Stupid Red Boots Studio and Gallery
So what's so stupid about red boots? Not a thing! It was a name I was tagged with during my informative and tender years. My family changed their address when I was just a baby half way through my kindergarten year. Believing everything my parent had taught me so far in my life, that I was beautiful, fabulous, talented and everyone would want to be my friend, I was shocked to learn that Margaret would take an instant dislike to me simply because I wore red galoshes rather than the standard brown. She called me Stupid Red Boots and it stuck. I carried that moniker until grade two when Margaret's family moved and she went off somewhere to become the new kind on the block. That was my first experience with peer pressure and a bully. I held onto it for many years until I decided to turn it into a term of empowerment. Stupid Red Boots Studio and Gallery was formed when I realized I was just as beautiful, fabulous and talented as my now deceased parents said I was.
As for Margaret, thanks for the boost. I hope wherever you are, you realized just how great your magnificent self is and that only words of love and encouragement fall on your ears.
