rktfriday, i entered the world of modeling to don some raver wear. condompacket skirt? well, yes i looked hot. plus, i had an umbrella hat. all i have to offer is cameraphone pic, which is dark, but watch for it in a future post. maybe i'll remember who the fuck the designer was. (phil something from madison, wi.... there are ways of finding out.. maybe by the time i get the photo up.) fun times, except i have "problems" with too much stimulation. and got tired quickly. which really just means no more modeling raver wear for me! the orange nail polish was threatening to give me a migraine on the way home i got that overstimulated. i simply cannot afford that much drama. [note: and that was without the consumption of anything illicit. and the cider i had was drunk hours before.] also, some soprano guy was there. don't ask me whom or why. but, yeah, i'm such a new yorker now.
saturday... brooklyn pride. cozy and fun. i wandered the street. a (straight)coworker called and joined me, her boyfriend and his friend in tow. we wandered the strip. ... i was finally able to collect a healthy amount of dental dams. (ahhhhh, gotta love the de-prioritization of the womens....) and i signed up to join the hiv vaccine trial..... my fun times were cut short by a supposedly mandatory work meeting in brooklyn. which, yeah, i could have done without. then home to change for the lesbian art show-ball thing! (which means i missed the night parade : ( ) caught some awesome spoken word. and ivy bottini (early co-founder of NOW) was there to publicly speak. which would have been awesome enough, but after her were trapeze artists of sorts. HAWTness. also, ivy's a rockin' painter/artist. brooklynites, check her shit out at monster gallery on 4th @ president st. (you know.. over there by cattyshack) there's more about artists and their ... "eccentricities" here, but i'm too lazy and/or disengaged to get into it.
sunday... laziness. the sun was sunnying. my friend had spent the night on the trundle, so we went for brunch. (mmm grits.) we parted ways and i made my target run for toilet paper. because, apparently, that is my preferred t.p. store. i also finally got a picture frame for a pic of me, my southern brother, my little brother, and my dad from like 2 decades ago. now it can sit instead of hide in an envelope.
then went out for a walk in the sunny springy weather, but there was still shade and coolness. i returned a much overdo library book. wandered some more. breathed, because i could.
i'm getting so spoiled. thank you weather-makers for maintaining my sanity this fine june.
