Pamela is one of the most ambitious artists I know, she currently is working to publish her comic, start a fashion line, co-ordinate fashion shows for herself and other artists and still managing to hold down a job as the most intriguingly dressed produce girl you will ever lay eyes on. She maintains 2 FB profiles, three web-sites, a myspace page and a very prolific deviantART profile. Somehow in between all that she's currently learning to play accordion.
In short, she is one of those people who will make you look lazy by comparison no matter what you do.
Also, she thinks she looks ugly in this picture. Tell her she's pretty, then yell at me for only taking one picture of anything ever. This is what I get for using film cameras for awhile before going back to my digital: film saving ways.
Pamela and I are high school friends AND college buddies. We graduated in the same Finlandia University class (woo! 2010!) and are both beginning our careers in art at the same time, so we hadn't seen each other all summer even though both of us still live in town! We decided to remedy that today and met for tea at the Four Seasons Tea Room.
I had their Lapsang Souchong, which has a smoky flavor to it (some might compare it to a fishy flavor). Since I'm trying to shed a pound or two that may have crept on over the summer, it was a perfect choice because it's best without cream or sugar, unlike English or European tea blends which are made for the addition of milk. I also indulged in their Chopped Vegetable Salad which has garbanzo beans/chick peas in it, très yum. You don't really want to mix sweets with a smoky tea, it definitely goes much better with savory items. Probably the best tea to accompany beef jerky ~_^
