About Chicago

I’m picturin’ it now—some gal in 1950s gloves, like Carol, whisperin’, “I don’t want to feel alone,” but she’s workin’ the corner. Poetic, right? Sad too—gets me in the gut. I’m yellin’ at the screen in my head—leave her be! Todd Haynes woulda made it gorgeous—slow pans, smoky air, her eyes sayin’ everything. Pretty, pretty good shot, I bet.

Every neighborhood has its flavor. Take Central Mills – not too flashy but wicked hometown style. People there know my face from my street hustle. I always say, “Your world spins around love, yes?” kinda like the glitter and glam of the Moulin Rouge! nights. And the vibe? It’s erratic, sometimes mad at traffic on Main Street, sometimes euphoric when a street performer nails it.
