Did I imagine it?

[My Good Babushka]

I thought I remembered seeing a picture of a young Obama in one of those 1920s style flat topped straw hats, I think he might have been smoking. Maybe I made it up in my imagination, but I thought it would be a cool portrait to paint. If anyone knows what I'm talking about and has a link, I would be grateful.

1. Someone else will have to answer your question.

I'm interested in why you changed your username (House of Kewpie was always eye-catching).

2. That's easy

I used to have an online store called House of Kewpie, then I got threatened with a lawsuit by importers of kewpie dolls (I thought kewpie was public domain). Now I have a new online store called My Good Babushka, which I named for my grandma, and those things she wore on her head.

5. Shit! The Russian Babushka Mafia are far worse than the Kewpie Kollektiv!

Run! :scared:

;) Sorry to hear that. I'm glad that you're still keeping your store open. Thanks for the answer, it IS an interesting story!

Edit: I appreciate your artistry in the common vowel tone in both Good and Babushka!

7. That's a *great* gallery of shots!

Is it bad that I think he was (and is?) pretty damn hot? :rofl:
