If you pinned me down to one narrowly defined musical genre that I had to commit to, it would be ’70’s R&B/soul. And there was no better song than Al Wilson’s Show and Tell.

These are the eyes that never knew how to smile
‘Til you came into my life (do-do-do-do-do)
And these are the arms that long to lock you inside
Every day and every night (do-do-do-do-do)
Girl, and here is the soul of which you’ve taken control
Can’t you see I’m trying to show love is right?

October 10, 2026 is not an interesting story. I am friendly with someone from America’s Next Top Model and have walked her shows in the past and participated in a few photo shoots with her. I was going to try and walk a show this past spring but could not swing it. I was able to use the money I paid for that on a photo shoot.

Whoa, show and tell, just a game I play
When I wanna say, “I love you” (ooh, ooh, I love you)
Girl, so show me and tell me that you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby

The new do you see is my look for two upcoming events: Frocktails and the fashion show. So I figured I would take her out for a test run.

These are the hands that can’t help reaching for you
If you’re anywhere in sight (anywhere in sight)
And these are the lips that can’t help calling your name
In the middle of the night (middle of the night)
Whoa, and here is the man who needs to know where you stand
Don’t you know I’ve done all I can? So decide

I had some down time prior and did what I believe to be just the cutest selfie photo shoot I have done in a while. I’ll let my friend here chat a bit…

Whoa-oh, show and tell, is just a game I play
When I wanna say, “I love you” (ooh, ooh, I love you)
Girl, so show me and tell me that you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do, baby, baby, baby

Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh…
Whoa-ooh, ooh-ooh

Ah, and here is the soul of which you’ve taken control
Can’t you see I’m trying to show love is right?

Ooh, girl, show and tell, just a game I play
When I wanna say, “Oh, I love you” (ooh, ooh, I love you)
Girl, so show me and tell me that you feel the same way too
Say you do, say you do, baby

Whoa, show and tell, just a game I play
When I wanna say, “Oh, I love you” (ooh, ooh, I love you)
Girl, so show me and tell me that you feel the same way too
Say you do, baby

Solstice 2022

An evening that did not disappoint!

I simply cannot look any better! This is as good as it will ever get for me.

June 25, 2022 was the big Summer Solstice party at The Cleveland Museum of Art!!

On my way to the art museum, I stopped for a couple glasses of wine and a bite to eat at Cooper’s Hawk winery and restaurant. I sat at the bar and had a few casual conversations with some of the patrons. I quite enjoyed myself.

Once I got to the museum, it was time to work. I would estimate that we had 5,000 patrons attend the party. And each and every single one of them had to look at and listen to me as I greeted them and pointed them to our check-in area. I was playing the carnival barker for two and a half hours and had a blast!

This is the best thing I can do for my already bloated ego. I got tons of compliments! Many of them were compliments on my accessories, which I love because I consider those carefully and it is so affirming that my attention to detail is noticed. I was also so pleased with my makeup as I made a few minor changes in my routine, using a putty blush and a cream concealer under my eyes. Being a evening party, I went as dramatic as I am capable of with my eye makeup.

After my shift, we were free enjoy the party. I walked around with two other ladies that I worked with, and we had a lovely time. Once they went home, I walked around on my own and had quite a few wonderful exchanges. I got some food and was looking for a table when someone asked me to join them. It was two couples and me. We had a very interesting conversation. One of the women was in great shape and is a dance instructor. Now she had enjoyed a few adult beverages. As we talked, I don’t quite remember how it came up, but she actually thought I was a woman. When I called BS on her, she playfully asked me some questions that, had we both been sober, I might have found offensive. Nothing really bad, but very personal. Anyway, I enjoyed spending the time with them.

I moved on and met another woman and had a great talk with her. The party wrapped up, so I went home. I had been greatly looking forward this event and it did not disappoint!
