Strike a Pose

“We’d spent that year begging Dylan to get a haircut, to no avail, but I convinced him to tie his hair back into a ponytail with one of my own elastics for the prom. He put his prescription glasses in his pocket and donned a pair of small-framed sunglasses. We thought he looked very handsome.

Alison, our renter, came over and offered to take a picture of the three of us. In the picture, Dylan is clowning around, hamming it up like a professional model, Zoolander-style. The sharp lines of his formal wear stand in stark contrast to the faded flannel shirts and worn blue jeans Tom and I are wearing.

He kept his sunglasses on as he posed with us; he wore dark glasses often during the last weeks of his life. I believe now he was hiding behind them.”

  1. Hello! I saw where you’ve made a post about your new Tumblr account, which I am so excited for you!!! But I can’t find it on Tumblr, and even searched the name up to which I had no luck to 😔. (Unless I am clearly missing something, forgive me please) but what is it I need to search on Tumblr to find your account? If this is too frustrating or confusing to you, I am sorry to waste your time. I hope you are doing well by the way! 😊

    1. Hey, not the OP but it isn’t actually Tumblr, but rather a new platform callled newtumbl which was created after the banning of NSFW content on Tumblr.

      The link to EC’s new tumbl blog is contrast.newtumbl.com/post/15353638-uhsEdt. Hope this helps.
