Things that crack me up #39
Cilla at Big Noise cracks me up. After my last published edition of what afflicts me with the chuckles, Penny at Disability Studies posted a similar example of restroom signage discrimination where disabled guy is denied clothes. So, Cilla created this Wheelchair Cowgirl for me. Take that half-naked nondisabled Hawaiian guy and Knott's Berry Farm Cowboy Dude!
Image description: Cilla's artwork takes disabled guy, the basic universal disability access symbol, and gives him a cowboy hat, sheriff's star pinned to his chest, fringed chaps (showing the fringes on the underside of his thighs), kickass cowboy boots with spurs, and a lasso swinging in the air from his arm. She's beautiful. Thanks, Cilla!

Yes, but how the heck does he STEER?
More talent than me, probably *grin*
er SHE rather, whoops. :)
YEE-HAW! Excellent! :)
she's the best huh? i'm trying to decide if i like the pants fringes better or the badge.
It's been interesting to me how relative it all is. In my fifteenth year of an untreatable progressive disease and mostly bedridden, battling bedsores among many other things, I remember in the early years, when I could still function, (in my late thirties) about as well as most senior citizens, thinking how bad it must be to have to be in a wheelchair!
At this point, too fragile to leave the house by any means for four years, getting around in a wheelchair really would feel as independent as a cowboy out on the range...
Brilliant! I love this... especially the great big boot. I can envision a whole series of these.
I am so jealous! That icon rox!
Cowboy Hat! Shades of Justin Dart! ;)
I was chatting with someone who knew him earlier today. She had some hilariously awesome stories.
