Gypsy Treasure

"Rom Gypsies are an irresistible  mixture of theatrical poverty and theatrical luxury — shabby rags and glittering gold jewelry.  Who else could be so poor and so rich at the same time?"

A River of Stones #3

I looked in the mirror today and remembered that I was no longer a blonde.
That I no longer wore fancy dress-up clothes or did my eyes just so or had perfect, raspberry colored nails to tap things with. Now my hair is of faded copper, worn in
You'll Never Get A Man Like That pigtails and I dress in You Really Must Try Harder ragged gypsy skirts. Make-up is something I usually forget and there is often dirt under my fingernails from the failed blueberry patch out back. And, on days when I am very lucky, I smell of goat.
