So, I was not too crazy to
be reminded of you by the
picture, even though I had
never seen you. How do you
like them apples?

You were great. Sending you
that picture was a big risk
for me. I am so relieved.
That is why I asked your
permission first. I love to
cut out clothing advertisements
for the woman in my life, and
just kick around the "style"
for a real person, with her input.
Advertisements are only so "real",
but they are mostly fake: no
life histories, no complexity,
just "projection" from the viewer.
Do you know what I mean here?
Thanks again (and again).
