maybe i was overstating that then! i just have a soft spot for people who are different or even disabled - i used to be a social worker for people with disabilities for many year, i'm a big proponent of civil rights here in the us and i value diversity. in fact, one of my best friends is a wonderful former co-worker who happens to be a quadriplegic... yet she's quite the fashion plate and carries around an authentic chanel while zipping around in her motorized wheelchair

she was in my wedding party along with four other gals i love: a filipina, a jewish sister in law, a black and lesbian friend from grade school and a cousin who's been a sister to me. i couldn't have been blessed with more amazing and loving friends and relatives.
