happy PURIM to my JEW BOO’S! the holiday that commemorates the deliverance of the JEWISH people form the PERSIAN EMPIRE. i was first told about this holiday by some ISRAELI friends in art school at SVA. apparently, my name VASHTIE is related to QUEEN VASHTI who can be found in the BOOK OF ESTHER in the bible – although, i am not named after her.
as the story goes (or how it’s usually interpreted) QUEEN VASHTI was married to KING AHASUERUS (king of PERSIA) and he liked to show off her beauty to the people. one night he called for her to show her beauty (naked), she declined and he replaced her with QUEEN ESTHER.
to some she is a HEROINE and to others she is just the trailer before QUEEN ESTHER came in and stole the show.
KING SOLOMON, my jewish hubby, just reminded me! he got that nickname of “husband” because when i lived with his best friend KUNLE, he would come over and order me around to make him food or get him a beverage! those were the days!

**"Home for Purim" from "For Your Consideration" (sorry to geek out but I just watched it yesterday & it cracked me up)
"Conversate", is not a word in the English language. In fact, non of the above even resembles English. The language just dumbs down the subject matter and erodes any kind of credibility despite what legitimate ideas may be behind the language.
