Joscelyne in 2011 We were darn near obsessed, my sister Jos and I. Obsessed with the glitz and glamor of Hollywood past, of Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Jayne Mansfield, Rita Hayworth and Dorothy Dandridge. Especially Dorothy. She was our poor, glamorous, unlucky in love, beautiful, dead starlet. We watched…

Six months.

What dreams may come.
I woke up from a long nightmare this morning. In this dream, I was in my mother’s house, sitting on the floor of the living room. Angry and sad that Joscelyne was dead. Angry and sad because I felt that only I truly cared anymore. I got up and headed out to…

Randy, my friend of fifteen years, came over yesterday morning. I made coffee on my Kuerig. He brought danish. His paternal grandmother passed of cancer and the memorial was Saturday. Dutiful grandson, he delivered the eulogy. He had emailed it to me last week to proofread. Carol Frantz was born on…

She’s got a bouquet.
Since I got inked in memory of Joscelyne, our cousin Shay and her best friend Jen did, too. All lilies. I know the Diva would be quite pleased, having us walk around with visible reminders of her. It’s those invisible ones that so many of us carry in our hearts that…
