My Mask Reveals (Transmuting Miss Van)
Personally, I like masks year ’round and have been known to don a mask & a tight-as-fuck punk tee for a regular (tho rockin’) night out. However, most humans deem Halloween (& Carnivale) to be the only ”appropriate” times to don a mask. For freaks like me, October (& February) are nice times to stock up.
I never expected to be the tattooed lady – even made it through my 20′s with just one bottle-cap crown — but then I fell in love with the Spanish/French graffiti artist Miss Van. By a stroke of kismet, I met Tina Forever, a gifted tattoo artist capable of transmuting the Miss Van magic. Now I say that my body is an inky Parisian alleyway. I regret that I don’t have more flesh to commit to inky renderings of Miss Van’s masked darlings. Every time I turn around, I’m falling in love with another one and wondering where on my body, she might feel at home.

Why nostalgic, my sweet?
Thank you for peeking in on me, makes me feel cared for & looked after & loved.
Ah… I will love you always, Ali. Surely you don’t doubt that. Wish me, you & Ari could go crunching in some October leaves. Mmm. Miss it & you. XXOO D
