Buttercup, In High Cotton
October 11, 2008|Comments (21)
As you may have guessed, I am completely and utterly fascinated by animal behavior. I stalk them like Marty Stauffer of Wild America. Using my very best Steve Irwin (God Bless him) voice, I attempt to charm the wild beasts into posing for the camera like couture models. It goes something like this, “Crikey, she’s a beauty!” and then I turn into a Queenie fashion photographer: “You own it, baby! That’s it! Work it!” Most of the animals have learned to tune me out. They just go on doing whatever it is that they were doing before the strange human began dancing around jabbering at them. But not Buttercup. Buttercup loves the spotlight. And attitude? Ho! Ho! Laws-a-mercy!
Apart from having perfect posture, she rocks that feather boa like nobody’s business.
“Eat your heart out, Hulk Hogan. You only dreamed of looking this good in feathers.“
Models practice for years to achieve such a distinctive walk.
“These boots are made for walkin’, y’all.”
She gets to the end of the runway
and bows gracefully.
“Like Paris Hilton to actresses with real talent.”

HAHAHAHAHA! “Work it! Work it! Work it, Buttercup! That’s it - yeah, baby!”
That is just awesome, Lacy.
And you, my friend, are an awesome photographer who knows just how to work with these high-maintenance models, too. 
I just love the way you caption stuff… LOLOL
You’re working on a story, you say? Link, please!
I wanna read it! 
*hug*
I’m off to pick up my friend Teri so we can go take some pictures of a haunted hotel. Catch ya later, sweet lady!
*hug*
Go Buttercup- Go Buttercup - she is workin’ it! We have some goats who never look at the camera and three who almost put their mouths on the lens! God made animals for many reasons -not the least of which is comic relief!
I love those pictures and her attitude! Sweet!
Cheers,
Rosa
Wow! She has no bad side.
Great pics., BTW. Very funny commentary.
Well, it’s about time. You finally showed up on my Bloglines today with 5 posts. Go figure.
Love the chicken pics. I’m such a chicken fan myself. I can’t wait to get more!
Your a hoot and buttercup sure is sweet…work it girl!
Cute, cute!
Ha! Your captions cracked me up! Baby got back!
You go chicken-friend! Love it!
Oh she is a cutie! Love the pics! She’s such a ham! haha
FUNNY!!! Buttercup is a HOTTIE!
She OWNED that runway…
Buttercup, you go girl!
You sure have some racy poultry on your farm!!! So cute, Lacy!
Sweet and funny too!
Lacy: What a great story about your strutting big girl.
Work it OUT, baby!! I love Buttercup’s colors - so gorgeous!
You are so funny. She does seem to like the spotlight. I can see how she and Samantha look alike, just like twins like you said. That is cool. I didn’t think of having Samantha walk the runway. I think she would enjoy the lifestyle as well.
What a beautiful chicken! Thank you for your kind words during the last few weeks!
How perfectly you match the shots with the thoughts! I’d expect nothing less of you dear Lacy! I can just see and hear you out there having a blast!
~Hugs for you~

I was looking for one of the more recent posts to use to comment and to say HI . It has been quite a while. I remember when you were on brave.net and you moved to another spot, but this site is looking really good! A lot of work goes into it I see. Glad I dropped by and explored awhile.
I Love Chickens! Great Pictures.
