Boodro
A
Cajun by the name of Boodro, while not a brilliant scholar, was a gifted
portrait artist.
Over a
short number of years his fame grew and people from all over the country were
coming
to the town of New Iberia to get him to paint their likenesses.
One
day a beautiful young Texas woman arrived at his house in a stretch limo and
asked
if he
would paint her in the nude.
This
being the first time anyone had made such a request to Boodro, he was a bit
perturbed,
particularly
when the woman told him that money was no object; in fact, she was willing topay
up to $10,000.
Not
wanting to get into any martial strife, Boodro asked her to wait while went into
the house
to
confer with his wife, Marie Boodro.
After
a few minutes he returned, and told her matter of factly, that it would be his
pleasure
to
paint her in the nude.
"Mais,
ma' wife says eets okay to paint in da noode but Ah have to at least
leave
ma' socks on so Ah have a place to wipe ma' brushes." |
