CHRISTINE TRZYNA BOOK REVIEW

Good photographs that make the point, wonderful quotes (some of which I will record), and the good news is that you do not need to be a fashionista to be a great writer. But then you know that, because you may be one of those raggedy-ass writers yourself!

OK, among the poets and writers I have met, I've noticed a tendency to continue hippie fashions (though with ecologically minded fabrics), and lots of thrift store finds, and I was not happy with Erica Jong when she started getting photographed in suits and in corner office settings (to enhance her authority as a woman, no doubt), but if you are curious about the likes of F. Scott Fitzgerald and Zelda, Donna Tartt, Quentin Crisp... this is the book for you.
Plus, you may be inspired to have a signature look that entails wearing weird eyeglasses even if you are the rare writer with 20/20 vision.  I will splay some of my favorite QUOTES from this book here and there on this blog, as I do treasure quotes.

MEEZ R.I.P.

Just learned that MEEZ - the company that provided the animated avatar for this blog for so many years is so R.I.P. that they've lost their domain, and so there is no login to go in and take down the account.  I loved that little version of me typing away, or watching space with a telescope. (I love science news overall.)  So with that, I'm going to take out the html code for my avatars.  All things must pass.  I guess it's just time.  Thank You Meez!
