Cherry Cola Confidence
This is Darlene. In 1964, she sold costume jewelry by day and served justice by night—her own twisted version of it, anyway. With a beehive as high as her body count and lipstick as dark as her secrets, Darlene wasn’t someone you crossed twice. The rumor in town was that her ex-fiancé vanished after calling her “high-strung“; one too many times. She told the police she hadn’t seen him since he skipped town... while sipping a cherry cola and filing her nails. This portrait captures her mid-glare—the look right before she decides whether you’re walking away... or being buried under the rose bushes.
