[Baby Lee]

1a. Friend of mine's little sister, if that's the proper term when he was 23 and she was 20 when we met. A paler, frailer iteration of Angie Seahorn nee Harmon. Worked that fine line between too skinny and skinny hot. And as we had the same sense of humor, we hung out a lot as actual friends without me coming off as that deluded hanger on. It was weird though to go out to bars and play pool or darts or just hang out, and there'd be every male eye in the place looking over with envy. Dunno if she was actually oblivious, but she sure played it that way.

1b. Secretary at first firm I worked at [actually started as an intern]. I can see objectively how she might come off as small town, WT, trying too hard, short and overtanned. But marthafocker she did it for me. She even had the 'Tina Fey scar' on her chin before Tina Fey, only hers came from hitting a telephone pole with her car. Biggest cringe, not sensing the situation, moment of my life was when she looked me up years later to hang on The Landing, and I stupidly asked some coworkers to come along, thinking [and here's a peek into my self esteem] my chances word spreading that I knew a hot girl at my new job was better for me than actually getting the hot girl [even though we'd had, moments, of intimacy in the past]. My luck, the coworkers were total asses, my plan worked 'better' than planned and they were drooling over her inappropriately all night, her getting up and dancing on the bar with the waitresses was a high/lowlight, when a couple of them shouted some moment killing come ons.

EDIT TO ADD: That's a wig in the pic, her actual hair is/was like when Halle Berry had her hair shorter.
