Girls in a Tight Place. Monday, September 29, 2014. Sistahs in zion and a mormon moment part 2 : : on missing out on kumbayah. Sistah beehive and sistah laurel. Sister dora mkhabela, "natural hair diva" of the young women's general board. the first woman of african descent to pray in general conference. I listened to the sistahs in zion radiocast. Nobody put out a hand to start up the kumbayah circle (an african song, the sistahs said.). This was not okay. I hold mormons to a higher standard, just like t...

http://cladintights.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Girls in a Tight Place. Friday, April 24, 2015. Come Copy Me: Copycat Night at Otto's. A lot of things have kept me in after my nights in the salt mines: morning job interviews, morning angst, general unease, but last night I went out to Otto's Shrunken Head. Late night coffee shop. Otto's has a photo booth. Tonight was New Wave night- and I'm already getting neurotic by how much text I'm generating here- so I'll make this short. The thing I love about NYC is that I can be a middle-aged woman alone- ...

Girls in a Tight Place: June 2014

Girls in a Tight Place. Monday, June 23, 2014. My own mormon moment, part 1. Doobie brothers, when we were here together. When i was small, one of my earliest thoughts about being "born into the covenant," (what mormons call being born to parents who have been sealed for time and all eternity in the mormon temple) was:. What this meant to me as a child was:. Go on dates with boys who have vans with beds covered in faux fur spreads in the back (like my catholic best friend's sister did with her boyfriend).

Girls in a Tight Place. Tuesday, July 15, 2014. Ingrid marie at 22: a brief history. Twenty-two years ago, i gave birth to a unicorn named ingrid. Ingrid, day 2. This child has known her own heart and mind from her first day on earth, when she wanted to sleep in her own bassinet, and let me know with great certainty that she did not want me to sing twinkle, twinkle little star. To her when she was sleepy. Ingrid's first of many international trips, funded via the limerick. Ingrid with bff gloria steinhem.

Girls in a Tight Place. Friday, February 13, 2015. The deer also known as a hart. My love is a burden. I am your prey. I am your predator : : : : : artemesia, goddess of the hunt. We are all always prey and predator. There is no such thing as the top of the food chain because in the end, the earth will eat us all, and the universe will eat the earth and i don’t know who will eat the universe, just that our matter will keep getting eaten and transformed into new forms ad infinitum. So deer, i miss you.

Girls in a Tight Place. Friday, January 31, 2014. Inspiration: Middle-Aged Family Docs Who Play in Middle-Aged Bar Bands. This doctor/mom performed her anti-bullying song. Leaving January, dragging my feet. I usually hate January, but this January, I loved January. I saw Witch Camp! I stood in a parish hall with Patti Smith, Anne Waldman and Steve Earle! I had a writing project with a deadline! I'm going to shamelessly plug, cuz I rarely have anything to shameless plug, his music and in particular this s...

Girls in a Tight Place: Stevie Didn't Want This
http://cladintights.blogspot.com/2014/10/stevie-didnt-want-this.html
Girls in a Tight Place. Wednesday, October 1, 2014. Stevie Didn't Want This. A well-earned, mostly open Wednesday wherein all I did was revise one nine-page story for submission to a place Lara recommended. It's all I did, when I started the day with a list of four things. At least. Why do I forget these things should go faster than they do? How much does it suck that I have only one really good day in the week to do this, and that I ended up at a PTA-related event tonight. What girls in tight places like.

Girls in a Tight Place: I Can't Go Home After Work, Dude. Am I Right, Lara?
http://cladintights.blogspot.com/2015/02/i-cant-go-home-after-work-dude-am-i.html
Girls in a Tight Place. Wednesday, February 11, 2015. I Can't Go Home After Work, Dude. Am I Right, Lara? This dude seemed happy to pose for me. Last Tuesday, the streets here in downtown Manhattan were too icy to bike to work, so walked about two miles from the river to the East Village. Only 30 degrees around 9 pm. Not cold for this winter. Warm! Warm enough to have a conversation while walking with my hand out, holding my phone. I wasn't going to let it. Here's what I wrote by votive:. So now you know...
