In my house they’re busy with the sewing machine. Bobbins are flying about as witches’ capes are readied. I’m dodging sewing needles and thread shooting from the machine like spider’s webs. It’s a homemade Halloween hootenanny. And I love it.
‘Star Wars’ tattoos and that fanatical force
It took me a couple moments to get what I was seeing — the girl with the “Star Wars” tattoo. They’ve become so commonplace, tattoos. So expected and ubiquitous that we hardly notice them anymore. Unless one is different, unexpected and on some level connects with us. I can’t remember the last time I saw someone with a character from “Star Wars” permanently etched on their body. This was a battle droid, and I must say … different, unexpected, and totally connected with me.
