was it after christina and the pussycat dolls thing?

don't remember. could have been.

but after i was done shooting and j was done with her pistacios...

well ... i dunno ... she may have not been eating pistacios ...

but ... she usually is.

no salt, thank you.

i like the salted ones.

whatever.

i have a friend who's a cardiologist.

perhaps she doesn't.

anyway ... when i made this photo ... there were three, actually.

the first was when she wasn't looking.

like another photo i made of her when i was just getting to know her.

and ... since i know her quite well now ...

i know that she's funny as hell, acerbic, caring, more intelligent than most ...

but she's amazingly beautiful ...

and she sooo sooo sooo stands out in a crowd.

my little veal.

i just remembered when i met her ... she just stood out.

she lights up the room.

and she lights up my whole being when i see her.

and what's so funny ...

not funny ...

but ... she becomes more and more incredible to me every day.
