urgh im stuck with all these wet clothes because the laundry room is out of service..

I got hit with the flu last Tuesday.  I can pinpoint the moment it happened, so I know it's the flu and not a cold.  For 5 days it was pretty brutal, but all things considered it could have been much worse (for example, unlike some folks with the flu, I was not on life support or dead).  The worst of it was the unbelievable pain in my lungs and chest.  Then for a couple of days I woke up feeling a little bit better.  This morning, though, I can barely stand up.

I don't know why I'm feeling so dizzy.  I stepped on the scale and found that I'd lost several pounds.  I feel nausea with accompanying waves of overwhelming anxiety.  I'm shaking like a mad person and feel absolutely horrible throughout my entire body  - and a little scared that this might be more than just the flu.

Anyone have these sorts of symptoms with the flu?  I'm in an area rampant with both the seasonal and swine flu variations, with verified cases of both, so it could be either of them (or either of them with something else).  I've got a doctor's appointment for tomorrow - anything I should ask him about that I can't think of right now?  I've checked online for symptoms and they vary WILDLY so I'm wondering if anyone has info to share.

Please keep your fingers crossed for me... I'm working on a freelance assignment and while dealing with this flu I've still been able to indulge in the joys of a home office, but I can't afford to be flattened down sick right now.  I hope that you and your loved ones are healthy and can get the vaccine for both flu versions this year!  Wash your hands and cough in your sleeves!

Super model Molly & the Haight

I had allot say on this shoot and then I had allot of nothing to say..
Took inspiration from a few old school paints, some French documentaries , Childhood, youth, death, and coming of age..and Maria Callas, sempre Libra ( for the black and white hair toss)
Thanks to the lovely Molly @ Ford . Great day to shoot and great people, this is the reason I love San Francisco, who would have though such a beautiful location would be smack in the middle of the Haight.. the smell of pot was in the air and spirits were high.. the Highlight of my day, a passerby saw us shooting and blurted out : " that's some awesome white trash" haha you'll see why.And Special thanks to Oliver and his owner Linda who saved the day! can't wait for part two with the deer hounds!

and sorry for this many uploads everyone, haha you know me I always have to show what I shoot, plus where else is it gona get shown hehe enjoy!

What's the oldest article of clothing you own? Bonus points if you show us a photo!

If by this you mean the oldest piece of clothing that is mine and worn by me (not antique clothing), then it would have to be my giant blue sweatshirt from high school - it's a Coconut Joe sweatshirt.

It's the only piece I have left.  I would have had more but I had a zen-like purging of my closet not long ago, getting rid of cheating boyfriend's concert shirts and other assorted items from decades ago.  Never mind that it's all just crap taking up space, who needs to look at stuff and be reminded of how shitty people can be?

Considering I was wearing maternity clothes right up until a few years ago (and my kids are no longer babies) then it's pretty embarrassing to even admit having saved this ancient stuff in the first place.  I have new clothes now, I've lost a huge amount of weight, and I'm happy to rid my house of bad juju from people who do not wish you well.  And in this new house my closet is a walk-in and HUUUUGE, so no need to have anything bouncing around in there that I don't want to see.  Even my storage areas are happy places :)

was walking home and saw this

*Other than the one that was painfully dashed when i woke up this morning and read the news from Maine.

So I'm in some type of hotel banquet hall and there's a dessert buffet and I'm piling my plates with Brownies when an instrumental version of "They Way We Where" starts playing. I start to hum along to it and the woman next to me does too. I turn. It's Meagan Mullally from Will and Grace.

We give each other a knowing nod and then start in on a full-out duet. The crowd is eating up and loving us (and I'm neglecting my brownies)! A spotlight shines on entryway of the banquet hall and guess who makes an entrance. No, not Babs but Bernadette Peters!

 Normally, I'd be happy to see her. However that's not the case when she starts to steal me and Megan's shine. She totally takes over our song.  I leave out in a huff-- with my plate of brownies. Then I hear a hubbub  inside. Someone says, "Streisand is here! And Eminem?!"

So I get over my ego and rush inside to see the two. It turns out they're only impersonators. So Meagan, me and Bernadette make nice and finish out the song together while the Babs and Eminem impersonators goof off in the background.

Go forth and fill your libraries with media.

Seriously, thanks to everyone for being so amazing and patient. You are the reason I love Vox.
