Lady-like

Sitting at in lot at Rose Nullman park, I frantically dry-shaved my legs with dollar store razors because in a fit of sun-induced frenzy I left the house without changing out of my purple-striped shorts. And this girl doesn't shave unless it's a goddamned special occasion. A sweet elderly couple holding hands passed by my car as I swiftly shaved, the razor scratching at my dry, pale skin and they said "Good morning!" while simultaneously peering inside of my car.. and then they quickly looked away, trying to disguise their surprised grins.

Fuck you, old people. At least I'm trying.

Perfect Day #1

A perfect day:

- Wake up to the smell of fresh-cut grass and the kitty grooming my eyebrows.  Hot shower, bath loofa with Bath and Body Works Sweet Pea Shower gel.  Cinnamon bagel with garlic & herb cream cheese and a sugar-free energy drink.

- Change into favorite zebra-print bikini and sarong getup and climb into the car. All windows down.  Swing by Del's and head to the beach.  Lay contentedly in the sun until cooked to a crisp.  Then, run wildly into the surf to take the edge off the burn.

- Hop into the car and drive to Providence where there are magically interesting things to do.   Pick through the thrift stores, eat a reuben for lunch, wander aimlessly through the city.  Snap pictures of everything.  Walk into camera store pretending like I have money for a 17-40L, promise I'll be back to buy it eventually..

- Catch a shitty, overpriced horror movie at the theater. Eat way too much candy, scream at scary parts, complain that I am getting fat.

- Head home to pack up camera shit and swing by the market to buy soda and cheese doodles.  Walk out to Black Point and shoot long exposures as it gets dark while laying spread out on a blanket on the rocks, munching junk food and watching the sun fade.

- Sappy cuddles and swapping of fluids under the cover of darkness with my man.  Careful not to knock the camera off the tripod.  Afterwards, watch all the little floaty lights among the stars doing their thang. 

- Home to post-process a photo or two and watch Futurama and various nature documentaries. Fall asleep to the smell of a warm summer night's sweet air.
