Trifecta
Big and blonde. Lithe and fair. Dark and thinking.
We were a sight.
Three writers in the night, in the big, bad city, talking our way out of Thursday and into the next glass of wine.
Wade through the talk of approaching winter, misspent money, boyfriends and millionaires, Southern surrender and Northern sensibility and you have conversation about the important things. Smiles broaden and fingers dance in the air as one glass turns into two and then three. We’re animated and earnest, very serious about this writing thing… and each other.
Not like that, darling.
Like this: we rattle off random sentences and turns of phrase on the computer screen to make the waking hours more bearable. We wish each other the best of luck. When the writing thing happens to turn a dime or two we promise to sail off into the sunset.
Dreams. Yeah. But, “Mimi,” “Opinionista” and I will make it one of these days.

‘big and…etc” which is which?

i think that’s the first time i’ve seen you write/use the word ‘yeah’. it seems so out of character for you.

piu piu - my guess:
big and blonde - belle
lithe and fair - mimi
dark and thinking - opinionista
But i hope I’m wrong . . . because surprises are always a good time.

i wudnt describe mimi as big and blonde, or lithe and fair so i was wondering which one she’d been tagged as. tho it has been about 7 months since i last saw her

piu piu, your sis is the lithe and fair one.
i hope to meet you–lithe and dark?–when you come to new york.

well I wasn’t sure about the “big” part. Just a guess??

why do u describe yourself as big? maybe ‘tall’ or ‘buxom’ or ‘curvy’ is better.
i’m not that dark. its all a fallacy. tho i might be by the time i hit NY an the bottle of hair dye

i think ‘big’ is also a means to describe my personality…

And, when you do, I will tell everyone that I have been reading you all along. And, you will make it- all of you.

the best word to describe mine, specially when pissed (like now) is probly ‘caustic’

Came upon you via Mimi’s blog …
A former southerner myself … in the process of leaving the West Village for Western Europe (and no, my old apartment is already rented) …
I enjoy your voice - good blogging.

Stumbled upon your blog a few months ago, and I find myself (a fellow southerner) also moving to the bustling Northeast. I have never felt like such a country bumpkin in my life as I have on my two short visits there. I’ll be doing research on what to expect via your blog. Thanks in advance…

Like 3 superheroes in the great metropolis, their true identities kept secret while they fight crime in the cyberworld.

Big and blonde … I want to know more.
What would momma say about you hanging out with a stripper? And, even worse, a northern liberal lawyer? :O Those yankees have corrupted their little belle.
