Pretty Ugly
July 10 – August 29, 2008
Gavin Brown’s enterprise
Maccarone
When you wake up in the morning, walk into the bathroom, and look at yourself in the mirror—raising the toothbrush to your stinking mouth— do you feel pretty or ugly? Dried drool in the eyes of the beholder. That must really sting. Breathe through the pain. It’s alright. You are beautiful. It’s true. I saw your face in a crowded place and I don’t know what to do because I'll never be with you.
