A birthday and a visitor

Today is Rexford G. Lambert’s birthday. That link will take you to his birthday photo.

In honor of the occasion, there was a special visitor to The Compound.

This is the closest thing to a smile I could get out of Hanley. She had a lot on her mind–especially the coffee date that was being delayed by my camera-wielding self.

Here, she’s intent on checking out the beaded embellishments her manny/tailor has added to her jean jacket. There are beads spelling out her name, “Upside down,” she explained.

Hello Kitty socks and pink-sequined shoes. As usual, to quote a favorite movie, Hanley is “my style guru.”

As they were leaving, I think I heard her call out, “Goodbye!” Or it could have been, “You’re fired!” Same/same.
