Post image SUBJECT: ERIN, I WANT TO MEET YOU
Erin,
I'll keep this brief, I know you're very busy with your things. I am gathering a coven of exceptional witches at my next luncheon, and I would like for you to be by my side. Enter now for a chance to win a seat at my table. If you win, you will receive:
1.
2.
3.
a small fern, a symbol that we can survive the dark times a Team Nancy Stanley cup in Yves Klein Blue an exclusive meet-and-greet with me at the nearest Blue Bottle. Go Blue!
What do you say, Erin?
ENTER FOR A CHANCE TO WIN
Take a chance,
Nancy

RE: ERIN, I WANT TO MEET YOU
this is what i learned today:
1. the fbi seized a bunch of basquiat paintings from some muscum in orlando
2. a cruise ship meant to hold nine thousand passengers was scrapped for parts before sailing
3. a mystery rocket crashed into the moon
4. stanley tucci is incredibly sexy & i could watch him eat tagliatelle & wander tangerine streets with his new friends all day & i need so many seasons of his search for italy & wonder will he ever find it & if it's more about the idea of an italy than the place in which case you can never find it & the seasons could go on forever & i like things that can go on forever so i'm sorry but i won't enter the sweepstakes. i'm not ready for this to end.
yours,

…and everything is okay once more

Originally published in Cobra Milk /

I nest in the armpit of Jeff Goldblum. He doesn’t mind. He has room there for all his little waywardians. His arms flap in gestures of acceptance, his fingers weaving stories in the air. Goldblum, that vibing, space jiving, dark haired god I dreamt of in secret places, hidden away from what was cool as a kid, worshipping his differences. Time to go little ones, he coos to us across his glistening expanse of a chest, but we shake our heads and demand he keeps talking and dropping them jazzy beats. And he does, and everything is okay once more.
