Going Off Script (30 page)

Photo shoot number two. I stole that belt from my sister’s closet.

My scoliosis in full effect. I’m standing up straight here.

My brother Pasquale’s photo shoot at fifteen with his Porsche. Baller.

Liz and me during senior year of high school. Are these the faces of thugs about to commit Grand Theft Auto?

In the DJ booth at St. Mary’s College. This is the week before I got fired. I should have stuck to Travolta sound tracks instead of 2 Live Crew.

With my sister, Monica. Our birthdays are three days (and five years) apart. Even as adults my mom went for the two-for-one birthday party.

I stole this Versace dress from my sister’s closet to wear to the Italian ambassador’s home. I had a conservative pantsuit on, but my dad insisted I dress more fashionably so I wore this hot number.
