Cheesecake Store

What I had in mind when I made this card was a pantry or warehouse where King Xerxes stored his extra virgins. Boy, this idea made me mad!

I started with a background which is a map of Africa/Asia...the Middle East area of the world. Then I found a bunch of girls’ faces of different races and ethnicities to represent the scope of Xerxes’ power…and audacity. Esther’s face (from another card) is near the center as her beauty outshines the rest. You may spot one or two of your favorite TV chefs in my group!

For you youngsters, the slang definition of cheesecake, according to Funk & Wagnalls, is “a photograph featuring a pretty girl’s legs and figure”. I broadened the definition a bit and personified it to mean the actual girls who walked around on the pretty legs with the pretty figures.

They all look so happy, don’t they? All except Esther…what might she be thinking?…"I wonder what they know that they’re not telling me?”
