let the battle begin!
my sister, an individual so reinvented that she only resembles the girl i grew up with when she's sleeping, or on those late summer days when the light is just right and you swear your eyes are playing tricks on you, has transcended the space and time that differentiates her reality and my own with a wholly unprecedented snippet of correspondence.
mi hermanita, an individual whom has spent the better part of the last month traipsing about the south of spain with her spanish-based beau, produced this lip-synch parody, and somehow projected the potentcy of a spanish summer several thousand miles to a portland disbeliever.
yes, it's clever. in fact, it's perhaps one of the most brilliant thing's she's ever done... to be fair, the sun-worn, off-duty-model look does well when mixed with a common fan and some cheesy 80's easy listening, but this level of soft-core, pulp-romance-novel-cover, chris isaac or bad karaoke video reproduction is, well, staggering.
more than that, it's clearly a challenge.
although i lack the aesthetic to compete in the paperback-cover category, i do intend to respond, and i intend to do it with style.
