Rosemary likes to sing. From a relatively young age she sang in choir or was in children's theater. While music was not her major in college, dance and business were, she did continuing singing and did take some voice classes.
After she graduated and before her dancing and modeling career took off Rosemary even had a short stint as club singer, but she quickly decided it was not the life for her. But to this day she still likes to sing. This was one of those moments.
For folks either too young or have never heard of the Pretenders they had a giant hit in the late 70's called "Brass in pocket" which still gets a fair bit of airtime. One night in a dream Rosemary and I were listening to the radio in the kitchen and the song came on. While I and several other people were standing there Rosemary picked up a wooden spoon and started singing along while doing this little performance. It was one of the songs she did covers of during her short stint as a club singer.
For folks who've never heard the song or want to listen to it while looking at the pretty skunk here is a link http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2djcNjNkoJI The video does not stream well but the audio seems to play ok.

I love that song and The Pretenders is such a great band. One of the groups of the 80s. I love the playfulness in these sketches. The idea of singing into a wooden spoon while in the kitchen as one hears a song they enjoy in the background is just amusingly fun. Something I'm sure any number of us has been prone to do at one time or another.
All four sketches look wonderful and I particularly like the pose on the top left one in addition to the close-up at the bottom.

Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my sidestep
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my-my imagination
Oh
Cos I'm gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special (Special)
So special (Special)
I gotta have some of your attention
Give it to me
