Maggie Mae

Name Today:  Good measure

Today, I get to:  Eat more chocolate (It's Bittersweet Chocolate Day! ☺)

Aha-phrodisiacs:

In honor of Rod Stewart's birthday, write what happened to Maggie Mae.

This image is my artistic depiction of Maggie Mae.

Maggie Mae is the opposite of a small town woman, as she travels often, in search of adventures beyond anyone's backyard. Her best friend and rock is Ramone, a baker who always has her favorite dessert on standby.  She usually sleeps in until 11:30 am, when her cat, Mustache, decides to gently bat at her face for treats.  She constantly misplaces her personal effects, which is why she can't keep a pair of anything, be it earrings, socks, or shoes.  Her favorite sound is of clanging dishes which remind her of childhood comforts.  She could easily live off of bread, exquisite cheeses, tiramisu and fine wine.  Although her wardrobe is starkly black, she drools over colors of all hues and shades.  She speaks 3 languages fluently, but has trouble pronouncing simple words like cinnamon.  To her, fresh breath is everything, so she makes a point of keeping a spearmint plant on hand.

She:  thinks psychics are for sissys; is a pro at dominos; and has an interest in watching underground sports.  She's currently exploring Africa, and has befriended an elephant named Hotuk.

She requested I refrain from disclosing anything incriminating, of which I assured her I would.

As a side note, the above image of Maggie Mae underwent a lot of transformation.  I intended her to be an image onto herself, but a backdrop insisted on coming into play ... As is usual when creativity is afoot, all components came together organically "on their own," including her story ... I was simply the tool by which creativity flowed ... Ahhh to that rush  ♥

And with an entire weekend left to my own devices, I visited a bookstore and got my message on Page 56 ( sorry, Laura -- I was too impatient to wait ;) ).  It was from Miss Tallulah Bankhead who said "Whatever you do, it has to be done with authority.  Then everyone will believe you."  Hmmmm? Which just begs the question, how does anyone do anything with authority?  What does that mean? lol =)
