“You fill yourself with the gift of time—the ticking of moments, the time you spent, the fact that you were always called a late bloomer. What is late? You are always on time.”

— Brennan Lee Mulligan, “Dimension 20: The Seven”

Love After Love

by Derek Walcott

The time will come when, with elation, you will greet yourself arriving at your own door, in your own mirror and each will smile at the other’s welcome, and say, sit here. Eat. You will love again the stranger who was your self. Give wine. Give bread. Give back your heart to itself, to the stranger who has loved you all your life, whom you ignored for another, who knows you by heart. Take down the love letters from the bookshelf, the photographs, the desperate notes, peel your own image from the mirror. Sit. Feast on your life.

Women, unlike most men, are able to accept mystery, accept whatever comes to them — even if it’s not logical.

- Cher

Cher is one of my earliest female icons in fashion and lifestyle. As a young girl I was fascinated with her dramatic face, her relationship and couture with Bob Mackie, her radicalism in feminism, her too cool for men attitude, and (obviously) her deep sultry voice.

Recently I have been watching a few videos about her battle for conservatorship over her son’s property and finances. All the updates are painting her in the same light as Jamie Spears, yet through the alleged incidents that these bloggers and other media list, the reasoning comes across to me is that Cher is being a responsible mother to a child of hers addled with drug addiction and cannot / will not get clean despite the numerous rehabs he’s been a guest at for over a decade. To me, that’s a perfect response in order for her to make sure he cannot have access to that kind of capital assets to liquidate for his next fix.

Maybe main media is plagued with the wrong idea of conservatorship as only a negative and evil thing to do. Maybe most people have not had the hardening experience of a junkie loved one and cannot comprehend the fracturing effects that addicts have on the people around them.

Or maybe I just really like Cher.

“We are all we have. How could you not be your biggest fan? Other people may come in and out. I don't know why at such an early age, maybe nine, I decided I am not the fucking problem. The American condition of shame and humiliation and insecurity and jealousy, I don't know these emotions. I wish nobody did.”

— Lydia Lunch
