She’s all done! But she isn’t for me. Pretty early on, I knew she needed to be a present for my beautiful and talented almost-sister Marika, whose birthday was last week. So off she goes. We’ll try for a modeling shot this weekend.

(And no, I didn’t, after recent events, leave Mingus alone to block the Clapotis. I covered it up with a sheet because I knew he’d do his routine mad gallop over the couch first thing in the morning and spoil it.)
