Last night I had a variation on a theme, recurrent nightmare. I am in a show. I arrive late. My costumes are nowhere to be found. I can’t remember how long before I have to go on, so I don’t know if I have time to go to where wardrobe is stored to get my…
When my husband’s sister Elise became very ill, I went to New Jersey for a couple of months or so to deal with it. (Bill is not great with medical stuff and his other sister had been dealing with everything for a long time – so I felt, I was the logical choice to step…
THIS FAT OLD LADY’S FAT FRIDAY – SOOSH Can you believe it? Another artist who is new to me! Soosh! Snezhana Soosh – from the Urkaine, not to be confused with R. Soosh from Australia. Not only does Soosh do pencil drawings which often feature fat bodies, often the fat bodies are male! The series…
