My buddy had a paper route. He asked me to join him collecting at a certain house. I thought nothing of it and tagged along. Two 13 year olds on bikes in the evening headed out in the neighborhood circa 1950. Knocked on the door and I swear that lady dressed like that in the painting paid him for the news papers.
He just laughed and said she was his favorite customer….
Ever get that feeling that you’ve walked into a room to get something and suddenly you completely forgot what you came for. Esmerelda had done just that. She knew she had forgotten something, but she just couldn’t put her finger on it.
“Doggone it! You get into one of these paintings just trying to have a good time and most of your clothes fall off and what doesn’t fall off gets itchy!”
“Hey look me over, lend me an ear / Fresh out of clover, mortgage up to here / Don’t pass the plate folks, don’t pass the cup / I figure whenever you’re down and out, the only way is up / And I’ll be up like a rosebud high on the vine /Don’t thumb your nose, but take a tip from mine / I’m a little bit short of the elbow room, so let me get me some / And look out world, here I come!” From Wildcat: Book by N. Richard Nash; Music by Cy Coleman, Lyrics by Caroline Leigh (1960).
When I was between 8 and 12, I saw a lot of afternoon nudity when I sold newspapers door to door some afternoons at motels. No females though, just angry men. Hey, if your car is out front, I’m knocking! I did sell quite a few that way so I kept it up.
As a young bill collector, the closest I ever came to that was an attractive women who hadn’t changed out of her bikini upon returning from the apartment pool. When I told that to the boss, he took over handling that account. Oddly, I don’t believe she was ever again overdue on her account now that I think about it.
This painting is titled “The Crack of Dawn”. After this painting became a sensation, the artist, Herbert Draper, was forever after known as “That Damned Prick Tease!”
