"Unbottled Kisses - 1950s style"

First kisses in Detroit in the mid-1950s involved playing Spin-the-Bottle. I played with this theme using an old Pepsi bottle image converted by computer to a digitized outline. The color palette is meant to evoke the 50s and the odd lipstick colors girls loved to wear. Set the mood: imagine Chuck Berry, Elvis or Buddy Holly at 45 rpm, a knotty-pine paneled "rec room", a 2-toned '53 Ford outside and all kisses of forty years ago.
