I have 8 photo albums and 6 scrapbooks. Yesterday I started to look through them early in the morning, lost track of time and then realized it was 9 pm and I had nothing in the house to eat except Metamucil.
Apparently I find myself fascinating.
But since people commented on how thin I was in yesterday's picture with Pascal I spent 2 hours today looking for THIS photo. I had just discovered my boyfriend Matty in bed with my gay hairdresser and had stopped eating altogether. I was living in San Francisco and I flew home to D.C. to get away. My father walked right past me at the airport because he didn't recognize me.
Then he took my sister and I on a cruise to Bermuda to "help me forget" and I promptly had an affair with a cute blonde guy who wore Aramis. Needless to say he made an impression because whenever I smell it I think of him. I have no idea what his name was. Like you remember all your hookups' names. Don't even pretend you do. And IF you do, you've had a boring sex life. Trust me on that one. The beauty of this is you can't argue that you haven't!
I looked like this. Probably about 98 pounds. Even back then I dressed weirdly. That navy blue purse was an old lady one from a thrift shop, I have a bracelet up on my biceps, a tooth and Greek cross around my neck and tons of turquoise rings. I would kill to still have those sunglasses. And I was smoking a cigarette in that picture!! My whole goal in life was never to look like anyone else. I succeeded AND STILL GOT LAID.
When we got back home my Dad flew me to Paris so my mother could fatten me up with locamolé at Lake Heroin. And I slowly gained the weight back, especially after meeting Pascal.
Where is he now? He married a very rich girl. My mother said he would never marry me because we weren't rich enough. What's love got to do with it? Apparently nothing.
End of chat.

Psh... men! You can't live with them and you can only fit one in the trunk.
ReplyDeleteYou look so cute in that pic. Who's the stalker behind you?
Lord have mercy child. . . if a big wind had come along, you would have been overboard!
ReplyDeleteyou have a gift............
ReplyDeleteand apparently anorexia.
And a thrift shop purse?????
ReplyDeleteWe might be related after all.
Good lord - I would have been begging people, in the name of all that's good, to give you a pork chop...please!!!
ReplyDeleteDid you know there's a ghost in that pic? Creepy...
Don't get me started on love...pft...
Shade and Sweetwater,
K (who may well have weighed 98 pounds in her life...but probably well before she hit double digits in years...)
A cruise, sex & Paris....what are you complaining about.
ReplyDeleteOh, sorry about your BF & hair dresser. I bet you hated to lose him, it's so hard to find someone who gives a good blow(out).
Bet you're a shortie too, cause yo don't look all skin and bones at 98 lbs., just really thin.
ReplyDeleteLove the thrift shop purse, although a bit "old lady-ie"; guess since I'm an old lady, I'd have to get one for teens, huh!
Sorry its hard to find a good hairdresser! BF are easier. Was this in the early 80's I recgonize your style! Too skinny! Eat something!
ReplyDeleteI certainly hope you stopped using that hairdresser! A couple of assholes, that's for sure, better off without both of them :).
ReplyDeleteYou look petite, glad you put the weight on, no man is worth that! BTW, what's with the bracelet up the arm, I only make ones for the wrist, maybe I'm just old fashioned, lol.
Whose tooth was that??? Aramis guy?
ReplyDeleteAnd Nicole Richie thinks she started the oversize sunglasses, waif thin look. Ha!
ReplyDeleteI dress weird too!
ReplyDeleteLook at all your Vodka-laden followers!
WOOOT!
When she put my pic up I added ten more in one day or something.
YAhoooooooooooooooOO!
Where's your slideshow??
ReplyDeleteThat weird ghost in the background looks like a Dean Koontz book jacket. *shudders*
ReplyDeleteI think you look cute - a little thin - but cute.
Ahh You are so much more gorgeous now!
ReplyDeleteMen are pigs.
Shit. I think I can remember all their names...
ReplyDeleteGood job finding the picture of you at 98 pounds. Gosh, I wish I had those.
ReplyDeleteOHHH those glasses, I love them.
ReplyDeleteI definately don't remember all my lovers names.Sometimes a song will trigger a memory, then I spend an hour trying to think of their name.
I didn't notice the stalker, or ghost in the background until mentioned above. Freaky.
I'm going to answer all the quesions I can remember. I'm 5'6", you're welcome for following you, I follow anyone who is kind enought to follow me, I know I could count on Heidi to forget her exexs names, Phil, you're a man among me (???) Ann, I'm going to slap you, the ghost is probably some voyeur, although I didn't see him either, I can't remember where the tooth came from, it wasn't human but an animal's, yes men are pigs and hairdressers are hard to find and Vodka Mom rocks.
ReplyDeleteI made so many errors in that answer and that's because I haven't been out for coffee yet.
ReplyDeleteof course it'd be expecting too much for you to MAKE your own coffee? :P lol
ReplyDeletenah, one'd think you were a tad domesticated ;)
Suzy,
ReplyDeleteI am jealous, not because I haven't weighed 98 pounds since the 6th grade, but that your Dad took you on a cruise to get over the bad romance. If I had a breakup, my Dad's solution to "help me forget" would be either yard work or perhaps painting the kitchen and front hall.
Aloha,
MJ
Now see I think you dressed cool. Of course this is the 19 year old who had her grandmother's 1950's suites altered and wore them and a pill box hat to work in the 1970's. Go figure.
ReplyDeleteI should clarify that I was 19 way back in the 1970's and not that I'm 19 now. Although I sometimes forget that I'm not and try to act like I am. Man i just can not stay out all night drinking and dancing like I used to.
ReplyDeleteWhoa - I was in seventh grade last I saw the other side of 100 pounds! You tell the best stories, I swear.
ReplyDeleteYou make me wish I was gay.
ReplyDeleteYou are hot in every photo and Pascal? May I have two of those please?
ReplyDeleteI'd love to hang out at your place and look through photo albums. I'm willing to bet there are a lot of stories in there.
ReplyDeleteI find you fascinating, too!
ReplyDeleteIt gets difficult with ex lovers when you cant remember names or faces...well, it was a long time ago...honest
ReplyDeleteMen suck. Then again, that's one of the reasons I enjoy them so much.
ReplyDeleteOh my God...you look great, but that stalker in the background is creeping me out!!!
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell...that looks like a ghost or something.
Wow...I am freakin just looking at him.
Phil
Maybe I DO dress strange, but I would purchase every item you are wearing if given the chance. Great thing is, i HAVE some sunglasses like that- they are light orange and brown frames... and make me look like a mosquito... maybe i should send them to you!
