just got this in the mail today…

I get complimented on these glasses at least once a day, usually by total strangers. Sometimes multiple times a day. I feel like the world could end if I ever loose or break them…;-)
came up on elevator with a group of black ladies who were really into my nails and impressed that they matched my glasses… “that’s how Elton John would do it!” one of them said:-)
new boots… finding feminine shoes that fit me has been a challenge… these boots came from Italy… my other shoe source is Ireland… is cross dressing more common in Europe?… are women bigger in Europe?… is Europe more willing to serve large size women?… all of the above?…
And one having nothing to do with politics…
One finds that there is beauty or at least interest in everything, seen with an acute enough eye. (And the aestheticizing of reality that makes everything, anything, available to the camera is what also permits the co-opting of any photograph, even one of an utterly practical sort, as art.) (Susan Sontag, On Photography)
something weird related to my account going on… @help
I have been an author in two iterations of this program. This time I am the featured artist. Very excited.
My wife and I got our nails done today. I like having painted nails almost as much as I like wearing lipstick. Family nail care, priceless.
