Hey There, Big Fellow!

©Delores J. Knowles 2008 -- This coy Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is my copycat entry pattered after the wonderful vintage pinups posted by artist Patty Fuller-Sturman. Patty posted one recently on AW in the classic Betty Grable over-the-shoulder come hither pose made famous in World War II. (Ok, now you no how old I am!) When I saw this shot of the Black Swan, I knew it had pinup written all over it. Sorry, Patty. LOL

;o) ......veery familiar with the Betty Grable pinup as I've seen "Run Silent, Run Deep" over a dozen times. In the movie, on the WWII American sub,...the men would kiss their fingers and then tap her rear for lluck every time they went to action stations. ;o) ....your pose here reminds me of the character Terry's pose in the openning credits of "Three's Company"!

Artist Reply: Thanks so much for the kind comment on my Black Swan image. Oh, yes, I've watched Run Silent, Run Deep and had forgotten about that scene with the photo of Grable.
