They’re whimsical and gorgeous. So she was trying to start up her business – she had opened her own studio – so we went to a nearby street fair – all of us WEARING one of her hats – holding fliers and cards – basically being walking billboards for Christina. People were surprisingly really snotty – even though it was a street fair with tons of local artists showing their work. We heard one person say, as we walked by, “Oh. What. Is today Hat Day?” in a really snotty voice. Well, yes, frankly, it IS Hat Day, and apparently it is ALSO Corn-Cob-Up-Your-Ass-Day if your behavior is any clue. Why don’t you chill out?? Have fun. Don’t be so “over” everything. Sheesh.<\/p>\n
Christina, who often said that she “woke up in order to hyperbolize”, later characterized this entire experience as: “The Day We Almost Got Killed”. One snotty comment = bloody murder.<\/p>\n
Anyway, there are a lot of funny (and good) pictures of that day – Mitchell took this one. Here we all are on The Day We Almost Got Killed.<\/p>\n
