“What kind of haircut do you want?” Frank asked me. “I want a pixie cut,” I replied. “What kind?” “I want something soft.” I showed him a few photos. He nodded. He held his scissors and the comb in other hand and asked, “Are you ready?” “Are you sure?” my hairdresser had asked me. This [...]
“To the girl sitting at the stairs, You are a fucking goddess.” ~Anonymous Gatwick Airport, London. A woman dressed in black was yelling at someone on her phone in Italian. I couldn’t understand what she was saying but I could filter out the swear words. And it appeared so could the little Spanish girl standing [...]

If you tell me that I am beautiful, I will be offended. If you tell me that I am ugly, I will be offended. Don’t waste that cheesiness on me - If you do, I will be offended. If you don’t ever, however, I will be offended. Tell me I am too tall, I will [...]
