Queen for a Day

This “Queen for a Day” was inspired by the 1945 TV show.  Desperate housewives with sob stories were featured on the show and told their heart-wrenching tales.  Then the audience voted to choose the Queen for a Day.  I tried to style her in her clean up gear (apron and gingham and cleaning gloves) and kept in mind the mindset of society’s and TV’s expectations for housewives, even back then.  Perfection in looks/beauty, raising a family, cleaning, cooking…. the list goes on!  I think of families today who do it all and work outside of the home.  I think there is a breaking point at some time for all of the expectations, then and now.
