Meet the Women of She’s Wearing White…

GUARDIAN ANGEL would like to remind you to watch your step, to not be afraid of the monster in the closet and to NOT worry about that other thing. She’s on your shoulder and in the smallest crevice of your ear and if you listen, she may help.

GODDESS dances with nature on her side and can give and take in one moment, seeing back and forward as present crystallizes. She is ALL. She is POWER. She is MOTHER. She is SHE.

SLUT is easy like Sunday morning. She enjoys, relishes, drinks, caresses, eats and….well, you know. Loose as a goose, she can’t remember the last time her right leg touched her left leg and vows to never let them meet again (unless she’s on her side).

WIFE chose a bad week to quit smoking. Her “special day” was held last autumn at the St. Martin Botanical Garden, in Kalamazoo, Michigan. (His choice) She is keeping it together for Paul. (Whom she loves.. and adores…and…) Former wife of Ethan, Mark, David, Ethan, Joshua, Armond and Ethan. This time, she is keeping her last name.

VIRGIN dreams and fears. Likes the taste of pennies because it reminds her of the taste when she bites the inside of her cheek until it breaks skin. Asks often: WWMMD?

GIRL 1.0’s favorite thing to do is lay in the grass at the park and pick flowers to take home to Mom. When she grows up she wants to be just like mom. Her favorite color is purple.

GIRL 1.1 is not mother’s favorite. She is a little stumpy. She carries weight and understanding behind her eyes and is often lost in a far away……. Her favorite color is not purple.
