Dame Mary Quant (1930-2023)
It’s impossible to overstate Quant’s contribution to fashion. She represented the joyful freedom of 1960s fashion, and provided a new role model for young women.
Fashion today owes so much to her trailblazing vision.
So happy to announce that my story "Patchouli, Bras, and Friendship Bracelets: Harvard Square, 1971" came out today in The Summerset Review! https://t.co/y4V3D6vWx7
Many thanks to Joseph and the staff @SummersetReview!

@goodreads I love using receipts for something lovely that I got on a great markdown. The more cancelled former prices, the better...then there's the laminated, colored strips made by my grown-up son back in 3rd grade, all cat-chewed. On back: Happy Mother's Day! May 7, 1997.❤️
@Authoralexp@pm_waller Yes, but imagine the other side, which can often lead to the same internal screams.
Writer: Just wrote a screen full or two. Or maybe three.
Day 2: probably have reached 2K. Keep going.
Later that week, beginning to feel what it might actually be about.
Word count:12,694.🙀
Deeply moving discussion of how art and color can heal by Annie Lanzillotto. Gave me chills…Still jumping with you, Annie, one colored stone at a time. Thank you so much for this.
