"The Great Norma Desmond"

When you think "Drama Queen", what image comes to mind? For me, it is the character Norma Desmond, played by Gloria Swanson in the 1950 film noir Sunset Boulevard. I did two SVGs, one of Gloria Swanson playing Norma Desmond, and my version of the movie poster, which reflects more of the molting Cockatoo, bad drag queen, Carol Burnett take on Norma Desmond, which is hilarious! I think both would make for great t-shirt designs for the overly dramatic.
Here's Carol Burnett playing Norma:

Oh I love these! I think I especially love the lower one, and yes they would make fabulous t-shirts but they probably wouldn't be well received as gifts by those who should have one…
Ha! True! My mother has a similar look sometimes only with her finger pointed…doubt she would appreciate it if I bought her a t-shirt of this. Thank you! BTW, how's the knee and tib/fib?
Absolutely great. I can't even wrap words around it but I will when I get done with the insane idea I had to answer all the QaR's for a month (what was I thinking?).
Two days after surgery I was running around like a normal person, albeit a normal person who was pretty sore at the end of the day, and now I'm completely fine, sutures out on Tuesday and then back to work. I would have gone back to work much sooner except that my job is very physical.
The difference with the hardware removed is night and day. Worth every penny and knowing the difference now, I'm so grateful this opportunity presented itself.
I can see a little of my mother in the top picture.
So glad to hear your pain free and it seems like your recovery time was short too, which is such a blessing! Thank you for sharing that with me, since in doing so, I feel more confident about removing mine if I need or decide to. Love, hugs and blessings!
