Illustration Friday--Wide and Worry

Took me awhile to get to this, but last week when I saw the topic, the first thing to pop into my head was the song "Queen of my Double Wide Trailer" by Sammy Kershaw.  I love that song but haven't heard it forever, so I don't know why it occurred to me.  Must be all the episodes of "Big Redneck Wedding" I've been watching lately (serious guilty pleasure!).   And of course I missed the "wide" week, but this still fits into the topic "worry" and here's why:

I hope nobody thinks I'm poking fun at people who live in trailers because that's not the intention.  I've lived in a trailer.  My mom's lived in one.  My brother owns one.  And as for the tacky decor, growing up in the rural midwest, you see it everywhere so it's more nostalgic than anything.  After all, there's a place about five blocks from me that has a leaning cowboy.  My mom would kill for the owl lamp.  Sexy lady mudflaps are still seen occasionally (as are the Yosemite Sam mudflaps).  When I was in college, I wanted to steal one of the old lady gardening butts, but always lost the nerve.  Buying one was not an option; only in theft would it be cool to dorm room dwellers, just like stolen stop signs and construction cones.  And I hate to say it, but my husband does own a set of deer antlers (he didn't shoot it, but thought it would be funny to have a set).

So, here it is in all its glory (oh, and it will be at www.lisaloo77.etsy.com):
