Got back from Washington (with a sleepy zombie head, but so many stories waiting to be shared…) just in time to catch the girls in Santa Cruz, before they embark on their Californian On the Road journey, which Maria and i, if our brilliant meeting up plan works out, will join at some point next week. Necessary shopping for all one needs to confront deserts and bears and (cold! rainy!) Californian nights in fragile light tents… You might get the impression that we got stuck in Santa Cruz second hand clothes shops, but you should not underestimate how wigs and accessoires might be of good use in the desert, the forest, or Las Vegas and L.A. Do you recognise any of these women? (A hint: all their names start with the same letter…) They are merely the warming-up show for the great metamorphosis of the absent one on these two snapshots, a metamorphosis in need of full exposure one of these days…
