C-tron did a little editorial fashion shoot in our loft this weekend. Here is a photo from my iphone:
The shoot involved wigs and I got a little excited about that. So excited that when there was a moments break I threw one on:
Unfortunately I put it on backwards and wasn’t wearing any makeup and of course Cooper took a photo. Shortly after he declared “I think this is the least flattering photo of you yet.” Oh man. So sorry sir. Luckily he already married me but hopefully he can remember that at very select times I can look like just a little more presentable. I know this posting isn’t going to help get me jobs but I just think it is so funny and since life is too short to be serious all the time I feel like it is ok to laugh at yourself once in awhile. Plus, I have no shame. Oh, and if they ever made a Little Miss Sunshine II I could play the brother!
Extra special side note: the wigs from the shoot inspired me so much that today Ctron and I spent part of our day driving in the ghetto parts of Oakland looking at several wig shops. Yes, we really did that.

At a very young age I lost site of my mom in a local grocery store in Boulder, Colorado. I did, however, have the smarts to go to the customer service counter. The kind woman at the counter asked "What is your name little girl?" My reply: "Assi." The woman gave me a look like, "Are you playing with me you little devil?" but she proceeded to blast on the loudspeaker the "We have a lost Assi at the front of the store." Customers throughout the store gagged and giggled, but my mom knew exactly who the woman was referring to: the mullet haired little girl with a tongue too big for her mouth, wearing a leotard, skirt, tights, and jelly shoes (with florescent green laces in them...even though they didn't need the laces). A shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing. I am pleased to report that today I am able to fully pronounce Allison (aka Ali), but the Assi pseudonym has always stuck, evolving into Aszi. As for the shy little character for whom every little detail in life was a huge thing? Some things never change.
