LISTEN TO THE SOUND, MY BIG BLACK BOOTS

Stripes and knits and tights... Oh my! I love my new winter boots. They pull on, zip, buckle, and conform to your instep (I guess it must mean I'm getting old if that's something I look for in footwear.) I absolutely adore them. This is actually one of those cases where I get dressed in the morning with the intent of building an outfit around my shoes. Black tights or cigarette pants are ideal for a high-shaft like this, elongating the leg and drawing away from any opportunity for stub-leg-syndrome (you know what I mean, when your look gives you long killer lower legs but then cuts you off at the knees — literally — giving the impression of shorter, stubby hot-dog-like thighs.) Bleh. Years of sports have blessed me with strong muscles, but I need to watch for this mishap when dressing my legs. Weighty knit shorts deter from any addition of bulk-age, and although I could have kept the long and lean line going with something more vertical on top, I opted for horizontal stripes in a tonal play that works well with the shorts. My long hourglass necklace works in to continue the vertical line, and I added a shorter necklace for balance and to bring the focus of attention up to my face and away from the midline.

MISO UNDER THE THATCHED ROOF

My friends and I have developed a ritual for stuffing our bellies only at certain restaurants in one another's neighborhoods when we make visits. Here I am sipping my miso soup at one such sushi place. It should be noted that reggae music was playing at 5 o'clock in the evening, while we dined on spicy tuna rolls and chicken katsu.

ARNOLD PALMER

One Arnold Palmer, please...

Waiting in a barbershop with nothing else to do but catch up on the men's reading material.

Dolls need haircuts too, and on a muggy day the salon is booked...

The gentlemen can wait for a step up. These peeptoes need a rest.

KEPT US AWAKE WITH WOLVES TEETH, SHARING DIFFERENT HEART BEATS

CHAPTER THREE: THE WOLF

Red stops at an old house, rickety and hardly standing in the wind.

Who else but THE WOLF is there...

I can see you better now, my dear.

It would seem that the wolf is the one hiding today...

Will she strike?

Perhaps not.

The wolf sits in wait of a more fruitful day.

And as it may seem, Red is for now the victor.

I WAS FULL BY YOUR COUNT I WAS LOST BUT YOUR FOOL

CHAPTER TWO: THE SHEEP

The cunning wolf thinks to stalk under the guise of the sheep.

Here there is the perfect vantage point.

A plot is formed. Time to wait.

And wait.

I HEARD YOUR HEART BEATING, YOU WERE IN THE DARKNESS TOO

CHAPTER ONE: RED

Red sets out on her sojourn through the forest.

A brave siren, she has made this journey thousands of times.

But today she is stiffened when she hears a crackling in the underbrush about her.

Red decides she shall keep her wits about her and continue through the darkening wood.
