...champagne cork in the back of the store today. Hidden away among piles of hangers, 4-way racks and empty UPS boxes. To anyone else, this would've been tossed into the trashcan without a second thought, but I immediately started smiling/laughing/crying and thought of the only person who would've cared...Pam, my boss and the owner of Pierce and Parker. The only person who was always pushing Happy Hour...everyday, and promised it was the only way to a productive day. The only person I could work with all day and party with all night, and never, not even for a second, get sick of her. A woman who has seen her share of ups and downs, but still manages to wake-up everyday with a smile on her face and hop in her step. Today, I would really like to take this cork and shove it up Breast Cancer's ass and kick him in the face for coming between The Duo (Morgan+Pam) and Pierce and Parker and actually thinking HE was gonna win. Today, Pam had her 3rd (of 5) chemo treatments, and I'm constantly amazed by her strength, optimism and overall zest for life during this trying period. She's amazing, and I think all women could learn a thing or two from her...and not just living life in the fabulous lane.
The Duo, Charleston, Late Summer 2008
