De Lempicka and The Queen
Waiting for my #3 at longtime favorite lunch/dinner/2am spot Espresso's I got bored and walked to the bus stop across the street, where I was sure I'd find a copy of the poorly-copyedited Metro. Instead I got an outdated copy of the Boston Phoenix, returned to my restaurant booth, and extracted the weekly paper's arts section.
What I saw was this--Tamara de Lempicka's "Young Girl With Gloves"--gracing the cover. Clicky clicky, and see how this Polish-Russian-Parisian artist mechanizes and eroticizes her green-dress-and-gloves wearing heroine. A stranger to both de Lempicka and her work, I was a little surprised when the internet told me she was the "goddess of the automobile age," and perhaps the most famous [female] art deco painter of all time. I guess I've been missing out. No worries; she's be part of the MFA's Art Deco exhibit, which opened yesterday. By the way, the MFA is having its last cocktail part of the summer this Friday evening; let's go. Oh, and Taschen (German art publisher) has this neat little de Lempicka book, which I of course want.
Second development: I bought a queen-sized mattress today. My bed now occupies 1/4 of the surface area of my bedroom/office. It's damn big, and I'm going to like it a lot. Much more than my Williamsburg twin, with less than three feet of headroom.
Half development: typing this and listening to my Curtis Mayfield, I think an art deco-styled loungey bar that played rare 60's and 70's soul-funk would be the coolest looking, sounding, and feeling environment on earth. Send me some of your trust fund money so I can set this place up.

she has perfect B cups. Also, I find the artist captures the common female trait of having the left boob slightly larger than the right one.
for a sexy girl, she's sure not sexy!
...i bet she huffed ether moments before that painting was painted.
where were you, fuckabilly?

First of all, her left arm is way to big for her body... If my arm were half the size of my torso, I would start to worry. Also, she may be hiding under that hat, but she could rip your head off with that left hand. Look at it!! scary...
so you're buying into my mechanization line of reasoning. well, i like ladies who are a little scary.
