adorable version of the photo above, changing this mood around may require some effort...



No, dad, you listen now, imma make it up to you, promise!!


But lets start with some reverse guilt tripping first...

Hey Dad, remember that time you and mum happily posed in Venice while I was being eaten alive by pigeons?


yeah.... that wasn't very nice now was it?!

But it's ok, I survived what could have forever been remembered as the poor man's Hitchcock disaster and can thus move on to wish you a Happy Father's Day which you wholeheartedly deserve for all the reasons I am about to list below (as well as provide photographic evidence for)

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY DAD AND THANK YOU...


  • FOR SCHOOLING ME IN ALL THINGS GREAT MUSIC






...AND THE GROOVY DANCE MOVES TO GO WITH IT...






  • THANK YOU FOR LOVING ME AS A BABY, DESPITE LOOKING LIKE THIS 



I bet you loved it when people said I looked just like you...

  • AND THANK YOU FOR NOT LETTING ME STARVE (, despite aforementioned hideousness )
<3




  • THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME TO BE SILLY, HAVE FUN AND NOT TAKE MYSELF TOO SERIOUSLY.



I was chubbahontas...
  • THANK YOU FOR SETTING AN EXAMPLE OR TWO ABOUT ACCESSORISING





...although I am NOT thankful about the way your knack for accessorising translated in children-wear  ...

Baby Dyke Economou
 thank you for capturing this fetching ensemble on camera and an even bigger thank you to the little girl next to me, for providing some obvious contrast between normal VS overstuffed piglet in a striped onesie and pink tights...
  • I WOULD ALSO LIKE TO THANK YOU FOR OUTGROWING CERTAIN LOOKS (halleluja's all around)
The meanest kagouras around


  • THANK YOU FOR TEACHING ME HOW TO POSE LIKE A PRO


...an area in which you admittedly had some pretty strong in-house competition...

can you say awkward phase?

"smile"
  • "THANK YOU" FOR PASSING DOWN YOUR EYEBROWS (along with most of your face...)

  • BUT ALSO, THANK YOU FOR DECIDING TO PROCREATE WITH THIS GENETIC GEM!!

  • MORE THAN ANYTHING, (soppy bit), THANK YOU FOR ALWAYS HANGING OUT WITH ME NO MATTER HOW SMALL, STROPPY, TEENAGE-Y OR NEGLECTFUL OF MY PHONE I'VE BEEN... AND THANK YOU FOR NOT ONCE MAKING ME FEEL LIKE YOU'RE NOT ENJOYING MY COMPANY TOO (Let's exclude Finlandgate...)














'till next year ...
