Today, on Saturday, I went out to letter this dude's Kenworth. I got it all layed out and ready to go (paintmask). About this time I have to pee. I don't like using people's restrooms, so I always make up the excuse of "I'm going to Starbucks to get a mocha". Well, his neighbor hears and says' Oh, you're going to Starbucks? Here, I'll buy and you can bring me a mocha too. Then he yells to his wife, "Hey,she's going to Starbucks, do you want something?" Ya da ya da Ya Da, he hands me a twenty, and off I go to Starbucks. Ahhhhhhh!!!!!

Yup, Alicia, it is the bane of every sign chick's existance...to whiz hovered over the seat in a nasty (possibly with a peephole cut) men's room, to hold it till your back teeth are floating, or to find a graceful way out. You managed a neat excuse! Good thing you didn't say you needed a DQ, it would have been hard to carry back a take-out from there. I hope you have a wonderful birthday, too. Love.....Jill

The woman who originally designed the Mudflap girl was Flo Mills AKA Annie Green Springs. She was a truck letterer from the Whittier Ca area. Back in the day she striped a car that Clark Cable had brought for Carol Lumbard.

Another signature of Flo was the hindlegs of a lady, kicking, painted to look as if she was lodged in window of sleeper and ballon announced, "Help"...I'm sure some of you have seen this on trucks across this country...
