my 'porchret'

The Adorable Six-Year-Old Niece launched her own start-up this past weekend. Check out what she's shilling:

Portraits for Sale: 50 Cents

In case you can't read her first-grade level handwriting and spelling, it's "Portraits for Sale. 50 Cents."

Reasonable rates, right? Naturally, I bought a few of them. Actually, I didn't even have to commission the drawings since they were waiting for me when I arrived at her house on Saturday. The drawings were intended to be a gift but once I discovered the above sign, I happily forked over the cash. Far be it from to contribute to the further starvation of artists.

Unfortunately sales weren't too good on her first day of business. Not much foot traffic in front of her "store," you see. I asked my niece if anyone walked by and she replied, "Yes, one lady did. But she read the sign and just kept on walking." The niece shrugged her shoulders and seemed incredulous that someone would pass up such a bargain. I silently seethed.

Lady, whoever you are, kindly suck my dick. Not only are you a bitch but you're missing out on a masterpiece like this:

I think the niece really captured my essence, no? I had a few questions about the Picasso-like nose but as a sensitive artiste myself, I really can't quibble with her creative choices.

I'm representing the budding artist should any of you want to take her up on her reasonable sitting fee.
