“I know you. You took my picture about 2 years ago?
“Oh yeah? Where?”
“In the Haight. It’s on a tote bag now and everything. The caption you wrote was ‘FRESH’.”
“I remember you…your name starts with a T…Telisa?”
“Good memory.”
“Well let’s take another picture, but this time you tell me a story too.”
“What kinda story?”
“Well how long have you lived here?
“3 years.”
“For awhile then, tell me your happiest moment and lock bottom living in San Francisco.”
“Rock bottom – I took a bad edible at Dolores Park once. It was 5 bucks. All my friends were jacked up, we went to Curry Up Now to eat. Ate, then took muni, I threw up all over the muni and it had to be closed.”
“That’s pretty hardcore.”
“It’s pretty low. I had to walk back form Dolores Park stoned. Can you even tell that story?”
“We can tell whatever type of stories we want.”
“And your high?”
“The high…I’d been modeling for years and out of nowhere I said ‘Oh, it’d be really cool if I had a show at the Minna art gallery’ and then my friend, who’s a wardrobe stylist that runs the show, asked me if I wanted to do it. Out of nowhere! My own wardrobe styling show!”
“When was that?”
“Last Saturday. I’m doing another one at Minna on the 20th of September. They’ve invited me back 3 times.”
“Where can I see your stuff?”
“I have a Facebook page called Mink & Kink.”
