hubba hubba! Looking good!

That might be a good sign. I hope it is at least.

I see no reason you wouldn't make a splendid suicide gal. I dig the mask thing, I have one from the Ivory Coast that I've had to change out the feathers, canvas and straw due to age, but because I have old photographs it hasn't been difficult. I know it sounds stupid to alter an antique but it had lost it's character and vibrancy, and though dusty it seems alive again. I hope I look as well at 150! I don't look at it as an investment or I wouldn't have changed it, it's art in it's purest sense, it makes you emote, and I feel bad it's been changed in my care, but it still lives. I derive great pleasure in having it, what else is the point of possessing something? You share things, you sacrifice for things, you endure things. Those few things you actually OWN should be treasured. Everyone I've allowed to wear it claims the same sensation of being outside of themself, lost in a crowd of a singular consciousness. I felt this when I bought it, I have never shared this thought with anyone before. Probably won't again. The mask itself is described as a "Queen's ceremony" mask, and despite my previous decade at the National Geographic this is all I could discover about it, other than it was authentic before I "improved" upon it. I'm letting my subscription from suicidegirls end tomorrow, but would appreciate any comment at marcopious@yahoo.com.
