As much as I'm happily anticipating the grandiose uptown parades, which start this Friday, I have come to truly appreciate the charming intimacy of the smaller krewes. Last Friday, Krewe Bohème graced the streets of the Faubourg Marigny and French Quarter. Many thanks to all the participants who shared their joie de vivre on this delightful evening.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><br /></p>

She was expected at an early age to entertain. She danced with her family band as they performed in Jackson Square in New Orleans, the underground subways of New York City, and traveled with two Mexican circuses. Whenever she wanted to call it quits, her father would tell her “The Big Time” was just around the corner.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">I’ve been friends with Ingrid for over twenty years and have heard many wild stories of her unconventional upbringing. The last book I read was her mother’s memoir, <u>Baja Journey</u>, which offered great insight into Ingrid’s earliest days. <u>The Big Time</u> is the rest of her story.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Through letters, essays, poems, and many photographs, Ingrid shows the unique perspective of the world she was born into and how it continues to shape the person she is today. Against her father’s advice, she pursued a career as a vocalist and became a bandleader in New York City in her early twenties. Her career progressed, but something held it back each time ultimate success seemed imminent. She returned to New Orleans with a husband and a child on the way. For decades, she traveled the world for gigs. She wrote songs, recorded CDs, and performed in many venues. Yet alcohol, an occupational hazard in that industry, became a problem and nearly killed her.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Without bitterness or self-pity, she chronicles in honest detail her struggles with the substance, rehab, and eventually a liver transplant. Her humor, openness, bravery, and extreme gratitude shine throughout this memoir.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Like her song, “Lucky Girl,” Ingrid Lucia has been fortunate.

Knowing of Ingrid’s unconventional upbringing, I was intrigued to gain more insight into her origin story. My chance came when I acquired Pearlman’s memoir, <u>Baja Journey</u>. I opened the book a day after returning from Puerto Vallarta, the magic and mystery fresh in my mind, and was delighted that Pearlman’s expedition began in Mexico. Far from the circumstances of my recent getaway, hers began with hitchhiking through Baja in the late 1960s.<o:p></o:p></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 24px; margin: 0in; text-align: start;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">She chronicles her travels throughout Mexico, San Francisco, Las Vegas, Southwestern deserts, New York, and New Orleans. Some of these are with just David, Ingrid’s father, and others with a group of travelers. Children, including Ingrid, are born along the way. Yet, this is much more than a travelogue. The exploration of her adventure extends far beyond the locales and even beyond the lifespan of her relationship with the enigmatic David.

We never met in person, but we followed one another on Twitter. She was also a writer and photographer in New Orleans. We often congratulated each other on artistic accomplishments. Anyone who followed her was aware of her stage-IV colorectal cancer. Christy had survived it for over four years, but then in August, she was struck with the prognosis of only six months left to live. She passed away on November 29, 2022.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">The first story I read about cancer was "I Want to Live" by Thom Jones. It was visceral in detailing a woman's treacherous battle from cancer diagnosis to her inevitable death. I didn't seek out this wretched tale; it was included in <u>Gotham Writers' Workshop Fiction Gallery</u>. It shocked and haunted me, but it was <i>fiction</i>.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">I did seek out Christy Lorio's <u>Cold Comfort</u> (Belle Point Press, 2022). It is a collection of fourteen nonfiction essays with stark b&w companion photographs. I had it for about a week, but I was busy with work and family matters. Then, I got a cold. The downtime and potential pun of the title had me reach for <u>Cold Comfort</u>. As I sucked on a zinc lozenge, I became privy to the torture of Christy's various procedures, treatments, and the side effects she had to endure. I felt ashamed for pitying myself for a mild inconvenience I would probably get over in a day or so. Guilt sunk in as I contemplated how such a talented, creative person ten years younger than me was dealt this death sentence. Unlike the short story by Jones, I didn't want this book to end, and mostly I didn't want her to die.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">Yet, for those of you who may think this is a solely tragic read, it isn't entirely sad. Christy's quest for joy, her poignancy in acceptance of her fate, and her humor permeate these essays. It is not all about death. Christy Lorio reminds us how to live. Thank you, Christy.</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;">*</span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: large;"><i>A portion of each copy of <a href="https://bellepointpress.com/products/cold-comfort" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Cold Comfort</a> sold goes directly to Christy Lorio's family.</i></span></p><p style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: times; font-size: medium;"><br /></span></p>Kristin Fouquethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12719699758368292149noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2502153124711542736.post-22279784955781565062022-12-09T08:12:00.001-08:002022-12-09T08:12:26.190-08:00TWENTY STORIES back in print!<p style="text-align: center;"></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/540662029/twenty-stories" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj57E_ugVWEhQpW0ntBpP3j9R72sqd4zRGNbT3BpCAntagYXsgsI_ULG9yTd9lQaHWFqVOM4Ju_QJCQhvpcBvv0dm8dsCibAqAF9diDZYu68cuhc_whINi_XB9NajWLRFT_WPZlYWuw7ZMc1gBxobLSq8OpFdt5tC6hWys9YELF70o0kvDch5mDrgskyQ/w480-h640/TwentyStoriesOriginalCover.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /> <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicuvaStfGnr2WEUggXAHBSOa3EEUuYt0T_sYnkolkbg4NdhEmWw9VAHWxVcYoMAqZ7gK7fml4OjP_DMp0fd5AItUUORSOjxNWDvDTrPmllOA7tccKA1S4otrVezM58jygF8dkT2zntRJxk4pIPg-Zhw9rx1pVcSyNqC6AfJxYL0UyECwv1sc9fZJLJ_w/s952/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-12%20at%205.43.18%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="494" data-original-width="952" height="333" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEicuvaStfGnr2WEUggXAHBSOa3EEUuYt0T_sYnkolkbg4NdhEmWw9VAHWxVcYoMAqZ7gK7fml4OjP_DMp0fd5AItUUORSOjxNWDvDTrPmllOA7tccKA1S4otrVezM58jygF8dkT2zntRJxk4pIPg-Zhw9rx1pVcSyNqC6AfJxYL0UyECwv1sc9fZJLJ_w/w640-h333/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-12%20at%205.43.18%20PM.png" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTWuLNJx7HMs46wzbaxKJh4oIbliTqiu2AEZ76ojCUNm2cv0LXHGzzNN7PavEVBPzz2MrZ1w_rOaeQMI-z4ns3Ywnq6Z_bNHtwe5Yask6rpkL6bdATwmZeLFJA8-kj09RQz8-TfaKIVZTm95q3Zz2NwmpFG7Iy7PCNr4Ep0y2_20pg9edYenxITsU7xQ/s1618/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-12%20at%205.41.19%20PM.png" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1618" data-original-width="1018" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhTWuLNJx7HMs46wzbaxKJh4oIbliTqiu2AEZ76ojCUNm2cv0LXHGzzNN7PavEVBPzz2MrZ1w_rOaeQMI-z4ns3Ywnq6Z_bNHtwe5Yask6rpkL6bdATwmZeLFJA8-kj09RQz8-TfaKIVZTm95q3Zz2NwmpFG7Iy7PCNr4Ep0y2_20pg9edYenxITsU7xQ/w402-h640/Screen%20Shot%202022-10-12%20at%205.41.19%20PM.png" width="402" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><div><span style="font-size: large;">Available at <a href="https://www.etsy.com/listing/540662029/twenty-stories" target="_blank">Le Salon Shop</a></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">And <a href="https://a.co/d/8XizNyi" target="_blank">Amazon</a></span></div></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><p></p>
