George Harrison photographed by Beatle fan Pattie Emerson at Kinfauns in 1967. Photo courtesy of Meet the Beatles for Real, with the additional info that “Pattie was a 14 year old fan who knocked on George’s door and was given an orange soda by him while he chatting and signed autographs for her.”

The time frame of this photo also corresponds with one of Ken Mansfield’s memories:

“It was one of those days where it was nice to make plans to do nothing… No one was answering the phone at their house, so we figured they couldn’t hear the phone because they were out by the pool. Anxious to set about doing nothing with them, we decided to grab our swimming suits and drive over and join them. We walked through the gate and saw George and Pattie lying by the pool sunbathing. We yelled our hellos from a slight distance on our way across the large lawn into the pool area. Upon seeing us headed in their direction, George suddenly jumped up and grabbed a long-sleeve shirt from the back of a nearby chaise lounge and quickly put it on. I didn’t think anything of it, figuring it was an act simultaneous to our arrival to cover up from getting sunburn. 
Later, while George and I were in the kitchen and the wives had gone shopping, Pattie confided to my wife that George was bashful about his slenderness and was embarrassed to be seen without his shirt on. When she told me this, I realized I had never seen him in anything but long pants and primarily long-sleeve shirts before. It all goes to show how we think of celebrities as so invincible, and yet here was a normal person with normal little insecurities like everyone else.” - Ken Mansfield, The White Book [x]

Me posing awkwardly as Seymour with the Audrey 2 I made for my Halloween Party at work.

*EDIT: I posted a couple of pictures in how I made this vegetable. Just go under my “Little Shop Of Horrors” tag and it’s all there. 😁
