Day 9

This is one of my favorite pictures. This was made by Jules Erbit, who was a Hungarian painter. He did mostly pin-ups, and while a lot of them look like vintage Coca-Cola ads, I loved this one the first time I ever saw it.

I wanted to get a print of it, but I can't even find the name of the picture, so I borrowed my friend's and took it to a print shop. So this is just a color copy of a print, but it looks pretty good (you can't tell because I've been taking these with my Nintendo DSi, so they're all fuzzy).

This picture looks like 1940's movie-love to me with the beautiful girl on the balcony, in a satin dress, posing for a picture on a railing. Her expression is just pure happiness.

In a totally unrelated story, opposite-side-of-the-world unrelated, my first customer of the day was a guy I dated my first year of college, and the district manager was watching me (routine audit, nothing bad). I was blushing the whole time, so the district manager teased me by asking if I had a crush on him or something. It's not like I could respond with "no sir, but that guy sure does know what my vagina looks like." So I just lied and said that he's a friend of a friend, and I'm embarrassed that I forgot his name.
