office invasion no. 47
nothing humbles a friday-night outfit like having to politely greet your mother’s colleagues first. #
They were here again.
Mom’s colleagues have now seen enough versions of me leaving the house that they could probably construct a timeline of my hair. Tonight I came downstairs completely ready — blonde, navy top, silver makeup, tiny bag — and immediately got trapped into polite conversation. One of them said I looked `”very grown up.”` I had a Britney CD in my bag and four euros in coins loose at the bottom because the tiny bag has no useful compartments.
Yes.
Womanhood.
Mom was wearing Angel, obviously. I had used it too, secretly, so the hallway smelled as though Thierry Mugler had sponsored the family.
Yuri eventually called.
Rescue operation successful.
Remember me, Eclipse.
Why?
Because every thought leaves a trace. If something moved you, disturbed you, softened you, or made you think, leave it here, quietly.
