Popinjay: Guilty (a concept photography post)
Thanks to Sheena at Sophistishe.com I found out about the fun Popinjay photography challenge.
It’s a concept photo that embodies a word. This weeks word? Guilty.
The reason I love this photo is because your first instinct for why this embodies the word guilty is probably wrong. Sure it’s a mixed drink and the middle of the day. Drinking could be the way to go with the guilty vibe.
But it’s not.
I feel like a horrible person for using plastic cups. Because the amount of pollution caused by recycling plastic is disgusting. I know this, but I still love drinking out of plastic cups. It might be fond memories of frat parties in college…it might be that I can throw them away and not stuff my dishwasher with one more thing…I don’t know.
But when people come over I hide my plastic cups (unless it’s a birthday party because those are universally exempt from having to be entirely green) until they go, so they don’t judge me for my love of the disposable cup.
Especially the red ones. With the grip texture. they’re like a siren song from the Walmart aisle you’re never supposed to go down…calling to me…promising both mixed drink delights and easy clean-up.
The very definition of guilt, I would say.

Yep – I’m a Joiner!
Glad you joined us!! Love this picture and post.
I’m the opposite though, I can’t stand drinking out of plastic!! Has nothing to do with being green though, I just hate it. I don’t like metal cups either. Just glass. Or crystal. If I had my druthers I’d druther drink out of crystal. LOL
Look what Michelle Pendergrass wrote! Popinjay–BOLD
Oooh I hate metal cups too!!! I don’t like regular plastic cups, either. Like the hard plastic. Thanks SO much for stopping by! I am working on BOLD now and can’t wait to have a moment of epiphany or clarity or something. Anytime now. Now would be good. LOL
