Dr. Lothario honored for his lifelong commitment – yes, for real!
(Guest article by Chloe Curious)
The Pleasantview waxworks have a new attraction, and when I say attraction, I mean that literally. As in: attractive. Never before has the museum had an attraction that was so attractive. That thing is so hawt, you get to wonder why it doesn´t melt, being made of wax and all.
Of course I speak of nothing less than the newest wax figure that was added to the collection, a very lifelike statue of Don Lothario. The new exhibit is ready for public display this weekend and the waxworks expect much traffic from all across the state. I was privileged to sneak a peak before that, obviously, and I tell you, the entrance fee is money well spent for this one exhibit alone! If you are a guy, this is the closest you´ll come to sweet Don ever. Even if he had a thing going for you, we gals wouldn´t let you steal him from us – hehe, no offence meant.
As to why this piece of art was erected, do we really need another reason than Don´s perfect body and smile? Ah, well, I guess the mayor thinks so.
Don Lothario, restless pleaser of all women in town, is to be honored for his life´s work as an astronomer and doctor. Without his dedicated work at mapping the movements in our orbit, telling apart near-Earth objects from actual UFOs, earth might have fallen prey the the so-called "Greenlings“ long ago. You know this is true, even though he insists it is just a hobby!
Dr. Lothario is also one of the leading experts in human-greenling hybrid medicine. Over the last three decades he studied the physiology of the half aliens that he insists to call "bastards“, because "hybrids“ is for plants only.
Many a night Dr. Lothario has sat at a young patient´s bed, as sleepless as the child´s mother, anxious whether his impromptu cure would work or not. And never even once thinking about the lady romantically, as it just wasn´t the appropriate moment.
You see, being born of two species, we alien hybrids are affected much stronger by many childhood ailments and allergies. In some of us our mixed-physique intestines battle each other, so those unfortunates need lifelong medication not to get healthy again, but simply to continue existing. And though there are still people around who claim that only a dead alien is a good alien, Dr. Lothario is not one of those. If not for him, many alien hybrids would not have lived to adulthood.
Don loves. Deep and passionately, and if he gets into trouble with this or that husband that he made a cuckold, then only because there´s so much love inside Don that he cannot contain alone.
But seriously, this is gloomy stuff I rarely ever wish to dwell on. Not just the allergies-part, but especially the decisions people in Dr. Lothario´s line of work have to face every day. What to do with a crashlanded greenling astronaut that his people have written off anyway? Patch him up, if you are perhaps just one vivisection away from being able to help a dozen innocent children? It isn´t a call I´ll want to make (or not make) anytime in my life…
Like many of the more serious hobby astronomers, Don Lothario, too, is in constant danger of getting abducted. If it has already happened to him, then the general public was not told. All we know is that there was no sudden epiphany or increase in the doctor´s knowledge. All his expertise is the result of his own hard work.
So IF he has seen an UFO from the inside, indeed, the aliens did not share anything of their superior understanding of medicine with their captive. We may be nothing but cattle to them and, call Dr. Lothario what you want for running off with your betrothed, that low he´d never stoop!
People like Dr. Lothario are soldiers, not in camouflage fatigues, but in white coats. They make it possible for us to go about lives, pursue our dreams or even, if we choose to, just pass our time innocent and shallow. And to live in the knowledge that we and our own children will profit from his contribution to medicine.
Perhaps you, yes, you, my green-skinned friend reading this article right now, have benefited from Don Lothario´s work, without ever learning his name. If so, then head to Pleasantview and leave a note in the visitor´s book! Or you may be a perfectly ordinary human, who has only heard of Don´s legend, but perhaps you are too shy to actually walk by his home. In this case, it would be a shame not to visit the waxworks. Bring your kids, too, it´s educational with wax figures of Admiral Landgraab and suchlike dead celebs!
In closing I have only one thing to say: You can study MY physiology anytime, Don! For the benefit of both our worlds!
Love,
Chloe
P.S.: That was fun! And I have more pics with Waxie-Donnie and me – check put my tumblr CCfromstrangetown.tumblr.com!
