Last year I saw this pastel painting at the flea market but I thought they were asking too much for her. I went the next day and still the same price. I went again, this time in a disguise, and STILL the guy wouldn't budge, even after I explained that my husband was going to read Tolstoy out loud to me for a week if I didn't come home with it. Didn't impress him, he didn't budge at all. She was worth it - every bedroom should have a bit of naked sensibility about it.
It came in this dirty frame and a few days ago I decided that it needed a few coats of bright white paint. I hung it in our bedroom which is pale aqual and still in design peril, but she looks smashing.
Hot! I bet you get a lot of clicks off that RSS feed...

Love it! I have a naked chick picture in my bedroom. My fiance was a bit "WTF??" about it when I suggested we put it up. It's a great black and white (sepia toned) photo from the early 20s and it was the Christmas card from the Chateau Marmont hotel in LA a few years ago. I love it.
