I'm sitting at the author signing table wearing a roughly blue tank top, and three bright necklaces, want a bright yellow with rounded oblong beads, one varying hues of blue, yellow, and orange wood, and another of sparkly clear and black. Behind me, the sign for the store and shelves of books, next to me at the table the bright pink TERRY DACTYL. Oh, and of course I'm wearing a kn95 mask that is a red and blue houndstooth pattern
Here I'm waving my arms while in conversation with Jennifer, in addition to the details of my outfit from the previous photo, now you can see my bright red paisley velvet pants, and blue striped socks, Jennifer is wearing a burgundy sweater and black pants, with a surgical mask
Here I'm signing books at the table while three lovely people are standing in line, viewed from behind
