Dear Owen Wilson,
You are the object of desire for a many a female member of the hipster intellegentsia. This devoted group quotes your lines from Bottle Rocket, Royal Tenenbaums, and yes, even Zoolander. They wonder why you don’t do more nuanced thrillers like Minus Man.
Oh, Owen, these women don’t care about your nose, disturbing in its imperfection, yet so sexily compelling. They care about your wit, your talent, your Oscar nomination.
And so why, I ask, do you do those horrible Michelob Light ads? Suddently, you are the Yoda of frat boys, dispensing advice about how to get into this one or that one’s pants. Thank you for breaking the hearts of many girls who thought you an acceptable adult celebrity crush.
Feh!
Kate let it drip. The fluid ran across the counter, skiied over the lip, and coursed down the cabinet face. She paused and listened to the drops form a small pool. It sounds like a cat walking in snow, these drops falling together.
She put the knife down.
She put her lips to the fluid and lapped at it like a cat. The first taste of the coconut milk on her tongue made up for all the sticky cleaning ahead.
The name shall be Lavender Sweet.
