Everything in my room has a pinkish glow in the morning, due to some outrageously bright hot pink curtains I’ve put up. And to think, I really was never a “pink” person.

Here is (most of) my Christmas Literary Loot: At A Crossroads: Between a Rock and My Parents’ Place by Kate T. Williamson (which I coveted. Thanks big bro!), two Kelly Cutrone books, and Freak Show: Presenting Human Oddities for Amusement and Profit by Robert Bogdan. This last one was from my uncle, who TOTALLY gets me. (He even included a photograph of a “human skeleton” and his wife! BEST GIFT EVER!) I’ve been working on a project for his antiques business, and one of the most fascinating things I am finding is the plethora of bygone circus material. I am fascinated by the way these side shows were advertised, who these people were, the psychology behind the freak show… all of it! I can’t wait to read this book.

Also, since I am completely inept at photography, I’m still Instagraming it (follow me at drunkliterature).
