***I have already divulged much too much about myself and my bowels, so I was hardpressed to come up with an additional Three Things You Did Not Know About Me. A little scraping the bottom of the proverbial barrel, but here they are:
1. I have a disturbingly creepy photo of me and Don Ho hugging.
2. I may not appear to be a fashion maven- not by a looooooong shot, but many years ago, I aspired to one day working in a fashion-related field. I am actually a graduate of the Fashion Institute of Technology in NYC. Here is a photo of me and VC outside the hallowed halls on our recent vacation. With my fuzzy sweatshirt, bermuda shorts and MBT clodhoppers, you can tell that I am someone who still takes fashion seriously ;-)
3. My name is on the wall at the Museum of Modern Art (MOMA) in NYC. What's that? Did one of my knock-offs of the masters make it into the their fine collection? Nah, just my name. When we visited the museum, a Slovakian artist named Roman Ondak was working on a performance piece entitled "Measuring the Universe." As part of his project he measured the height of those who wanted their names recorded on the walls. The person's name and date of visit was written at "head height." MB turned around and noticed me and VC in the line. He thought we were crazy to wait, but there was no way I was missing out on being a part of a piece of history *gosh*. Here I am being measured:
and here's my name and date on the wall - you will need to rotate your head to see it correctly. For the life of me I can not get the photo to appear normally in blogger!!!
You will notice that I am the exact same height as Song Dong!
I am not sure if this is a permanent piece or if my name will be painted over before we visit MOMA again. That would be sad :-(

I have missed your posts, but I'm baaaack!
Fun, and as much as I love fashion I always work with whats more comfortable and kid proof for the most part. I'm thinking spit up and salsa go real nice together.
