Inspiration Avenue Weekly Challenge

 Diva

The topic at Inspiration Avenue this week:

Diva

Brought to us by Hettienne of Her Grace.

An exciting theme!

I set out to draw what I think of as a Diva,

a woman 

spoiled

fashionable

wealthy

having a certain grace

plus an adoring entourage

and unapproachable by mere mortals! 

After I'd finished her, I realized my diva was none other than

that goddess from my childhood days, the girl/woman

who still resides in girlish bedrooms today:

None other than . . .

If they were not covered by that flowing evening gown,

you would see her feet are molded permanently

into the shape of stiletto heels.

I don't know if Barbie ever had the hairstyle above,

but she looks remarkably similar to my bubble-haired redhead Barbie 

after my little brother got hold of her.

Okay, now I'm dating myself :)

This was maybe 1964?

As I was looking for an image of my

bubble haired Barbie,

I had to laugh when I found a pic

of Barbie's bathroom scale:

Set permanently at 110 pounds :)

One thing that has held true:

After all these years, Barbie has never ever gained a pound!

Just like a true diva.

Visit Inspiration Avenue this week to see

the wonderful Diva entries.

Stop back to IA on Sunday and they
