Beauty is in the mind.....




Which one is more beautiful? Karen Black or Clothilde Arroyo? I vote for Clothilde but only since I gave her a micro loan through Kiva. What a fantastic hat. Couldn't get away with that on Irving Park Road.
But Karen Black is fabulous for other reasons. I just watched "Easy Rider". The tripping scene is amazing. Dennis Hopper is so great and Peter Fonda is SO cute. Too bad that they did not have Clothilde for that scene in the graveyard.
Kiva is a site for micro loans that you can make for men and women who are trying to get by on subsistance wages in the third world. I have made a total of 7 loans in the past two years and each one of them has been paid off in full. For a mere $25 you can help a laundress in Azerbajan, a fish salesman in Ghanna, a consotrium of charcoal saleswomen in Kenya, a farmer in Samoa... It is the best $25 you will ever spend and you will get it back and be able to loan it to someone else. What a concept!
Go now! KIVA.ORG You won't regret it.
