Forget about hot dates, meeting guys, a glamorous life. I hated working in high fashion retail stores where the sales clerks treated you like a mannequin who could take orders. They were quick to tell you that your make-up was all wrong, that you looked awful, you were late: "were you out late, dearie?" and that you obviously had gained a few ounces in the wrong places. Photo shots in glamorous places? Only for the top ranked ladies--all dedicated and working their tails off for the dubious honor of being envied and adored.reluctantscholarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06194086998106104586noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2380955397193955045.post-59985368327723769502014-02-18T10:59:32.107-08:002014-02-18T10:59:32.107-08:00Really well-told memoir/story.

The shot you're referring to is taken at dusk from the intersection of Hill and Sanchez Streets, on the edge of Noe Valley. It's not taken from Bernal Heights. But I've got Bernal Heights stories, too. Like the one where I was grocery shopping at the Safeway at 29th and Mission and a voice came over the loudspeaker: "Will the person who owns the Great Dane and the monkey please return to your car. They are loose in the parking lot." Sure enough, it was an urban rodeo where all the customers helped with roundup. Capuchin monkey and harlequin Great Dane. So much fun!
