My dear friend Alex just completed her Masters in Photography in London (big cheers!). A few weeks later she packed up and headed west, to San Diego. She’s settling in and has a running wish list: a proper job, new friends, and a lovely apartment to call her own. I wish I had a magic wand to make it all happen lickety-split. Since these things can take time, I’m sending Alex a letter of encouragement and this lovely chambray shirt. I hope she likes it!

Darling Palex,
I am so very proud of you—you and that Masters are big time! And such high marks too, what a superstar. I know someone will snatch you up in no time. While you’re waiting, take some photographs lady. My walls are longing for more of your work!
I know we’re both rotten at change, but I hope you can embrace your new city and grow to love it like you (now) love London. At least you’ll have more sunshine and brother along for the ride. Oh, and the French Toast at The Brockton Villa in La Jolla will cheer you silly. And if ever things get really grave, just put on the ruby red slippers and dance. It works every time!
I know good things are in store for you friend. I can feel it. Congratulations on your success and your new beginning! I am so excited for you!
Love,
Lola
P.S. The gum is for your new friends—everyone appreciates a friend who has gum, wink.
Tell your friend Palex about FIT gym in San Diego. My friend Coonie Cook runs the place and always has socials for members. She is a great person to know and to connect with in sAn Diego. Connie packed up and left Houston about 3 years ago and never looked back.
