Because in the beginning, when I refused her Skittle, she
didn’t take no for an answer.
Because of this song.
Because she talked me into skipping study hall and going
shoe shopping, and would always talk me into buying strange and outlandish
outfits. True story: I blame (and applaud) her for the red velvet leopard
dress.
Because when I wanted to do an impromptu fashion photoshoot
at the nudist beach she didn’t say no. In fact, she drove.
Because she has never missed a birthday, and her presents
usually come filled with glitter. I almost don’t mind the mess that said
glitter leaves everywhere.
Because she didn’t strangle me when I scooped this vintage
pair of Carlos Falchi heels right in front of her on a thrifting adventure.

Just because. Some things change, but my Aina will always be
the same. Maybe an older and more fabulous version, but still the same. Happy
birthday Duck, and here’s to the next 25!
