Introducing Lola.

It all started at Starbucks, during my visit to Texas a couple of weeks ago. We ordered our drinks and Cathy asked us if we have 'coffee names.'  JJ and I hadn't heard of this concept so she explained that when asked for her name in coffee shops she says that her name is Kate....and apparently its not just her.  The idea is that you give a name easier to spell, or if you don't want your real name called out.  Well I don't really have an issue with either of these but Janet and I saw this as a chance to explore our alter egos.

Introducing Lola...

Lola lives in Paris where she can drink red wine, lots of black coffee, wear black all the time and smoke.  She spends her time in abstract loneliness but uses this to give depth to her art.  She works in bars and cafes but never long enough in one place for people to get to know her. Lola likes to read most of the day away, sometimes novels, sometimes history or philosophy, but she never speaks of her knowledge because she doesn't seek to impress but to understand.  Other days she just sleeps all day,only waking up to cook, drink and smoke, in black.

This is Lola, and this is who now collects my coffee.
