Show and Tell
So... I've been brainstorming - trying to find a way to cover my Special Snowflake Food Budget Situation, as mentioned in Beautiful Hunger and I came up with something that I want to share with you guys. I do vector illustrations of hands for fun. The hours of...
Beyond Comfort @TheKevinAllison #risk! #kevinallison #life
So... I can't say that I had a sexual revolution like most people had. During my 20s when such a thing, I'm thinking, was supposed to have occurred, I was working crazy hours at a job I didn't ever think I would be doing (corporate) for an impossible family situation...
Beautiful Hunger
Photo Credit: Sandra Jean-Pierre @Whole Foods It takes me nine hours to cook my food - give or take two hours or so. Usually I do my food shopping the day I decide to cook - saves my foods being cross-contaminated and ensures its freshness. This is what I tell myself...
Up Holder
This... has kept me up/fed more than y'all can even imagine.
The Things We Forget
I haven't forgotten about this blog. Truth is, I've been blogging elsewhere's. Not things many would like(?!) or would be interested in... I think. I am judging now and I'm not sure that is helping. But I didn't forget about this blog. I think it is easier to ignore...
Underneath It All
Update 10.21.12: Totally realized that contrary to what I had written in this post - I don't want to be taken care of (I know how to feed myself, shop, get myself bathed, etc...), I want to be cared for (loved, adored, respected, given cuddles and kisses, thought of...
Half
When I was just about to start school, I was tested. During those times (late seventies/early eighties) any kid who was in a wheelchair or had leg braces or seizures was tested to see just how Special Ed. they were. Me and my wheelchair would be no exception. I...
Man Who Wears a Skirt
He prefers structured skirts that reach mid-thigh. And heels that are no more than two-inches or so (though I've sworn I've seen him wear a pair that were a shade higher) that show off his toes. Yes, the strappy kinds. I've seen him wear them in white and...
Something to Say
I didn't come out till I was in my late twenties. My mother had been long dead and any reservations I had about being wrong about being lesbian were nil because I had met a Someone who felt some kind of way about me. It was still difficult, because I had to contend...
Betrayal
I try not to betray my words. But either out of necessity or inability, I do. And in those moments, I know that I am somehow denying the world (?) of something important. So I try not to let that happen very often. The relationship I have with my words is like a...
Child’s Play
I ate my first batch of fish sticks and tartar sauce in almost two and a half years. Though I at times consider myself a food snob of sorts (I mean what is there NOT to love about the buttery, custardy, creamy goodness that is Crème brûlée?!), I am not above the...
Being Born
My Mother often told me the story of how she was in labor with me for three days. Her pains began on a Wednesday and wait as they did for her delivery to take its natural course, the doctor had to induce her to get me out by late Friday. Apparently I was having none...
