What I saw while driving to the grocery store

A young woman with :

• A tattoo sleeve
• Maroon hair
• Tight pink t-shirt
• Leopard print scarf
• Riding a Vespa with "Thrasher" spray painted on the side of it

She was SO awesome. I wanted to be her for an hour or two. I love it when the whole tough but girly look works ... and she had it down.

She turned into the parking lot of a tattoo parlor. Work perhaps? I drove on, still thinking about the tough girl in pink. A thought popped into my head. As a little girl, I loved watching reruns of Happy Days on TV. I was fascinated by Fonzy's girlfriend, Pinky Tuscadero. She drove cars in demolition derbies. She was tough. She wore pink leather. I wanted to be her ... and apparently, I still do.

PS : I loved her so much, that my dad called me Pinky Tuscadero instead of Kelley. It made me so happy.
