Laundry on a Grandma's Line



Thanks to Mar for this one. She says" Saw your link at rashbre's and here I am. Don't know if my pic fits the requirements but here it is. I love this picture, took it last december (note the Xmas decorations) while on ski vacation ( French Alps), grandma's underwear! decorating the restaurant.--

I actually do think it fits quite well. Not sure how your grandma decided to hang her underwear up there, but it's laundry, and it's funny, so I like it.

Laundry in a Sexy Laundromat


If only I looked like this when I did my laundry! Thanks to Rashbre for this one. I have to say that all these people posting their great pics with laundry themes has really made my week that much more enjoyable. I actually laugh out loud every time I get a good one. Thank you so much and keep 'em coming!

I guess I should actually do some of my own laundry this weekend. Ugh. It's not actually doing the laundry that I enjoy - just seeing it on the line. The end, not the means.

Although when I worked in the rainforests of Costa Rica I lived with this amazing Guyanese woman that beat her laundry on the rocks in order to get out every last speck of dirt. I tried to learn from her, but let's face it. I sucked at it. I felt like the grimy gringa that I'm sure the clean Costa Ricans thought I was. But the Guyanese girl - she took about 10 minutes per shirt, and always came out sparkling clean and ready to go to the local pub for a party. My whites were just meant to be grey.

Dr. Laundry and Something Unique



This submission is a bit different. It comes from Vanx. "I think at full size you can make out the screen. This is a photo from a magazine article I wrote on the blog. Featuring my clean laundry." The computer screen is actually a website for "Dr. Laundry", which is quite funny. Sadly, I don't think you can see it well. You can click on the image to make it fit your screen and that might help.



I like this one from Shane. It's cool to see people submitting their own artwork as well their laundry. Keep 'em coming folks. I can see this thing taking on a life of it's own!

To go directly to Rick and Shane's blogs, please go to the comments section on the next post and click on their names. If I really am going to keep this project going, I'm obviously going to need to learn how to have hyper-links in my actual entries. But for now, it's Saturday morning and I am drinking my cappuccino slowly.

The first Laundry Art Submissions are in!

How exciting! Thanks to Bobealia for being unemployed and taking the time away from her job hunt to find us some lovely images of laundry on our global line. Love it.

Here we go:


Bobealia submitted this one bc she says, "This one reminds me of art school"
and she got it from http://www.sarahjanesemrad.com/blog/laundry.jpg"


And again, Bobealia's comments on why she submitted this one: "Of course I love this one because it has graffiti in it"

Bobealia says "Lurve this one!"

I'm with her on this one. Love the underwear/"pants" on the line. So very black and white and fun!

Bobealia also found an awesome laundry themed artist site, which is
http://www.laundrylist.org/art/gallery/annalisaparent.htm She says, I like the tie-dye in a park one. Very cool. Sadly, I dont know how to make these websites all fancy so you can just click on them and get to them right away. My apologies to the artists - if anyone wants to hack into my site and fix it, go nuts.

I'm absolutely loving this concept! I hope you are too, and that I get way more pictures of your laundry on my line.
