Clockwise, from the left: Donna, Monica, Mikki, & me.This was me 20 years ago when I lived in Atlanta. Back when I was skinny and had lots of hair. We all smoked Camel Wides at the time, and called ourselves "The Hard Pack" in homage. We looked damn good, too.
At different points and in different ways, we have made of ourselves a family, and are each responsible for a significant part of one another's history - and at times, sanity. We play memory keepers for each other. We have also served as both shoulder angel and devil for one another and been directly responsible for the twisting of many wild hairs, resulting in some of the best times and wildest nights anyone would ever have. We have walked into crowded bars, made friends with the staff, and ended up giving them break time on the clock while we made the drinks and waited on patrons (which last occurred this past summer, matter of fact!). We have camped out in hotel lobbies to meet bands that were touring in person (Love & Rockets, Ice-T & Body Count, just for starters) and even acted as nightclub DJ's for an evening more than once - simply by walking in and taking over once having charmed all in the booth. When things weren't happening, we made them happen.
These women are still some of my closest friends in the world, and have been with me through thick and thin.
I can see *you* in your eyes in the picture, they haven't changed but through that babyish youth you did have a hot European model look going on.
hugs to the hottie!
that so looks like a motown picture and it's like you're phil spector and they're the supremes!
seriously, those are some fokkin GREAT pictures!!!
And where did you find that bunch of beauties? Yes, you had a whole subdivision of the Female Mafia on your side even then, and that's always good! ;)
Aren't long-term friends great?
You were so young and cute. First glance, the first pic made me think you were a band...maybe singing standards and these were the "Bisquettes"...your back up singers. :p
Hope you and D are doing well. Love you bunches!

I did not realize that was you in the first photo. It looks like it was taken in the '60s! Very cool.
If only M. Stipe had known you then...
haha

O_o
time is a strange thing, isn't it?
