I drove by there recently and was wondering how long it had been there. They did a wonderful job using the roof like that.

Yep, we've driven by a few times. It hasn't been up too long, and I'm sure the complaints will start rolling in now that it's starting to get more media coverage.

Tacky as all heck! lol

I wonder where he got that idea? Reminds me of the vintage murals the owners of auto body shops used to paint on the sides of their businesses in the 1940's, 50's and 60's.

North of Seattle that you can see from I-5? Where is it Mike?

 

[Mike in Seattle]

Going north on I-5, it's along the exit for 65th - so the house is actually somewhere about 50th/55th. Paul's been driving past it daily heading up to the theatre or pre-term staff meetings at school, and I've run a few errands up that way as well.

 

[Benny Holiday]

Just as well he painted Bettie Page and not Jayne Mansfield!lol

Thanks Mike, I am curious to take a drive and check out in real life.

It would be interesting if on the other side of the house there was the back pose.

That is pretty tacky, & although I wouldn't do it on my house...its an expression of art.

I just checked out this HBO movie last weekend called "The Notorious Bettie Page" & its about her life. I enjoyed it & thought it was well done...anyone else seen it?
