TAKE BACK VALENTINE'S DAY

last sun, tracy and jesse and i went to a "heart show" at a local gallery in berkeley. all these local artists were displaying their heart-themed creations. some of them were really cool - like, scraps of old letters from the 1800s collaged into a heart. most of it was collagy stuff - pieces of paper strung together in heart form, or scrapped together. there was a greeting card that had a picture of a piece of wet pavement in the shape of a heart.


now, i spent many formative years wearing black and swearing off pink and being generally gloomy. because it was cool. but i've come to the conclusion that gloomy is NOT cool. gloomy is gloomy. and hearts should be reclaimed for the single ones. so, i'm going to make some of my own heart art (here are some pics of stuff tracy has around the house), and i am going to wear a red velvet dress on valentine's day, and i am going to go out and drink a pink martini of some sort.

SO THERE.
