Art Project

Well, I've decided to prime the pump when it comes to my colony application. This idea popped into my head like an early corn kernel on the range: I'm working on doing some origami with money. The symbolism is perhaps too accessible, but it's a starting point. Constance pointed out a hat in Paris Match she thought I would like. As comfortable in my clothes as I am I do not think I can bring back the Bowler hat without a lot of help. Still, I asked Manolo to keep in mind for his annual vacation to Milan for the fashion week. Also scratch off the list the Christmas cards for this year. I am finally ahead of things, Diary. Take a picture. At some point I will have to tell Constance about my art colony aspirations. Perhaps then she can put me though a mock interview or two. I am dreading it, Diary.
