Back in Brooklyn I hung out by a truck farm and discovered Fultummy’s. I spent 21 hours in Dallas, with a stopover in Memphis. The world celebrated 10/10/10. Back in NYC, I saw friends on stage, took photos with apples, stepped in street goo, watched rain on my windows, biked in the sun, enjoyed a fall feast, did some community service, showed my face without makeup, admired the gorgeous colors of fall, and put on a lot of makeup for Halloween. I bought green boots and a coat, wore dad’s pants, old leopard and a scarf by mom, lusted for tie dye, bloomers, awesome shoes and fair trade fashion. I took issue with Vogue’s vague attempt at eco-fashion and raved about eco-chic NYC and stylish bags made from leather scraps.

During my trip back from spending 21 hours in Dallas, I had a stopover in Memphis. Of course the flight to JFK was delays, and of course there was an Elvis-themed store at the airport.

There, The King lives on, in mosaic form.

Above was a ceiling fixture that resembled a UFO. Conclusion: Elvis is not dead. He was abducted by Aliens (kind of like the guy in Slaughterhouse-Five, a book I happened to be reading at this very time) and turned into a stone mosaic! Was I bored? Yes, very.
