Cottingley Fairies Face In Hole



You've all heard of the Cottingley fairy hoax, right? If not, then click here to read about them and see a slide show of the photos from an old post of mine.

Anyway, the picture above is from FaceinHole.com. It's a site where you can put a picture in a hole in another picture. I chose the Cottingley fairies image because all of the other images of fairy tales were icky. (Note: this is a rather lurid and risque site. I was not prepared for all of the scantily clad males and females.) But there are real art pictures there as well. Just remember, I warned you.

Anyway, the Cottingley fairies image here does not show the fairies the way they were done originally. The face in the hole is not me. It is, rather, my daughter, whose image I use when I need a human face for artwork. I'm too old! Maybe if I can find a fairy godmother one, I will use my own face!

You are funny, but I can see parts of your face within your daughter's!

It's funny how things in life go in cycles. For example, the Cottingley Fairy image in FaceinHole and also there is a Disney movie - Tinker Bell and the Great Fairy Rescue, which follows a very similar story to the Cottingley story.
