"Hey Mom, I want to be a Show Girl!"

Oh Yeah, I know it's a bit shameful, but yes, yours truly has always, always had a thing for
the cute little blinged out costumes, feathers, and makeup. I wanted to be a Show Girl!!!
I can only imagine what I put my poor parents through using their good sheets and
wax flowers trying to pull it off he he he! Here's wishing you a very happy and safe Halloweeny!

  2. And she is *Dahling*!!!
    I still want to be a showgirl, except I can't dance, have enough body for TWO showgirls and all the curves are in the wrong places....
    Maybe when the new hip is in I can at least Can-Can again.....or manage the basic ballet positions...
    You ARE a showgirl!!! :)

    XXOO!!

  7. Your show girl is absolutely stunning! Funny, when I was much younger, I always wanted to be a ballerina, but that changed once I got older. Now I'm a frustrated rocker chic. Heehee!

    Beautiful illustration, Momma. As per usual, YOU ROCK!

  19. Very cool, Vanessa! Glad to hear about your twin brother meeting Peter! I wish I could do that too..I think it's awesome that there's such a great group of people out there who care about art, like yourself, girl. I will be looking around for my showgirl outfit here too - though right now, it's just vampire and pirate gear for my girls for Saturday. Hope you're doing well!! I'll keep you posted! : )

  25. Her name was Nessa,
    She was a showgirl
    With yellow feathers in her hair
    And a dress cut down to there
    She would merengue
    And do the cha-cha
    And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar
    Across a crowded floor,
    They worked from 8 till 4
    They were young and they had each other
    Who could
    Ask
    For
    More?

    OOOooooh, girl, you have it going ON! Only you could wear bedsheets and wax flowers and make it look so glamorous! Kick it!
