Current Rock of Residence:
Somewhere in the CaribbeanIsland Girl Since:
arrived in error, 2011Originally Hails From:
UKA frequently regretted, late night, red wine decision resulted in her arrival to the islands. She lives on one rock and commutes to work, by boat, to another rock. Her isolated hillside apartment has unrestricted ocean views. She’s a booty call for a scorching hot Rastafarian.

The Closet
The closet is full to bursting. Though not my closet, which is decidedly bare. The proverbial "closet'". The one where Martha lives wrapped up in a rainbow scarf, but Arthur won't let her out. If you ask a local about homosexuality, they will suck their teeth in...
One Love
I admit it. I am no longer a booty call. I am having an identity crisis. I run through the possibilities in my mind: Lover? Partner? Girlfriend? Wife? Nothing fits. I don't really have any real points of reference to go on either. Over the last 20 years, I have had a...
