No, I don't know why Cupid is right-handed but wears his holster on the left. Probably some obscure code lost to us here in the 21st Century.

What's more surreal? The family dressed like this outdoors in the middle of Winter-- or the fact that said underwear was actually sewn in the U.S.A? From the February issue of Good Housekeeping. Originally posted to flickr on 1/28/11.
