Tucson Gem Show

My new friend Hayley just went to the gem show in Tucson, which is this huge annual event. There's giant chrystals and fossils and diamonds at literally dozens of venues all around town. She has three gem vendors from Conneticutt staying in her little apartment. They get drunk every night and gossip about the bead bitch community- it is like Christmas and New Years put together for them. Anyway, this is good for Hayley because she gets to go to the gemshow for free, and things are like, crazy cheap there, and she bought all kinds of mad things to put into the holes in her ears, nipples and nose. Um, I'll be straight up- I don't have much to say about this- the writing is just preamble to these pictures, which came about when Hayley was all, 'check out all the beads I got at the dollar tent!"
Friends, Family, Strangers:
Enjoy
ps: we were in our swimsuits because Hayley has an outdoor pool and hot tub in her condo. take THAT, east Vancouver!
