I’ve
heard that it takes half the time of the whole relationship to make a full
recovery. So if my records are correct, I should be over all of this in
approximately 2 weeks.
In retrospect I’ve had the best of months and the worst of months. It’s a bit like the whole of 2011 really…
I
suffered a minor fracture of my skull at the beginning of 2011 and a major
fracture in a relationship at the year’s end. However, the part in the middle
was actually quite good… I liken it to fresh slices of tomato (with a little
salt and pepper)... in-between two slices of stale bread.
On
a lighter note, I have my American Apparel order hopefully arriving this week if
all goes well with Australia Post. I admit to living in AA tanks and high-waisted
jersey skirts. Call it fantasy, call it crazy, but it’s a great feeling dressing like you’re
off to rehearsal in a drafty city studio.
Yvonne Force Villareal*, a co-founder of
the Art Production Fund, swears by a black unitard which she wears regularly (a
great match with her black thick-framed reading glasses). I can imagine it may
be little difficult to pull off a "onesy" on the run but AA stock some in their
“Dancewear” line (yes, be still my heart they have a whole category designated to dance).
I am thinking that a unitard will be great to layer over this
coming winter. So with my letterman jacket slung over my shoulder I will feel
quite like an Ivy-League-dance-major swanning around the city. I’ve just
read Jeffrey Eugenides’ “The Marriage Plot” which has sunken me further into Ivy
League envy (a great novel – from semiotics and manic depression to Jane Austen
and the Jesus Prayer all in a bountiful 406 pages).
Bring on next pay day for the next American Apparel instalment...
