Aurora Van Davenport

Sun wanted to do a cartoon version of a 1950's blonde bombshell, most of whom were already cartoons to begin with...or wound up that way. He'd once made fat padding for a friend who did the Hope Emmerson prison matron character Evelyn Harper from "Caged" that he borrowed back thinking that if it was squished into the appropriately shaped garment in might take on just the right the bombshell qualities he was looking for. This first Aurora look was transformed into the blowsy over-the-hill saloon queen, Queenie once the concept of Aurora began to gel, as you will see on the following pages. Here Aurora is pictured in the Pyramid dressing room with The Lady Bunny, Audrey White and Hapi Phace.
