A well known and well loved feature of this fabulous blog, New Media Martini, is that we tell time and talk about time using the lived-long life events of Paul McCartney, the cutest Beatle, as time reference points. And we sure as hell avoid birthdays–talking about them, writing about them, and celebrating them, even if they refuse to be avoided and actually happen on a despicably reliable annual basis. To fabulous women like Faith Go. And me.
A good eye cream, Faith, Darling. Because you have eyes and you are now, today, twenty-three with eyes that need to become acquainted with eye cream. Because your physical loveliness, while substantial, is already sprinting toward the door. A metaphor hoping not to mix with the other metaphors so tragically trotted out here from time to time instead of sprinting here spontaneously and reminding us that if you move fast the wrinkles won’t show.
All my love to you, Faith. Today and always.
