From Vikki:
“I saw that ugly boy at a distance. He had a stick and was in the process of picking up dog poo with it. He turned and ran toward me. The thought of dog poo on my dress was more than I could stand and my Fathers words came back to me… “

Thanks Lisa. Do you know the kids on The Little Rascals were 4 to 6 years old!? They worked tremendous hours. Thank God that’s not allowed anymore.

THIS belongs to the series you have been developing. Does it get any BETTER? I knew it was the little Rascals! Not sure if that makes me old or…..breaking my arm patting myself on the back.

Thanks Sonya. That little girl just had a face like a cherub. She disappeared off the Hollywood scene post the show. Her name was Marianne Edwards and again only 4 when she started. Retired at the age of 7. lol

Oh I used to LOVE the Little Rascals! I love this painting Vikki it would make a fantastic card – I can see it in all the shops …..beautiful!

Ahhhh, Spanky. Used to love watching “Our Gang”.
Certainly, you have the knack for doing pictures that nostalgically recall celluloid moments.
This one, of course, another winner!

Hi Rusty.
I know what you mean. It was such a romantic era and seemingly easier age to live in.

Hi Fanny,
That’s an excellent idea. I think I may offer it as a gift card also.
I used to watch the re-runs of the Little Rascals when I was a child also. What a legacy all those actors have.

Hi William- Thanks.
I just realized I’m still logged in as the ‘host’. You’d think it would respect my gender and at least call me the hostess. Or the Queen bee. Better yet- the ‘Milk Bath Queen!”

I was sure that was me and whatever her name was, all those years ago. Apparently not. Such a relief. Heartwarming. A little “Norman Rockwell” only better. Love it Vikki. Love all your work.

Just an after thought, are you really offering milk baths and how much do you charge. Or, if I have to ask does that mean I can’t afford it?

Hi Ray-
Thanks. You goof ball. Did you like running after girls with dog poo on a stick?
You’ll have to ask my ‘pardner’ William on the other score. He’s the king of the Milk Bath.
Hi Jfay- Thanks sweet girl. I loved your submision forthis theme. Incredible work in wax.
