Betty Page girl
So, I found out tonight that the Derby night club closed (officially) as of 1/31/09, which made me really sad. Admittedly, I haven't been there myself in forever, but I loved the history and vibe of the place . I tried to do a drawing of some swing dancers to commemorate it, but I really couldn't pull it off, so then I was like "cute girl in swing dance era clothes!" I think the dress is about right, but the Betty Page hair is probably a bit later, style wise, sooo... it's just ended up being a random cute Betty Page like girl.

Amusingly enough, wikipedia says that someone bought the rights to the Brown Derby concept and opened up a restaurant in Albany NY.
I think I may have to try it someday. It's only 90 minutes away...
Great Drawing, too! I like the cartoony style
