SO my book club was meeting at a new place this month.<\/p>\n
We read The Portrait of Dorian Gray <\/i>by Oscar Wilde. I really enjoyed the novel.<\/p>\n
And I LOVE my book club, they are all such smarty people. This time we were going to meet in a bar. I figured it might be even more fun, with alcohol to loosen our tongues.<\/p>\n
Walking down the street trying to find the address, I was stopped by a sale sign in front of a rack of clothes. I had to stop.<\/p>\n
The girl came up and told me that everything must go, and she would give me a good price on anything I saw.<\/p>\n
I asked her if she knew where the bar was.<\/p>\n
“Ummm…No, I don’t think so. But there is another rack of clothes inside if you like.”<\/p>\n
An offer I couldn’t refuse!<\/p>\n
There was another lady looking at the shirts, too. She was talking to the proprietor about travelling to Europe. “I just got back from Rome. I was lecturing there.”<\/p>\n
“Oh really?” the man said through his thick Armenian accent. “What about?”<\/p>\n
“I’m a make-up artist. I do special effects, like wounds or disembowelment.”<\/p>\n
“Not the sort of techniques you can use at home.” I said.<\/p>\n
“No,” she said. “Not really. But I’ve gotten awards every year for the past 10 years. I’m really good at it.”<\/p>\n
“That’s fabulous! Congratulations!” I said.<\/p>\n
Then we talked about the different shirts for a while. She held one up. “I think I like this one.”<\/p>\n
“Yeah, it’s cute.”<\/p>\n
“See, it has indian inspired designs on the front and back. But on the sleeves, the pattern is more American Indian.”<\/p>\n
“Ooh! An Ironic shirt! You should get it.”<\/p>\n
“I think I will.”<\/p>\n
I had to get going to my book club. I walked off, thinking about award-winning disembowelment artists.<\/p>\n
A Hollywood moment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
