... from Sybil Bruncheon's "My Merry Memoirs"... In The Hood... or on it...

...It was in 1922, that the nice people at the Duesenberg motor company asked me to model for their lovely hood ornaments... I was to represent the Greek goddess of "Speed"! According to Bullfinch or was it Edith Hamilton?... whatever.... the goddess of "Speed" was named Methamfitriss!... or Podiatrixie!... or Quixi-tina.. something like that! And I had to model completely nude, which wasn't too disturbing... after all, I had modeled for public fountains, war medals for valor, and French playing cards! It was the 25 guys they had hanging around while I was being photographed... and the man renting the binoculars. That and the popcorn seller is where I finally drew the line... but they paid me an extra thirty bucks, so what could I say?... besides they told me my eyes would light up at night! What self-respecting star would turn up their nose at an offer like THAT????....(Jeeesh! Those wings itched!!)...
