Description This render actually ended up being much more than just a typical render to me.
At first I thought I would make it using a play on my late sister's name, Ruby Joyce (the color red and the characters name). Yes, it's very old fashioned and southern name, she was born 1950 in Texas (she was the baby of the family for 12 years before I came along).
Somewhere in the middle of working on this, I realized how much I still missed her.
The ONLY thing in this render that is remotely like my sister is the eyes, and no fear of nudity. She had beautiful brown eyes, that were always just a bit sad.
Ruby was the family wild child. At 16 she got a job as a "Go Go Dancer". Then was married not long after that, I was only 4 at the time so I don't remember it well, but they said it was just so she could get out of the house. That marriage didn't last long. Somewhere along the line, she vanished. We had no idea of where she was. This went on for a couple of years. She'd call every so often to say she was alive, but never mentioned where she was. She finally showed up in the Autumn of 1970, with a new husband she met down at the Gulf of Mexico. All she ever said was she traveled the States some. She had a rough short marriage, and this time she had a son.
Her usual way of making money involved either dancing (exotic as they call it now) finding a sugar daddy (never had a shortage of them) or occasionally waiting tables. She had a sex appeal about her that I compare to the like of Marlyn Monroe. She drew men to her like flies to honey. She moved to North Carolina where our brother in the Marines was stationed. She again danced and also was a "lady of the night". She had a fiance, and when he ended it, she ask Dana to marry her. Dana was a friend and her sons sometime babysitter. Needless to say he was hopeless in love with her, and only 3 years her junior, he said yes, only to spend their wedding night in the hospital because she took an overdose of pills. She lived, they were married for 15 years and had a daughter. Ruby always had some one on the side. Sometime she still danced for a living, almost got me into it too, but I ended up not doing it.
I loved my sister even with her faults. We looked enough a like that even with the age difference some thought we were twins (she looked younger, and I looked older). I, alas, never had her sex appeal. She took her on life March 3 1989. By the way Dana stuck with her till the end. and I still miss her.
Sorry for all of that, but I feel better for telling it.

AND PS I forgot to mention Not long after her passing my husband and I was watch that famous documentary about Woodstock. Low and behold! There was Ruby Joyce, in the crowd during a camera pan, passing a "cigarette" to someone. NOW we know where she was for a while she was traveling the states.

Thank you all for your time, and if you took the time to read all of that double thanks.

Margie, "Ruby Joyce" is absolutely fabulous; her eyes so sad yet her face is nothing but pure beauty. As are your memories of your sister which are likewise sad but yet so beautiful at the same time. So touching... thank you for sharing.

Thank you John.
I loved my sister deeply, and still miss her, but I'm still not for sure I've forgiven her for leaving the way she did. <3

I was 5 at Woodstock, don't recall much except noise rain and mud... and being happy. Sorry for the loss of your sister, but the tale is moving even to an old grunt. Sounds like she lived her life to the fullest that she could.

5 years + mud = happy. Well at least in my experience.
Yes, she did have a very full life.
