My buddy and I got suckered into buying two ludicrous outfits at Chess King back in 1984, when the two girls working there, who both looked a lot like the woman in that sleigh, flirted with us and played on our vanity when we tried them on. We both looked like total fools. Worn once, thrown away. 60+ dollars each wasted. Lesson learned!

Nice painting, though.
