cosas que me gustan (fine cats / hints from contemporary portraiture)

clues from contemporary portraiture, tiny kt with massive new hampshire lion, tater outside of a photo booth 30 days before her wedding, and lovers with twin profiles (subconscious).

me and tudie in blanco e negro (21 nov 2010)

last frame of first strip: this is the face when tudie is about to lose it. this face comes with a warning of about 1/100th of a second. ya done. first frame of second strip: this is the stern face her mother makes; that scares the shit out of both of us. when the lines come out, real feelings are involved. you should probably go. third frame of second strip: tudie has always had such fine points, to all of her fine features. noses are important. maybe up there with thumbs; you know what i mean...last frame of second strip: the 'knowing look,' that we used in anticipation of comments from mothers to teachers to classmates to each other, when it's so real it's already known. when we precede and proceed to know.

the tudors

www.saharamarinaborja.com is still in business thanks to my past present and future best amiga/sister, tater murray barrett. it's funny, in person we are not this awkward. there is something about phoning + imagery that is not like conversing where imagery -the person- is involved. in october tudor and i are going to try on wedding dresses in new york...betcha can't guess which one of us is getting hitched!??!?! meow.

i'm ready to get my grown-up on, if i may borrow, sean...i'm not sure how to do that. butor has always been generous, with information or otherwise. i will ask her, as i always, always, always do...for the why, the how, the what...the only thing she doesn't know is WHEN. that must mean some of it is in my control.

butor...
