tomfoolery. strange ideas. eclectic prattle.

I don’t know if you have seen the ad from “Florida’s Natural” brand orange juice that asserts that they believe “walking in an orange grove beats lying on a therapist’s couch.” I generally have a good sense of humor, but this ad just rubs me the wrong way, playing into the unspoken prejudices about people with mental illness–that there’s nothing really wrong with them, that therapy is worthless, etc. Fortunately, they have offered me a forum of my own.

Have I mentioned my niece Kit is a kick-ass tattooist? Check her out yourself!

Yes. We. Can. Did.

These beautiful women want you to go vote! Thanks, Cori and Alicia!

Thanks, Giovanna!

Thanks, Thea and Liam!

Thanks, Charlotte!

Thanks, Casey! (I think. This photo will haunt my nightmares.)

Thanks, Kristi!

Thanks Alicia and Steve!

Thanks, Matt! When you lost those four toes in that freaky skateboarding accident, we all thought “why? why?!?” Now we know.

Thanks, Debbie!

And finally, a special thanks to Nora, Rosie and their friend, none of whom look too sure about this whole thing!
