The Pink Purse, Oil, 16 x 16", was inspired by my very own pink purse and love of lipstick. I am now showing this piece throughout January 2012 at theartleague.org 

If you know a girly girl, then this is for you.

The Rosy Spoonbill: Are Those Lips Real?

Dear Imaginary Zoo Goers,

AS the writer of a very influential blog, (cough) I send myself on writing assignments to interview the residents of many different locales.

This locale happens to be the Amazonia exhibit at the Washington National Zoo.

Me:  Hey, Rosy Spoonbill. Are those lips real?
RS:   No, actually, (giggle) they are from having my lips injected with collagen. I am auditioning for a role on the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. I see these kissers as my golden ticket.

Me:   Thought so. They look just like Taylor's on that show. You should fit right in. But I bet your lipstick expenses are a doozy.

Thus concludes another fascinating bird-brained interview.

Dear Imaginary Friends,

If you are a lady friend, then you can probably appreciate this. Don't you just love girl stuff?? Don't you love buying new purses, shoes and clothes every spring in the brightest pastels that your eyeballs can bear? I just love being a girl, and gazing at lipstick colors, lined up expectantly, as if saying, Choose Me! in every drug store and department store.

When I was little, Easter meant two good things: No more deprivations due to Lent, and getting a new dress.

And yes, there was chocolate, and Jesus saving me, too. All in all, Easter is a most excellent holiday!
Your Imaginary Friend,

Patsie
