Everyone should own a boa.  We take ourselves too seriously.


Spontaneous Life Theater on Meeting the Self-Proclaimed 
"Queen of Queens"  Just an ordinary day in Astoria, Queens.

We met as she danced in the aisles of an Asian Market to the joy of everyone.  Everyone stopped to look, and breathe, and laugh with delight.  A very appreciative audience!  She told me she wanted to herald Spring and bring joy to people - her mission on earth - to make people laugh and enjoy life and wake up!  I'm not sure her dog was too crazy about the outfit and dye job, (I don't like the adornment of animals since they have no say in the matter)  but she is very loved and well cared for...my friend M. Surdej took the photo.  Thanks, M.
