Nothing funny to say here. A detail from this picture was used as the cover for The Lazy Cowgirls’ A Little Sex and Death. I love the power and clarity of this image. Not PC but who cares!
If you want to see more take a surf from the link above. Great stuff!

Walking in high heels isn’t easy? What can I say? I clipped this one because it is so iconic. This feels like the book cover that launched a thousand movie posters.

The IRS office must be really hurting for help. The guy behind her looks like death warmed over. I’d be on the lookout for a spider that can spin a web strong enough to catch a file folder.
