So, Ren Faires. Fairly set on going to one at some point during the summer and I have Questions.

Have you been to the Tuxedo Park Ren Faire?

Twenty year old Lucille Ball in 1931.

I cured myself of shyness when it finally occurred to me that people didn’t think about me half as much as I gave them credit for. The truth was, nobody gave a damn. Like most teenagers, I was far too self-centered. When I stopped being prisoner to what I worried was others’ opinions of me, I became more confident and free.
