Green Dress: found slide at the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market
I hope everyone had a wonderful 4th of July!
I recently went to the Hell’s Kitchen Flea Market, and I found a canister filled with old slides. There’s nothing quite so luminous as a slide, even when it’s just held up to the light. There were dozens of them to look at, and this one happened to be the first one I picked up. It was an overcast day, but there was a ray of sunlight coming through the clouds so that I could illuminate the face of this woman in a sparkly green dress. I wonder who she is? And I wonder if I can find that dress the next time I’m at the flea…
