In The telegraph today ............'Tracy Emin declares she is not alone after her 'marriage' to a large stone in France'. Apparently she has married a large ancient stone wearing her father's white funeral shroud !! I'm not sure whether it was her or the stone wearing the shroud but I guess it was the stone !

I rest my case.

When I was working I was commissioned to work on a photography project with a group of elderly ladies. They each chose the subject of their project and one of them, slightly tongue in cheek, wanted to photograph her unmade bed - it was just at the time when T Emin was in the news because of hers. The final photograph was hysterical - she had even borrowed some condoms from her GS to put on the bedside table.

tiggy that's what I thought at first, it's the Edstone!

everyone grin

Well, she has got us all talking and given us some mirth!

As John MacEnroe said memorably:

'You can't be serious!'

Did anyone ask 'the stone' what he thought about all the publicity? I presume it was a he. Has he had therapy? especially as lots of GN'ers are about to roast him and make him lie on TE's extremities. smile

Was he a consenting adult? shock
If not, it could be illegal

Well, 'ancient' sounds quite old enough! grin

(although of course he could be suffering from dementia...)

Jalima Thu 24-Mar-16 19:48:37

But did anyone ask if there was any lawful impediment why these two should not be joined in marriage?

Sorry for making you cough Jalima grin. This thread has been so funny!

Imperfect27 Thu 24-Mar-16 20:10:05

Wonder who proposed? I heard that TE was bold, but he was boulder ...

Good Lord, apparently she was the one wearing her father's shroud shock I don't think I want to know how she got hold of that!

I have a grudging admiration for TE. She had a tough time as a teenager and I could see where she was coming from with the bed and the tent embroidered with the names of everyone she'd ever slept with (probably a bit embarrassing for some of them grin). I remember her staggering in drunk as a skunk to a very stuffy live television debate about modern art - she certainly enlivened it up. I think her parting shot was something like "Get this effing mike off me. I want to be freeeeeeeee. I want to see my mum". Made me laugh anyway.

Coughing again Imperfect, just before I go to bed!! lol

Wow! Elegran ........ Good pic, and they say that size doesn't matter! grin

It's the right shape anyway. Condoms could be a problem though ( visible or invisible)

How sad to "marry" a stone to try and stop loneliness.

Synonymous Fri 25-Mar-16 14:02:26

Is her dad dead or is he just making advance purchases in a well prepared sort of way? confused
I suppose that would be the 'something borrowed' then.

Synonymous Fri 25-Mar-16 14:04:19

objeone yes it is sad whether it is to try and stop loneliness or even as a publicity stunt. Poor woman.
