Uh, hon... there's a little Freud on our fridge

My roommate works in the psych research department at a local hospital. She is very into psychology. So much so that her mother gave her a small psychology gift for Christmas: a magnetic likeness of Dr. Sigmund Freud. Freud, the psychologist best known for his theories on dream interpretation, the development of the field of psychoanalysis, and his"research" on how the different stages of sexual desire affect one's life.

Freud likes to keep it real on our fridge.

                                                    

The magnetic Freud includes all sorts of modern day outfits and potential cross-dressing apparel. Freud has a mohawk, for when he's feeling unconventional and misunderstood. He has a bustier and a ruffly skirt for when he's feeling frisky. And more. The facial expression that Freud is given is one of critical disapproval, which seems quite fitting for the man behind the magnet. This look of mild disdain suits all sorts of his potential outfits. Today I thought it looked best while wearing his brain-mapping tee shirt (oh. Meta!) and his jean shorts ("jorts") hung low over his white boxers. I even gave him a mom tattoo. (Clever.) He is holding a ginormous lollipop and cigar, and all this coupled with his youthful baseball hat gives him the impression of being a man stuck between childhood and adulthood, with an infatuation with his mother.

I'm sure the real Freud would be having a field day with the implications.
