Tale of the Tail: Sergey by Richard Rothstein


'Bend over and let me see you shake a tail feather
Bend over and let me see you shake a tail feather'
Tina Turner


When Richard Rothstein recently sent on this Autumnal themed set with Sergey, I knew they'd be perfect for Thanksgiving week.  Of course the Autumn colors, both on and around Sergey, were perfect for the holiday and season.  I love like so many of nature's wonders, Sergey's colors blend into the Autumn palette of the surrounding tree's and forest.


Sergey's striking art piece was found on Esty, and made it's way over from China for the shoot.  The Autumn body bouquet didn't just remind me of the holiday's colors, they also reminded me of another symbol of Thanksgiving, the Thanksgiving turkey.


Now Sergey obviously looks nothing like a turkey,  but just like the peacock, turkey's puff up their bodies and spread their fancy tail feathers in order to attract a mate.  Each year, 'Gobblers', use their tails, to get tail.  The back feathers are puffed up and Tom Turkey struts around in hopes of attracting as many admirers and mates as possible.


Sergey has also been known to strut, not out of vanity or arrogance, but out of confidence and pride.  Like those amorous barnyard birds, Sergey also attracts attention wherever he's out in the wild. Now admittedly, especially when he's out with Richard, Sergey' often naked, a sight not always expected by those out for a leisurely walk. With or without his elegant Autumn ensemble, Sergey natural draws and attracts attention.
