Marylin Monroe Is Huge And So Is Kissing Jennie

[Bob Boze Bell]

July 25, 2012

    My aunt and uncle Claudia and Glenn Bell drove over to Palm Springs this morning to take a gander at the new Marylin Monroe statue. Big puppy, no?

   Switched gears this morning and whipped out a scratchboard of Kissing Jennie before I went into work. Sorry to say, I'm a little rusty.

Yes, she's holding a glass eye (if you read True West you know why).

Spent the afternoon in the Beast, going over video of our new TV show Outrageous Arizona. So far, looks very good but I need to finish a bunch of ambitious paintings in the next two weeks. We're expecting big crowds at the premiere. Gee, I wonder what old Bach has to say about this?

"You don't tell the quality of a master by the size of his crowds."

  A friend and I were discussing this "work of art" a few days ago.Southern Ca.lets it's historic artifacts crumble into dust or get swept away by greedy developers but they always seem to muster resources for this sort of nonsense, and it is always gratifying to see the local mouth breathers standing between the legs making salacious comments.This place need a colonic!

Well put . . . not enough money for schools, parks, preserving the worth while element of your states history . . . but now the new idiot in office ( worse that the last idiot that was in office - - who wasn't too bad ) .. . with his great plan to ship water down south with a tunnel costing billions and billions of water . . . . . DAMN . . .  :(

ps.  and to spend more Billions on a "high speed" rail line . . . even more DAMN !   :(

Re Marilyn Monroe statue:

Why, man, she doth bestride the public imagination

Like a Colossus, and we petty men

Walk under her huge legs and peep about

While leading our anonymous existences.

 

---paraphrased from William Shakespeare's Julius Caesar ... Cassius to Brutus

That's a pretty sweet poach, my man.

Well said, Wolfgang.  We have gotten to the point that we must get someplace immediately if not sooner!  If I want to go to San Francisco I will go north on Interstate 5 or go north on old Highway 101 and enjoy the scenery and the sites.

I still think she's AWESOME!
