Looks like a peach right? Tastes like one too her father-in-law said lol. The metal plate was planned for the base. Magnets embedded into her shoes. I would put Alabama away for five months before starting on the base.
Four images in full body shots of the miniature statue fully dressed carrying pink purse without sunglasses
I didn't have any ideas at the time what to do for a base. All I knew was it had to be themed around either the cupid tattoo or 'You're So Cool' napkin. I just let that swirl and fester in my head while I got started on KING CONAN.

The purse is actually two separate parts. I had planned to make it openable with more accessories: her wallet, marlboro lights pack, and lots of sweet & low packets.
One image showing full body shot of miniature statue standing on metal plate and two close up images of white square top base with mini legs
Once King Conan was completed and a week to clear my head of crushing enemies and hearing lamentations of their women, I went back to the base designing the tiny legs as heels.
Two extreme close up images of the miniature pink purse on its side with two work in progress stone clay pieces of a swiss army knife corkscrew and toy lizard
It was either the Smith & Wesson she used to blow away Dimes who shot Clarence, or the swiss army knife corkscrew used to bring down Virgil.
Two images in a close up of the finished base with tan color top with black line art of a heart and tiny swiss army knife corkscrew in a pool of blood attached to a mini yellow dinosaur at the mouth
The top coat of the base was painted in the tan Beverly Ambassador Hotel napkin where the words, 'You're So Cool!' was inscribed by Alabama. See the finished piece--link below.
