She's actually a piece of "sculpture" that belonged to my grandfather,
and she's the only keepsake I have of him. She's holding up an ashtray,
of all things. She used to stand next to his favorite chair in the
living room of his farmhouse back in Ohio.

She's lost most of her patina, and I'm afraid Antiques Roadshow would
probably scoff if I ever brought her in. But she's special to me!

Besides, she may be as close as I'll ever come to having a model who's
willing to pose nude!
