Drabble #13


beaded kimono

Last night was terrible. Instead of reclining languidly on a chaise, cigarette (in holder) in one hand, scotch-rocks on the other, she was hopping up all night. She got people drinks. She took coats. She even hugged people. I am not a dress for hugging—it breaks the beads. I used to belong to her sister, who had people she paid to do that kind of thing. Catch her mixing her own drinks! I suppose it’s my fault, for going out of style … I thought I was a classic, until I wasn’t anymore. So now there’s hugging. And cheese logs.

  1. That dress should just wait ’till it goes to the consignment shop, and some girl like me takes it home to wear as a *nightgown*.

  2. And cheese logs.I laughed so loud my office mates had to look. They’re all boys and think cheese logs are rather tasty… Yep.

  3. Love the drabbles, AND cheese logs (Amy Sedaris would be so proud). Love beading, and hugging; what’s a girl (or dress) to do? Try to embrace impermanence, I guess…
