Our Favorite Friend - Curious


This is our friend. Her name, like every other one in our blog (with the exception of mine and Dawn's) has been changed. Our kids call her Aunt Curious, so we'll go with that. As you can see, she is stunningly beautiful - 1000 watt smile, wild hair, amazingly thoughtful and spiritual tattoos.



It's quite perfect that this photo shows the safety pin holding up her pants. At her core is a recycle sign. She is amazingly responsible and environmentally aware. As I wrote that last line, I found myself cringing because its sounds so cliche and trendy. She's not on the Green Band Wagon - She was Green when Green wasn't cool.

She's a Vegetarian. She's been Totally Clean for 2 years now. She's a Fabulous Mother, an Attentive Daughter, and a Thoughtful Friend.

Joy spills from her. She walks around in a puddle of light.

When we went to Jazz Fest, she kept our kids so we were shopping for a gift for her. We found a group of ladies with these amazing tapestries and linens that were made by African Women and Girls as part of a Cooperative. All of the proceeds were to go right back to the Cooperative. It was the PERFECT Curious gift! The lady helping us choose a piece for her asked who we were buying for. Without thinking at all, I said "The friend of ours that's keeping our children. She's going to love this and the project that it comes from. She's this amazing woman - totally pure of heart and soul." Dawn looked at me wide-eyed. She said, "That was the perfect way to describe her. How lucky are we that we have a friend that we can describe like that?"



She wants a Girlfriend. A real relationship with a real person with real feelings and real intentions about a future together. She is tired of the dating world, the bar scene and the unholy hell that is match.com.

So yes, this is me pimping my friend. Anybody know anybody perfect for her? Curious doesn't have any money to speak of, so the lucky lady has to be willing to travel. But honestly, look at her. It's well worth the trip.

Anybody? Anybody?

  2. She has such a sweet smile! I hope you guys have luck pimping her out. If the lesbian dating scene sucks anything like the straight dating scene, that blows.

  3. The Wife and I fell right in love with her too. She's what you wrote plus a million smiles more. Another reason why we heart Florida.

  6. It has just come to my attention that I may have unintentionally mislead you about her. She's not "Curious" in that she has never had a lesbian relationship. She has. She's fluid, sexually. Our kids call her Curious because when we met her the papooses were just that, and couldn't pronounce her name which sounds a little bit like "curious" if you're a little kid who LOVES Curious George. Just to clear things up.

  8. Does she really look like Holly Hunter??
    I'm sure that she's SO much younger than I, that incest laws would come into play...but she is a beautiful person inside/out...You are a great friend, Windy. She's lucky to have you.
