We Can Do It!

The other day I was on deadline to get an illustration out the door and I thought I was going to use an image of Rosie the Riveter so I decided to dress up like her and take a photo as an image source--and then I just got carried away. It's frickn so FUN to dress up like Rosie the Riveter--an image and a style I have always adored. The shirt I wore is an old shirt of my mother's from 1969, but I felt more like my grandmother, who didn't work in the factories, but who did other work for the war effort. She always felt a kinship to the iconic poster of Rosie showing her muscle and declaring WE CAN DO IT. So have I.

I felt so fabulous that when Graham came home and asked if I wanted to go out to dinner I said yes and didn't bother to change. I rolled up my jeans and put on some red shoes. A working girl deserves a night out every once in awhile you know?
