A man in a dress showing his bits to a pet pig

The pig I’ve seen on numerous occasions — it waits patiently while its owner enjoys a drink or two nearby.

Seeing said pig being flashed, however, was most definitely a first.

    LOL! Talk about being in the right place at the right time, or maybe the opposite? What do was this old guy thinking? I’m at a loss for words.

      Haha, yes, very debatable whether it was good timing or not!

      Your guess is as good as mine. It was funny and bewildering all at once.

    Those expressions! I quite wondered what the title was about before I scrolled down.
    It’s not everywhere you could leave a pig to its own devices ..unless they are watching, glass in hand.
    I love the harness decor.
    One for ‘The Distinctive’ category?

      I know eh? As odd as the whole scene is, it’s those expressions that appeal to me the most. The confusion is etched on their faces!

      Quite possibly, or perhaps a category all its own!

    This is so random. That poor pig!

      Certainly not what I was expecting to see, but that’s definitely one of the beauties of Tokyo. Clearly not what the pig was expecting to see either!

    The pig doesn’t seem to be very receptive, does he? I think he is deliberately averting his eyes.

      No, and who can blame him?

      Haha, he does have that look, doesn’t he? Must have been desperately hoping for his owner to return and rescue him!

    Maybe I’m c-crazy, but haven’t you caught this cross-dressing flasher before? Looks mighty familiar…

      Oh, hadn’t thought of that. Got me thinking, but despite him looking not all that dissimilar to at least one of the others, I’m pretty sure I haven’t.

    OMG, the post really IS about what the title promised that it would be! If I didn’t know you or your blog better, I’d have said the whole incident was staged. A pet pig in Tokyo is already weird enough and then you came across that bizarre “interaction”! :O

      Haha, yes, it really is!

      I know eh? I don’t think I could have imagined something like this to stage it anyway!
