• flowers before the storm

   

  Before the wind gusted and the sky began to cry, I had collected pretty things in my yard- the helicopter seeds, some fallen petals and whole flowers, and the puffy weeds.

  I remember being told when I was younger that those weeds are terrible, but I was always sad when someone would remind me that I can't have those in my yard or else my whole yard would disappear, because I really liked them. They naturally sprung open into balls of cotton, so soft and perfect. I had wanted a yard full of them, just because they look awesome. So I decided to take the weed out of context, uproot them from the ground carefully and break them apart, keeping the seeds. 

  I washed out an old glass jar, tied one pink ribbon around the jar for "handles," so as to keep today in a jar. 

   

  

   

   

   

    Also, last week I modeled for Dana of Artaya, one of DC's best designers, writers and artists, at Readsetdc's fashion district at the Powerhouse in georgetown. I wore a sparkly dress that I opened one of her shows with before, and ... she let me keep it. too amazing. i stood on a table in front of a window, and looked at everyone hehe
