Blue Grotto
Dec 3rd, 2010 by Ashley
Recently I’ve lost my interest in nail polish and perfume and skin care, which were my obsessions a while back. I felt adrift and in dire need to hold onto something. Listening to the Thirteenth Tale, I abandoned my plan to clean up the room, pulled out my bucket of colors, fingering thru my options and settled on Blue. “A way to represent” I thought, “Up the Chels.” Cheering silently, I layered on the base coat and opened Blue Grotto. The smell of chemicals somehow comforted me and the idea of that startled me a little. What have I become of? I dare not to fathom. And then I realized I never really know what a blue grotto is. Turned out it’s a sea cave that beams eerie blue in light. And one is in Croatia. And I thought my life is on a permanent hold that it’s not going A.N.Y.W.H.E.R.E, certainly not Croatia, or, Hrvatska if you wanna get fancy. I’m gonna rot in this hellhole that reeks of mediocrity.
