Boot Up!
My hard-working Sartore engineer boots – for a which a certain friend made fun of me when I bought them because he said they were exactly like work boots he wore when he was young (I know he didn’t miss the irony of the fashion statement, he just likes to give me a hard time) – have met with an industrial accident.

Cloud of Chaos was born from my desire to dance with the absurdity of life, to create a space where I could write and share all of the gorgeous, fun, snarky deliciousness I find spinning around me every day. What does a spinning cloud of chaos have to do with writing? Everything, as it turns out.
