For Halloween this year I was my female idol
LORETTA LYNN!
It came about after I bought this 1970's dress for 50 cents at a church rummage sale last November. It reminded me of the type of dress Loretta wore while performing during that time period.
I noticed she does a lot of tree leaning for photos....
and looking off in the distance, so I did the same!
I also decorated our 2 string acoustic guitar into hers.
I made the decorative guitar piece from a scrap of black paper and painted the design with acrylic paint. The letters are stickers I have had forever.
We took these photos earlier in the day before going to a Halloween function. I then realized I really didn't want to be touting the bulky guitar around town. But I needed a prop or I would just look like a 1973 bridesmaid wedding extra.
Then inspiration hit me!
Loretta was the spokes person for Crisco during part of the 70's through the 80's.
So I quickly made a crisco container and it could also double as my purse!
The container is actually for Oscar Mayer Lard from the 50's but I turned the container around, slapped some vinyl sticker letters on it and cut the pie image from one of my many Jiffy Pie crust boxes, which I double sided taped it on the bucket.
I thought I had it nailed. When I got to the event, I asked my friend if she knew who I was. She says after a long pause...."Betty Crocker?"
Yep! Betty Loretta Lynn Crocker!

I think you look smashing, Mary! I love Loretta Lynn, too!
Thanks Jenn! I have been growing my hair out for 6 months but it still was not as long or big as Loretta's!
