Weetzie Bat blonde speeding down the hollywood boulevard in silver-screen shades and pink thigh-high boots. It’s all magic and it is all wonderful. She is alive in the sunshine that creeps through the palm trees that align the street. It warms her skin and gives her hair a honey glow.
She slipped into the diner to eat french fries with her boy. Her blue-eyed lover, her cosmic-match. Her kissed her and said, “You are my Marilyn. You are my lake full of fishes. You are my sky set, my ‘Hollywood in Miniature,’ my pink Cadillac, my highway, my martini, the stage for my heart to rock and roll on, the screen where my movies light up.”

Lost in the wild. Never knew where we are, never needed to know just where we were. Everything was alright. Breathing the blue air, taking in where I was. We showed up in a 1960s red van, hoped out and took our black boots to the sand. Smoking and swinging in our little desert outfits. We explored the sands with our cameras, telling stories and capturing memories with our lenses. Each unique to us, mountains crawling up and touching the sky. The sun beat down upon our skin, freckles began to show, and we drove from cactus grove to cactus grove, taking in all that we could. The sky was so wide, it was as Fitzgerald said, I was overwhelmed by the inexhaustible variety of life.
But overwhelmed as I was, I found hope in every turn. I realized that in me, there laid an invincible summer.
