Beauty and the beast clasped each other in adoration. He might have moth-eaten wings, but she loved that he didn't mind her Rain Mac (132 characters with spaces)
Call it bare-faced cheek, but the stark reality shone before them as striking as his eyes were red and his wings moth-eaten. (124 characters

The Mothman is a 'cryptid' reportedly seen in the Point Pleasant area of West Virginia from November 12, 1966, to December 1967. Most observers describe him as a man-sized creature with large reflective red eyes and large wings.
The Mothman is brilliant!! I love the little boy pointing at his bum!!
ReplyDeleteYour stories are just perfect though! I especially like the first one - beauty and the beast!!!
I'm at work and can't play the clips!! But lovely Patrick Swayze!! Oh so miss him!! Take care

Eek! That head-on shot is enough to make any self respecting moth die of fright! A bestly beauty, indeed!
ReplyDeleteOops - try BEASTLY beauty - obviously, I'm as blind as a bat today, to keep similies within the animal kingdom! LOL
ReplyDeleteYour first 'story' is my favorite... ;)
ReplyDeleteAnd great choices for MMMM! LOVE Dirty Dancing, and those are two of my favorite songs from that movie! :)
MMMM: To the Sky
I watched this movie about the Mothman with my husband years ago and it gave me terrible, terrible nightmares. I will never look at a moth the same way again.
ReplyDeletelovely micro-fiction..
ReplyDeleteThe "bum" shot is hilarious. Very well played. I liked that they were able to overlook their differences and fine love beneath the exterior.
ReplyDeleteLovely! And 'cheeky' too...Thank you for the smile.
ReplyDeleteYou are so god with the micro-fiction!
ReplyDeleteAnd I had no clue it was Patrick that sang that song!
Love your songs!
Glad you are dancing with us today! :)
Once again, you blow me away with your creative writing ability! Great job! Love the music picks, too!
ReplyDeleteThis one gives "eye of the beholder" a whole new meaning. :) Thanks for the giggle.

Beauty abd the Beast is a wonderful reference for this picture. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI loved dirty dancing and hungry eyes is one of my favorites from the movie.
She's like the wind was written by Patrick S. what a raw talent he was.
Now that's just not fair! Patrick Swayze dancing and singing. I can't possibly concentrate on anything else for the rest of the day. LOL.
ReplyDeleteI liked your two stories and the take on the Mothman. Creepy film!
I do love the mutual attraction and the ability to overlook each others "flaws"! Been looking for someone like that for years! Swayze was always a favorite and your clips brought back such great, if sad, memories -- he was such an incredible talent and too young to die as he did. Have a great week!

I love the moth-eaten wings idea. Too funny.
ReplyDeleteCould NOT look at the Patrick Swayze videos. Tears in my eyes at the thought. Maybe later. My sister and I used to watch Dirty Dancing when her kids were asleep, so they wouldn't see us oohing and ahhing and swooning.

The things we overlook or put up with in those we love - LOL!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed both your stories this week--I think the first one is my favourite, though. Also, thanks for making me click on Hungry Eyes, and relive one of Patrick's best movies...now of course I have to watch the DVD today!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. Cheers.
I hope you dont mind- I used your photo and linked back to your blogpost for this!
ReplyDeleteThose two are very good ones of PS. Just thought of it, he isn't just an actor but also a great dancer.
ReplyDeleteLove your first one about the Beauty & the beast. That was the first thing I thought of when I saw the photo. Plus the photo of little boy pointing at his hiney is cute.
ReplyDeleteLOVE, LOVE your songs! I adored Patrick Swayze and miss him - much to young to be gone.
Dirty Dancing is one of my favorite movies... "Nobody puts Baby in the corner..." A classic line.
Awh thanks everyone.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad, too, we can bring Patrick Swayze back just for a few delicious moments. The thrill and warmth of the songs and his performances are his great legacy. Enjoy the film again Lorie :O)
Great song choices. Now I want to see Dirty Dancing again. :)
ReplyDeleteLoved the beauty and the beast one!
ReplyDeleteBare "faced"? I am thinking anatomy lessons are in order. ;)
ReplyDeleteToo funny! i love this. I bet Susan does, too!
I think I like your first take better-opposites attract I guess :)
ReplyDeleteThe Mothman is fascinating, but I love your choices for this weeks music. Patrick was such a cutie pie wasn't he. I can't really say he was handsome as he was more CUTE! I drool when I see him I'll tell ya! Love the songs. Thanks for playing. Sure hope you come back next week too & don't forget about our give-away over at Conductor Larry's at Cakeblast (link is on my blog).
ReplyDeleteMadeleine, I love the moth-eaten wing bit! Of course that will balance the scale with his goofy-dressed lady friend.
ReplyDelete"But Beast, what red eyes you have."
"The better to hang over you, my dear."
..
Bare-faced cheek! I wish I'd added that to mine. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteHave a great week.
That Mothman such a hottie
ReplyDeletegreat MFMs!!! and the pics
Strange how weirdos seem to have such a fascination for attractive young ladies! Nice MFM's . . and I like the alternative views.
ReplyDeleteLove the pics and the sentences :)
ReplyDeleteI love how blog browsing puts up such a feast for the eyes...heart your blog!
Obviously they are made for each other!
ReplyDeleteGood slant on this one. However, I fear that I will be singing
ReplyDelete"Tale as old as time, song as old as rhyme"
in my head for the rest of the day. :)
Love the Dirty Dancing songs!
ReplyDeleteloved them both, too funny. I didn't realize he had red eyes!
ReplyDeleteTwo good ines, Madeleine! Love is blind indeed!
ReplyDeleteTwo good ones, not ines!!
ReplyDeleteCoo Pat you had me guessing there lOL!
ReplyDeleteThank you everyone for your wonderful comments :O)
