The Kiss
Almost forgot to recap this little story.
You might have seen this photo already. It’s quite a classic. I’ve got the story behind it. Woohoo, a wastedwounded exclusive! (It might have been circulated earlier, though. Dunno.) At the KVS afterparty last Wednesday, a friend of mine was curious about those super-daring girls who manage to score Tom like he’s easy game - how do they transform from nice-looking groupies to idol-licking whores from Hell? What do they tell him? Does Tom have any particular type (I’d say tall and blonde and young, but I’ve seen exotic exceptions).
So the answer hit me like a truck. Mauro. Pawlowski. He was standing nonchalantly by the counter, right next to me, so I just turned to him and said -
- «Hey Mauro pal, I’ve got this little question, it’s kinda embarrassing, but you’re a man of experience so I’ll ask it anyway.»
- «Haha, nothing can embarrass Somnabula!!! HAHAHAHA!» (I might be overdoing it - editor’s note.)
- «Well then. There’s this photo of you and Tom, snogging like the world’s about to end and there’s no goat on the island. Looks ‘95-ish to me. So the question goes - how did you trap Tom into your evil seducing strategies?»
- «Aaaaah, then that’s not a question for Somnabula. That’s one for Il Signore Mauro Antonio Pawlowski. I shall enlighten you, caro.» (I am most definitely overdoing it - editor’s note.)
- «Well?»
- «Actually it was Tom.»
- «Ha, I knew he was gay!» (Not that I’m interested in the slightest. He’s got no butt worth mentioning.)
- «Dream on. And stop interrupting me. I could be Somnabula again. We were at some party (erh, I think it must have been dEUS+ES at Vooruit in 96, but I can’t remember that) and some photographer…»
- «… caught you red handed!»
- «… asked if he could take a photo. Make it interesting guys, he said. So Tom frenched me.»
- «Oh. Well… Thanks for your help. I’ll just go put some Xanax in my friend’s glass then. Catch you later.»
Only later did I realise I had my camera in my pocket, and a friend willing to help make interesting pictures.
