Recently, one of my super-talented artist friends painted a portrait of Smores, my OG queen Beyonce guinea pig. My friend conveyed to me beforehand that she was attempting to make the painting's motif be "Smores as she saw herself. " I dug this idea, because I am 90 percent sure Smores doesn't see herself as a guinea pig. Maybe not a human, but I could very well see her imagining herself as a beagle. Actually, now that I have typed that, I realize Smores and Snoopy have a lot in common. But without further ado, here is the painting my very talented friend created - and I couldn't be happier with how this came out. Like, this IS Smores. Even my Mom called me to say "That's your guinea pig all right." (For context, Smores literally broke out of my apartment around Christmas. I still blame my Mom for this.) Credit goes to Shannon Youso for this delight. As you can see, Smores imagines herself as an astronaut, a bandit, and an Indiana Smore
