Day 152/365--Childhood Memories
As a child, I LOVED playing dress-up!! My grandmothers would let me try on all of their old dresses and hats, and I remember invading my mother's closet and finding the white peep-toe heels she wore on her wedding day in 1978. My maternal grandmother used to let me play with her make-up if I organized it for her, and she gave me all of this wonderful old costume jewelry from the 1950's and 60's. I LOVED it!I think I have always been 100% girl. Yes, I run everyday and I can yell louder than your brother at a Braves' game, and it only takes me 3 minutes to do make-up, BUT I'd much rather be wearing a dress than pants, I belt opera at the top of my lungs in my car, and I'm an Random tidbit: I LOVE lipstick...like, I'm kinda' addicted to it. Sometimes, I get super brave and wear bright red if I'm going out with the girls....but no matter, I HAVE to have it on. It kicks my self-esteem up a few notches :)
absolute hopeless romantic. And even though it only takes me 3 minutes tops to apply my make-up everyday, I never leave the house without it. I also prefer pink and high heels and have always had a mad crush on Cary Grant :)

Ralph
He is one of Hamburg's St.Pauli true faces. Ralph is homeless since 1988, originally born in the old DDR part of Germany and crossed the forbidden border when he was younger. He has two daughters which he haven't seen in over ten years...Due to our social system in Germany, he could rely on financial support but his free will is not to take any money from the state. He sees himself as a son of the streets and so far travelled to over 23 countries where he has lived and worked (e.g. the south of France where he helped collect the grapes for the wine)....

walking in my shoes
Now I'm not looking for absolution
Forgiveness for the things I do
But before you come to any conclusions
Try walking in my shoes
Try walking in my shoes
You'll stumble in my footsteps
Keep the same appointments I kept
If you try walking in my shoes
If you try walking in my shoes
sleepy time down south.
