MEANWHILE, BACK AT THE FARM . . .

I CAN'T TELL YOU HOW LONG I'VE BEEN MESSIN' AROUND WITH THIS ONE! I HAD THE IDEA TO USE THE DIOR 'JUNON' GOWN FROM 1949, THIS BEAUTIFUL HAND BEADED ICE BLUE STUNNER, WITH A DIRTY FARM GIRL HOLDING PIGS AND CHICKENS AND OTHER NASTY BARN-YARD STUFF. THE BEAUTY OF THE DRESS IMMEDIATELY MADE ME FEEL IT HAD TO BE PAIRED WITH SOMETHING BLAH!

I DID AN ORIGINAL PASS OF IT (WHICH YOU CAN SEE BELOW) MAYBE THREE YEARS AGO, BUT I NEVER WAS TOO HAPPY WITH THE RESULTS. THEN ABOUT A YEAR AGO I DID A NEW DRAWING OF IT, AND ONLY YESTERDAY DID I FINALLY SCAN OT AND PHOTOSHOP IT INTO ALL IT'S GLORY!!! I THINK IT TURNED OUT REALLY CUTE AND WAY BETTER THEN IT'S ORIGINAL VERSION.

AND LADIES, IF YOU HAVE TO BE OUT IN THE BARN SHOVELIN' HAY AND SLOPPIN' THE PIGS, WHY NOT WEAR A COUTURE GOWN!!?
