Me

"Me"
12" x 9"
Pencil on paper





















It was the sixties — now I'm IN my sixties!  I wanted a bentwood rocker and the only way to get the money for it was to join a band and dance ...  at the Playmore Ballroom in Fort Dodge, Iowa. One night of dancing paid for the chair.  I was a go-go girl and loved every minute of it. 

This is a piece to satisfy the Dailypaintworks "Paint Yourself Young" Challenge.  Fortunately, I have photos of me at this age that were taken by a photographer in the art department at the TV station where I worked.

    2. So I guess this really is "good-bye."

    3. You say you want something
      Fun and real;
      I hope you find it,
      I know you will.

      Good-bye, Carol.

    4. Cut! Good work, folks. That's a print! Carol, I thought the "dumping" scene went very well. Nice job.

    5. I agree!
      Carol, you were VERY convincing!

    6. You lifted the lines from the paper and brought the script to life, Carol. You spoke the words as though they were coming straight from the heart. Your heart.

    7. The part where you called Anonymous a "narcissistic jerk-off," I almost fell out of my chair!

    8. Yes, uh, well, THAT part wasn't actually in the script, but I think we'll leave it in the film. Are you okay with that, Carol?

    9. Carol's not here. She's in her trailer. Crying.

    10. She says to tell you she's no longer "glowing," now she's "aching."

    11. Aching? Crying? Maybe I better have a word with her agent.

      Of course it's Charlie!
      You were expecting maybe a moose?

    14. Wait a second, Charlie.
      What's that noise?
      It's coming from Carol's trailer.
      Sounds like ...

      Chelsea, even if this film isn't any good, people will come to the theater just because of the poster.

    17. Takes your breath away, doesn't it? "Me" is really something else!

      Delete
    18. Charlie? What do you mean, even if this film isn't any good? Why wouldn't it be any good?

    22. Oh for heaven's sake! Who cares about trolls and gnomes and toads?
