the candles of memory burn so bright in my mind

One weird thing about being in a wheelchair is how many more women interact with me. Being a former supermodel, I used to be accustomed to it. Once I got in the wheelchair, not so much. But now that I get out and about more often, I catch a lot of glances. A lot of eyes interlocking with mine and a lot more hellos. I guess being unobtainable to all these women is another burden I have to bear. Erica says is sympathy. I am okay with that.

On our walk today I opted to wear the goofiest hat I owned. It’s a reversible bucket hat that was a Dunkin’ Donuts promo years ago. One side is orange and says "Dunkin' The other is pink and says 'Donuts'. I wore the pink side out today. It was given to me by Intense Les who lives downstairs. Sure enough, even clad in this stupid thing I had a woman walk past and tell me that she liked it followed by a flirty bat of the lashes.

The brutal truth is it's because they're not afraid of you. That's why Ted Bundy always pretended to have a broken leg. Most of the time women are terrified of men. You take away the fear, and they like you.

That and pink hats are awesome.
