hollywood farm girl

I've partied with the farmers, I've partied with the famous. I think the farmers are more fun. I'm trying to braid my Hollywood reality with my real life reality, with my childhood reality, which was thisclose to a Romanian Orphan's childhood, with some Mommy Dearest thrown in for good measure. * these are my words, my thoughts: tammy lynn etheridge. not melissa's, not joe's, not sally's. and i own the copyrights of the photos on this site.

my angels and the nicest thing

the circle of life 
crazy eights for some

there comes a time 
when the light might release shadows
when the answers might become
questions themselves
just when my crazy eights 
start to make me dizzy

i stare into the faces of angels
their pull 
can bring me back to circles
eventually stopping the carousel
of up and down circus colors
the faces of angels
they soften my edges of confusion
their 2 year old selves unknowingly 
providing me with 35 year old answers

the faces of angels

honey and i
are gardening angels
sweet and precious, 
making our journey together
that much more divine
amplified each time their laughter
bounces off of our walls




hollywood beckons again
they find me through "contacts"
or maybe sure will power..
but i said yes to a movie
a darling little flick with a lot 
of potential
and isn't that what life's about anyway?
what CAN happen? 
why else do we get up in the morning?



(okay, and my shrink thinks it'd be a good idea to get me out of the house while the twins start some preschool classes. *sobs*)



so i got up one morning
and said yes
to something in showbizzzzzzzz.

will the movie come to fruition? 
ya never know, i say, ya never know...
but i read the script, and 
really it's lovely, it's charming,
it's "the nicest thing".





well, right after the faces of my angels, of course.
