That is cruel. Looks more like me! Alicia is beautiful and a jab at her is not called for. Mind your manners, please.

Preston, He was making reference to the Mud Flap Girl Icon. I think Alicia was the originator of it.

The originator of the "Mudflap Girl" was Flo "Annie Green Springs" Miller. She was a signpainter out of "Shakey Town, So. Cal. She told me the Mudflap girl is supposed to be jus a cute girl, like your daughter or sister. And if anyone was to think it is nasty, that is because they have nasty in their brains. Flo, just like many others, was never compensated for her "Logo". A few years after she passed, I started using the Mudflap girl, my version with a sombrero, in my logo, mostly because Flo showed me a woman can be a sign painter as well. On her business card it read, "Save some dough and go with Flo". Patrick Smith told me me got one of his frist truck lettering jobs from Flo. She had started a job, got mad at the guy and left. Only one truck door was done. So he called Patrick to please come over and finish it.
