"Dimestore Cowgirl"

She walked in off of the dusty street, and the bustle in the store stilled.

"We're not looking for any trouble here, lady" the skinny man behind the counter whined.

She replied, "Just give me a pack of Lucky Strikes and nobody gets hurt."

The sketch. This is one of my favorites so far.



This is the photo that inspired "Dimestore Cowgirl". It is from a malloween party my friends throw in Little Rock (Halloween in March). You have to come dressed up, or you can't stay for the party. Some of the attendees had the most elaborate costumes, which is pretty hard to manage considering it is in March. You can't see them, but she was wearing the coolest little red cowboy boots. I just loved her costume so much!



The invite to malloween. The catgirl on the right made a perfect reproduction of Catwoman from the movie. She watched it frame by frame and every stitch, patch, and fray is exactly the way the movie's costume was. She made it piece by piece from a vinyl cloth ---- I helped her out of it, and it was like peeling a slimy fish out of a vacuum seeled plastic bag, but you have to suffer to look awesome, right? The photocopy really doesn't do it justice. It was awesome.
