Pinky usually doesn't show his perfect physique in public. But for his patient parishioners, nothing short of a delightful pose will do. By the way, Pinky did have a brief career as a nude model. He worked for a lovely elderly lady who claimed to be an actual student of Nikolaides (ho-hum). Her students were only somewhat less elderly watercolor artists who enjoyed getting together and looking at lithe unrobed young men and women--then enjoyed eating donuts with self-same robed men and women during the morning break. It was a bit embarrassing for Pinky to pose on a regular ol' fireplace surround in a nice subarban Texas home, but he was hungry for donuts. Little did Pinky know that it was his swashbuckling figure that would later lead him to the top.
