photo of me dressed up in a white button-up shirt with a 1940s silk dark blue polka-dot tie with a tie clip and black wide legged pants with a 1930s heeled loafer. My hair is cropped short and styled in a pin curl wave that is swept back. I'm sitting at a bar stool at a deco themed bar leaning up against the bar while my fancy cocktail sits next to me... my attention is focused on the performers who you do not see in the photo.

pretty good candid shot of me 😌
