• Ripple Effect

  Held a stone over the water… Dropped it in, delighted in the splash. Never considering the consequences we couldn’t take back.

• Lunacy

  I put growth serum on my eyebrows just to pluck them into submission. They will obey. I keep my face out of the sun to achieve porcelain. Then add bronzer to give it a healthy glow. I moisturize my skin religiously, then powder my nose. Shine equals blasphemy. I burn my natural waves straight, only […]
