flo

In fact it's not Flo and Mo in the pic. We had just bought a few pounds, or kilos, for the non-Anglo-Saxon people, of second-hand clothing and accessories. The result is visibly risible. My mom actually thought I had a ciggie in the hand. It's a pen, mom! Although you did find that pack of Pall Malls in my bag.
Val's headscarf is the one that cracks me up. She looks like that cartoon, the classy goose. And I just look plain "Absolutely Fabulous." What college kids do when they are done with homework! Or more like, when they are procrastinating...
Those days are gone. I am at the office 12 hours a day and I barely acknowledge the existence of life, human life forms and social activities. Bah, I will make the movie of the century in a few decades, kids. A French drama. That was always my dream. Or a British period piece. I am very Merchant Ivory when it comes down to it. And a friend once told me that I exude a Helena Bonham-Carteresque air. Can you see it? Behind the shaddy clothing and the gaping mouth, there is an aristocratic smoker.
