When Artemis won the local Miss Tropical Foliage contest, her mother told her, “That’s why I named you after a goddess; I always knew you’d be beautiful.” Artemis soon took to wearing her costume everywhere, and men were always asking if they could take her picture. She was sure she’d be discovered and sent off to Hollywood, and when it didn’t happen her mother told her it was because she’d “given away the cow for free.”
It was years before Artemis learned what that phrase meant, but meanwhile, at her mother’s insistence, she started wearing clothes that covered and disguised her shapely figure. She refused, however, any footwear but sandals, believing that her feet were too beautiful to hide. She never reigned in her urge to strike a pose upon command, worships Charo, and can still walk into a bar and really rip things up.
