A staff member at the library today, whom I do not know and have never spoken to before, stopped me while I was walking out of one of the offices to say the flower in my hair reminded her of Billie Holiday. A comparison to someone so beautiful, graceful, elegant, poised, talented, and historically important has helped to alleviate the ball-of-unfortunate-feelings that has yet to vacate the pit of my stomach. She was such a diva. I hope I'm half as classy.
PS This just gives me more incentive to continue my mission to have the best collection of hair accessories Princeton has ever seen. I just got another large shipment today, maybe it's finally time for a picture-post to show you all what I've been working on. :D
Inside the mind of a kind of quirky, pretty stubborn, way too opinionated, twenty-something, heteroflexible Black female newly employed up-and-moved-to-DC Princeton GRADUATE who's just trying to sort out her life. An uninhibited celebration of all that is me, this blog is an exercise in self-discovery and live-with-your-heart-wide-open-ness. Though I make respect a habit, I will not always be politically correct, and I believe in the power of making audiences uncomfortable to inspire change.
Princeton has no idea what's coming!!
