I love a long holiday and as a general rule you’ll find me out by a turquoise pool cause it’s hot outside and I’m nobody's fool. Closing my eyes I lazily daydream listening to my favorite music stream umbrella shaded from harsh sunbeams. I’ve put away polemic school assignments for leisure and tastier desultory refinements like buffalo wings, pizza and dirty martinis and the barely there cool of a string bikini. . .

<3 . Okay, so my usual appreciation and occasional astonishment response has gotten contaminated with envy on this one. HOW DO YOU COME UP WITH THESE!? Geeze. . . . Also, very nice shot, where is this pool, and what is that creature over your R shoulder on the edge of the pool? (I did end up having a VERY nice 5th of July!)

Aww, thanks - it wasn’t hard - that’s what we were doing that day. The pool’s on roof of our apartment building, I think that’s a BBQ grill? Happy 6th! (in 5 minutes) =]

What? A headshot? Kim K. Wouldn't have pulled such a stunt! Seriously though, hope you enjoy your summer.
