Have you ever been haunted by an image left untreated in a tale? The one you know is lurking on the blank page after? I think of those brothers by day swans, by night, men. And their sister, driven to save them. The stinging nettle thrives in a dark and treacherous realm. It can cure if crushed, barefooted, if the blistering yarn is woven with tender handssilently, silently. I imagine her fashioning those garments, stoically, unable to cry out, to her peril. Yes The tale demands it.

Pinup fashion, makeup, hair, and the occasional dose of crystals. The Brit and The Belle. The red colourway, the only one that had ever truly tempted me, sold out months ago, and I never wanted the olive, black or purple colourways. This summer a Midnight blue. It was down to me and the coming soon Midnight Blue. Who would win? Midnight Blue Havana Dress.

The other resolution, which is to read more books, continues as well.

Musings on food, life, and fanciful things. Find a penny, pick it up. But over time, they may see the error of their ways. It shows people have come to their cent-ses.

Looking out the window I see an Angel amid the blue sky. Happy July 4th weekend America! July 5, 2015.
