The flirting dog was giving his best song and stand routine.
It split her into, how her boy blue fell for it each time.
Her Mother was right, "Never date a boy who wears his shirt unbutton!"
Without too much emotion, she glanced sideways and gave her best shot to seduce him, by lifting her dress higher.
He knew he didn't fool her...with his downcast eyes he caressed the dog.. his mind wandered right up her dress.
Some things never change.

"Never date a boy who wears his shirt unbutton!"
When good girls fall for bad boys, the story is timeless. What a fun take on the picture.

Oh Corey, you always make me laugh! Have you passed on that advice - never date a boy who wears his shirt unbuttoned - to your daughter? I'd add Never date a boy whose jeans hang around his knees, too!

Indeed, some things never change. Very funny. This brought a broad smile to my face :)

This gives me a chuckle - expecially the part about her being split in two.
Thanks for the light-hearted laugh.
Smiles, Cat

Hi Corey:
You astound me and that's no easy feat my friend.
I never know what I'm going to find when I come to visit.
Have a great Holiday,
Maggie

Haha *blush* a little bit risque this morning :) Imaginative as usual. So funny, flirting is an art, you forgot the part where she is slowly edging her left hand towards him.

Flirting is by far one of the most underated and misconstrued pursuits. Flirt with abandon, I say!

Ohh, I like that, "never date a boy who wears his shirt unbutton!"... take care, gracia
Posted by: gracia | 27 June 2006 at 05:04 PM
i love how you create the story behind the painting. usually a painting like this would not engage me much, for all it's formal clothing... but you have made me enjoy it's subtle intrigue and want to continue the story. thank youo!
