Have you ever noticed how everyone was something spectacular in their “past life”? I have yet to meet anyone who wasn’t a prince, an Egyptian sex goddess, or general in the Roman army. Please. I’m still waiting for someone to tell me that they felt energy at a turn of the century toilet in Paris — that they know they were there, a hundred mystical years ago. Me? I feel my chakras are aligned with a mug I’ve had since high school, pictured above next to the blueberry pancakes. The painting, by Henri Marie Raymond de Toulouse-Lautrec (try screaming that in bed…apparently, the man had hypertrophied genitals) is entitled,  Ambassadeurs: Aristide Bruant dans son cabaret. I believe I was the man with the red scarf, standing so erect with eyebrows to die for… either that or I was banging him day and night. To each his own. Get in tuned with your past life with these blueberry pancakes.
