Lou travelled to Penang, Malaysia in 2007 and took these wonderful photos at a Thaipusam (more on ModBlog) festival..
Local boys taking part in the festival.

Meeeeow!
After that litter of cute boys with cute cats, I’ll leave the next image with you and say simply this - Discuss.
I really like this portrait of Critter and his son Talon!
When I asked him his real name I was happily surprised (and swooned a little, I must admit) to receive this reply..
“I’ve pretty much been known as ‘Critter’ ever since I was a wee lad. Mostly down to my love for reptiles (I’ve always had one with me at one time or another). So I figured might as well go and make it official!
Two trips to the courthouse and $37.10 later, tada!! Instant way to upset one’s mother.“
So, what’s your surname Critter.. Fritter?
I’m afraid I don’t have much information on this photo, other than the boys pledged allegiance to the edge and sealed the deal with a firm handshake from their father.
“My son was born today (22nd of June) at 4:35 p.m. He is 7lbs 8oz of good old fashion baby! I am so stoked to be a daddy and I’m pretty sure my kid is the cutest thing that ever walked or will walk, soon enough! His name is Tieran and it was kind of a hell of a ride getting him out, scary shit! I can’t wait for him to come home so I can give him all the lovin’ in the world!“
I came up with a funny caption and “thought balloon” for the mouse on the right - But no. Instead clickthrough for another shot of our furry little friends exploring a pair of stretched lobes..
IAM: Cerra and her baby-filled BME-logoed belly..
Push Cerra, Push! Actually it’s a bit early for that. Stop pushing Cerra, Stop!
