For the past two days I woke up cold and when I look outside it was cloudy.
One thing that is noticeable was the wind is announcing the arrival of Fall, even it is only the fourth day of September.
I right away grabbed my thick robe and headed to my kitchen and made me a warm milk. Then I sit for a while to be more fully awake.
On the side of my eyeball I noticed that large envelope that I picked up from the mail and the way I positioned it on my desk. It tells me this is something I should open first so I did that.
Oh, it was a pile of expired calendars of Betty that I saw online and bought it. All inside this 2001 pile, all pictures of Betty was different from everything I owned. All the images has a border and wordings on it, which got me curious if 2001 and newer all have that borders around her.
I dissected the calendar and I chose to grab this one and I wondered why at first. I made the assumption Betty’s clothing contradict the colder weather.
I will not lie my friend is always adorable and that self confidence she always carries it whatever outfit she is wearing. Even if she wear a ripped clothes she will still looks good because she has that inner light that comes from within.
I recognize it when a person has a good self confidence because it will shine through. This is how I feel even when I go out in shorts, there is a certain positive energy inside me that comes out.
But really, what is going on in her head wearing this one and where was this taken?
Gotcha! A voice behind my back I heard, and it was Betty. As usual we gave each other a hug and then she started talking.
Would you believe if I say that image was taken inside a bar saloon in Virginia City, NV? I was with a group of travelers and they have a Photo Booth that allow visitors to dress up like those wild Wild West era.
All the women vintage clothes are long, heavy, smelly and thick. I tried them all but nothing suited me to the point I look more like a drag queen. When I was about to give up I found this corset top mini dress stapled on the wall with the black stockings. I put the ensemble on, and everything fit and I felt so uplifting.
When I looked up, everyone was looking at me with mesmerizing eyes and cameras started flashing. I felt like a centerfold of the moment, you know, she said to me.
Then she said, and a perfect pair is what got me out.
I wanted to ask her what she means by that but she was already standing.
Rockit, this is mission zero zero nine.
The air moved wrong. She started to go and she did not go. Something pulled and did not let her.
Her leg lifted the way it does before she leaves. For the entire story, go to my FB page.
