dog and lamp say hello to new york city.

Is it only when you’re little
you know tigers live in your closet—
one with your shoes on his two ears,
another with your umbrella tied to his tail;
the rest wearing your red coat
and blue trousers with the red buttons?
Is it only when you’re little
the dustballs have mountainous shadows
in the crack of light under the door?
Or is it also NOW you fear that tigers will eat you—
when you wake in the middle of the night
and don’t know where you are,
nor remember how far you’ve come.
Your nose hurts like a plowed field,
your fingers stiff—
Then somehow, you remember what you’ve accomplished.

play with makeup. beret hair, and hooker lips.

was recently in atlanta for work, now know why its called Hot-lanta.
basically, this first picture sums up my experience there: driving, driving, driving, more driving & chain-smoking from stress. too much time behind the wheel.
but at least my friend/assistant and i made it to the aquarium! (amazing)

and there's been question lately as to how i put up with so much "so well"...
i'll let you in on a little secret that helped make me who & how i am:

I will do my best to be
honest and fair,
friendly and helpful,
considerate and caring,
courageous and strong, and
responsible for what I say and do,
And to
respect myself and others,
respect authority,
use resources wisely,
make the world a better place, and
be a sister to every Girl Scout.
