I went to see May Pang in Omaha to get a poster for my friend in San Francisco. She remembered my name and gave me back my vinyl sleeve I had left at the show in Des Moines!
She spent 30 minutes talking to my girls about their schools, hobbies and favorite photos.
My daughter complimented May's handwriting.
May proceeded to tell us a story about correspondence letters from Aunt Mimi to John, written on the thinnest tissue like stationary. Apparently Mimi had the most perfect penmanship when she wrote front & back sometimes eight pages to John in LA. It was a surreal experience hearing firsthand stories about letters back and forth between John & Aunt Mimi.
She genuinely loved visiting Omaha and I gave her some restaurant recommendations before she headed out to the next stop on her tour.
At the end, she gave me a hug and took a polaroid with us. What a lovely woman 💜
My new little friend, i made him as an act of self love so here it is with a lil heart aswell with a loving message as i put in all my plushes 💖 not sure if ill name them riff or thrash
I took this cutie-pa-tootie home because she/he was super friendly &wandering by the highway near the beach… I guess I’ll figure out if it’s a boy or girl once it stops hiding in my closet. 🙃
