Ruby Tuesday: The Original Ruby Slippers.

Before Judy Garland,

Before Dorothy,

Before L. Frank Baum,

There were Ruby Slippers:

And Oh, those Lady’s slippers!  Lush and full, vascular and inviting,

Queen of the Woodland Blooms, sensual and elegant,

Irresistible to her pollenators, who enter through her frontal folds but are forced by her form to exit through the opening in her top

…taking a parcel of pollen with them.

Form follows function,

function follows form.

It’s genius,  I tell you!
