This short clip from a 1985 public access TV interview conducted by Julia Masi amazes me because I was sort of cute, I was divinely dressed (that floral top is so hot I’d give anything to still have it in my possession), and most of all I seem so relaxed.
I don’t come across as nearly the neurotic, nervous, angsty mess I am now!
I wish I could remember how I hid my craziness better back then.
I think it’s because I had two drinks every night, then woke up at noon, still wearing my sunglasses.
I nightclubbed all night, then spent the following day in a hazy twilight that existed mainly to prepare me for the next round of partygoing.
When I taped this, I must have been struggling to find my way back to the normalcy of the day, so my dazed-ness translates as a relaxing calm.
Even the scarf doesn’t come off all that affected.
It seems cute!
And relaxed!
If I could turn back ti-ime…
