BFF, baby

She’s the most beautiful and brilliant dame I have ever known — and I have known many. There is no one remotely like her anywhere else in the universe and I am proud and privileged to call her my best friend. She is the one who so generously shared with me many of the greatest gifts I have been given in this life, including Sylvia Plath, William and Joanie Burroughs, and Robert Anton Wilson. She is the indispensable Ethel to my mischievous, pesky Lucy; together, over the years, we have frantically stuffed the cheese into the tuba more times than I could even begin to count. I, quite literally, would not be who I am today without her. She is a wonder.

In the words of the writer Paul Stolp…my best friend, Tania, makes the world a more magical place. She will always sit by my side at the table of The Moveable Feast that is my life — and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

About muffybolding

Muffy Bolding is a mother/writer/actor/knitter/feminist/withered debutante who likes the smell of asparagus pee, and remains obsessed with the bathroom hygiene of her three children -- despite the fact that they are 23, 19, and 16. She is blissfully married to a cute Jewish boy who looks like Willie Wonka, but remains tragically in love with the dead poet, Ted Hughes. She has the mouth of a Teamster, and her patron saint is Rocco (pestilence relief.) Ms. Bolding lives in Southern California, where she enjoys typing words, making movies, and plucking the rings from the fingers of the dead. She was the co-creator and Editor-in-Chief of the award winning satire zine, Fresno Lampoon, and in between writing screenplays, carnival barking, and savagely threatening her trio of darling larvae with a wooden spoon, she currently publishes the zine, "Withered Debutante." More of her work can also be found in the anthology, "Mamaphonic: Balancing Motherhood and Other Creative Acts", the compilation zine, "Mamaphiles III: Coming Home", as well as in The Cortland Review and hipmama.com. She is currently writing and producing for film and television, and working on a book of essays entitled, "Inside A Chinese Dragon." She has slept around, but not nearly as much as she would have liked.
