Robbery at the Lingerie Boutique

When I saw that the Illustration Friday theme for this week was Mischief, I was happy because I had already started this drawing. There's plenty of mischief going on here, and lingerie itself seems to be all about mischief. It got to be pretty fun when I decided to add the Channel 5 Eye Witness News Team. You can click on the image for a bigger version.

I thought I was doing pretty well drawing bras, but then I saw Julie's art bra on her HighFiberContent blog. I guess I need to get more into embellishment if I'm going to be really Hot, Hot, Hot.

I had trouble naming the lingerie store. Lingerie Boutique sounds a little too tame. Tried Lingerie Land but it sounded too much like a miniature golf park, but hey wouldn't that be a fun one?! Tried to think of a spoof on Victoria Secret (which where by the way is where I got my models for my mannequins) but couldn't. Any ideas?

How about an alliteration: Lingering Lingerie or Languishing Lingerie. Sorry, I didn't get much sleep last night ;-)

How about "Bra-La Land"? And I think the news team should be Chanel #5...heehee

Ha Ha, good one Jules. Or, how about:

Newsflash! Irresistible Lingerie uncovered by Bubba's Peek-a-Boo Bandits. Chanel #5 on the scene covering everything. No negligee left unturned. Full support from local police department. Uplifting News Reveals: Bubba's Peek-a-Boo Bandits caught sheerly by coincidence while cross-dressing at a local dance club. The "Thong Song" came on. You'll never guess what happened next. ;)

"Bra-La Land" is too funny Jules LOL!

Pam, what does the sign on the dressing room door say? Knowing you, it's something witty. Love the illo.

I was going to write a little news story to go along with the quilt, but Maggie out did me. Her puns are hiliarious!

The sign on the dressing room says "no more than 3 items allowed in dressing room" Who ever pays attention to those signs?! If you look closely, PaMdora has more than 3 things in the room already.

I just couldn't help myself, your illustration is outrageous! I can't wait to see the finished quilt. Let me know where and when this will be in a show, maybe I can get there to see it. Of course, if it is in Europe I am a little booked at the moment!
