BUSTy Blegens

Hiyo!

After appearing in BUST last fall with Sweet Tooth of the Tiger, a renegade bake sale project based in Brooklyn, I was asked to write a piece for the "OLD SCHOOL" feature. Because I invoked Grandma at every bake sale--using her recipes, wearing her aprons, and giggling--it was a great opportunity to celebrate someone who's given me so much.

It appears in the Apr/May 2009 issue and is pretty self-explanatory. I included the crocheted "boobs and dinks" that appear above her; she made similar crafts: flower boobquets, boxer short aprons with a surprise inside, etc (I'll post photos and explanations later).

Shout out to Lisa Butterworth and the other classy ladies at BUST: I owe you cookies!
