GIRLFRIEND


So a friend I dont mention enough is my dear Hayley Thiesen or as we call her Girlfriend. She's the sweetest, most gentle hospitality whore from Detroit. And she loves to tell you she's from Detroit. "Detroit is in all ways the definition of the American City but its problem lies in the fact that it didn't diversify its industries" -GF Thats a taste of girlfriend, a most intellectual being. Girlfriend enjoys fine cinema, serial killers, good food, and looking up things on wikipedia (which is the source of her ever-expanding knowledge) So suck on that higher education, wikipedia isn't full of shit. The funny thing about girlfriend is that you would never expect her to even be in the same room as me, Gabrielle or the stoic Sonia. Our pessimistic evil ignorance hasn't seemed to corrupt her...yet. Deep down I think she realizes that we are evil soul-less beings who judge people instinctively and couldn't give a fuck and she either wishes she could be too or is deep down a mass murder who chuckles at our cynical wit. Either way she's our girlfriend and we're blessed by her presence oh yeah and her TV helps too. This saturday me and girlfriend had a date with the movie SHIVER or Eskalorfrio in Spanish. It was a Spanish movie about a boy and his mother who move out of the city because of a bizarre skin condition which prevents him from being exposed to sunlight, and into the country where they discover a crazy wild little girl who kills people and everyone suspects the new boy but it turns out to be some german child. This thus prompted our interest in feral children and I fell in love and awe with the story of Genie Willie who until she was 13 was tied to a potty chair in total isolation and was then slowly reabilitated in a series of extensive tests and research. Its a really sad story and they based a movie on her whole ordeal called "mockingbird dont sing" I want to see it soon. Maybe tonight. On Sunday I was cordially invited to Girlfriend's uncle Carl's house for dinner and cake which I couldn't refuse. They lived in this charming brownstone in Clinton Hill. Chicken and Dumplings, a light salad and a famous recipe chocolate cake left me stuffed. The company was very interesting. They were the most cultured, intellectual group of people I've ever been around. I felt like a complete idiot as they discussed everything from film to politics and art. It was very interesting. Its great to meet new people and in such an intimate setting you really see how many different lives we live. Whoa..deep. ANYWAYS ABOUT FASHION.....
