A Challenge

My friend Joan sent me another picture along with a challenge. She'd read my posting on the bats cartoon and wondered if I could paint a word picture of this one as well. I have to say, however, that while this picture may not require a thousand words, the picture is definitely better than them.


The text mimics a MasterCard ad:

This is the new Miss Kentucky.
The picture that will stay with her for the rest of her life:

Make-up and hair style ................... $500
New dress for the show ...................$700
Giant stuffed bear .........................$300

(Insert picture:

It shows our beauty queen on stage, spotlights in the background, holding a giant stuffed bear which is clad only in a purple t-shirt. Her top arm is behind the bear, out of sight, gripping it firmly, one presumes. The other one supports it from beneath, between its legs. The microphone also in her hand is, unfortunately, undeniably phallic as well as cordless. The camera angle is ... strategic. The mike appears to be part of the bear and a convenient handle to grip him with.)


Not knowing how to hold the bear with a microphone in her hand .....
Priceless!
