My girlfriend Terry Acebo Davis is an artist and arts administrator in Palo Alto. This backlit beauty I snapped shortly before take off when we were returning from our New Year’s trip to Santa Fe.
Here is an older link to a show she did a few years back, called “Diwata.”:

I clipped an am meaning to delve into this article in Times about poetry and especially Chicago’s Aimee Nez_____, who also reminds me of my friend there Anna Fermin.
I don’t feel so bad about lazily abbreviating Aimee’s part-Phlip, part South Indian story because she does it herself here:

Terry bought me the 2011 Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue and pointed out that it was shot in the Philippines, in Boracay.

apropos of whatever Terry shows me her copy of “Pinay Power: Peminist Critical Theory” by Melinda L. de Jesus, which uses her “Dahil Sa Iyo” as cover illustration. “Dahil Sa Iyo” is a Pilipino love song that Imelda made famous.
Buy this! Terry gets a nickel for every sale (minus my 20 percent commission). We were sussing “It Hurt Me So” by Charlie Rich, as covered by my childhood friend Hershel Yatovitz and Chris Isaak.
