yesterday a poem was written about me

"you were born
under a pregnant moon
by a coven of street rat
witches
fed fringe and floral
instead of formulas
a gypsy nugget in fur and lace
a wanderer gonna make you're own place
in this necktie and cross knee world
you're an indian style sidewalk squatter
a north star daughter
a sneaker bottom baby in a dress
middle fingers to the sky and
nipples to the wind" 

- traci levois thiebaud

traci is a very quirky and creative soul that i met yesterday at a work-related event in montrose. there, she had a booth set up with a vintage typewriter and was selling/bartering beautifully personalized poems to whosoever wanted one - a very unique idea, i thought. i didn't have much on me, save for ten dollars on a free people gift card, and although i was practically a stranger to her; traci still managed to sum me up perfectly in a few stanzas. i plan to frame the copy she gave me <3

to barter/trade a poem of your very own, just email her: tlthiebaud@gmail.com

just like a black wing dove

bought this amazing fringe jacket; probably my favorite find at the moment, because it makes me feel like a nineteen-seventies rock god. i've made a promise to myself to wear it all weekend long, so bring on the good times, man.

la da da di da

i spent some time recording at a friend's home studio today. we worked on some demos, but i'm currently working on some original material that i'm very, very excited about. can't wait to lay those tracks down and share them with everyone. cheers xo
