“I think it’s a wonderful likeness,” Kade said to Bridget. “Like Dale Evans with a spark of Marilyn Monroe.”
“Who are they?” Cody asked as Bridget narrowed her eyes at her son’s dad.
“They’re old-time actresses,” she told him. “And really, Kade, Dale Evans?”
He chuckled. “I couldn’t think of another country girl.”
She made a face at him, simply to stop him from staring at her the way he was. And it could have been worse, she supposed. Cody could have drawn her to look way more momish, instead of putting her in a catsuit with fringe and country boots.
“It kind of looks like Veronica Lake, too,” Kade said to Cody. “She’s another old-time actress. She had long blond hair like your mom’s, only she sometimes wore it covering one of her eyes. That helped make her famous.”
When Cody shrugged and went back to his work, Bridget asked Kade, “So what’s the deal? Are you an old-movie buff?”
“Yeah, I guess you could say that. But I’m also an old-pinup buff. When I was a teenager, I used to go into a poster shop that had tons of classic pinups lining the walls, and I got fascinated with them. The interesting thing about Veronica Lake is most of her pinups were from the shoulders up because her hair was such a hot commodity. She was small, too, like you. I don’t even think she stood five feet.”
“I’m five-three.” Bridget defended her stature, even though he wasn’t criticizing her. If anything, he was looking at her with far too much attraction in his eyes.
He said, “When I go home to visit my family, I think I’ll go see Veronica’s star in Hollywood. And Marilyn’s.” He teased her with a wink and a smile. “I probably better check out Dale’s, too, just so her feelings don’t get hurt.”
She shook her head, caught in his flirtation and trying not to let it show. “What about Roy and Trigger?”
“Trigger doesn’t have a star. Lassie and Rin Tin Tin do, though.”
Cody glanced up. “What are you guys talking about?”
Kade replied, “The Walk of Fame. The sidewalks in Hollywood that have pink-and-gold stars with famous people’s names written on them. There are some famous animals’ names on them, too. Even some of the Muppets have stars. Come to think of it, Godzilla has one, but as far as I know, he’s the only monster so far.”
