Pretty Ugly: Gavin Brown's Enterprise & Maccarone, New York

When you wake up in the morning, walk into the bathroom, and look at yourself in the mirror-raising the toothbrush to your stinking mouth-do you feel pretty or ugly? Dried drool in the eyes of the beholder. That must really sting. Breathe through the pain. It's alright. You are beautiful. It's true. I saw your face in a crowded place and I don't know what to do because I'll never be with you.
