Oh, and since I hate fireworks and parades (well, the ones Iowans think you are unpatriotic if you don’t bounce out of your bag chair every fucking time another flag goes by) I am staying home tonight and tomorrow and will pretend I am your personal shopper.
I was at Obama’s inaugural, too, after walking for miles to get there, drunk on patriotism amidst throngs of better angels, all of us blinded by pride in our country. I WANT THAT COUNTRY BACK.
Don’t give up on the perfect dress. I found one once, with a ball gown skirt in swirls of bright pink and purple, and pockets. I felt beautiful in it. Keep searching!
Great essay, Elizabeth. I shared it with my DIL, my son, and a friend who is a very active Dem in Baltimore.
How lively. Thank you.
Lovely I mean!
