| Introduction | Up until the age of 4, I had two imaginary friends- Bodice and Beem-Beem. I’m pretty sure I came up with their names when I was watching my Great-Grandmother getting dressed. She was putting on a brassiere, or something like that, and I think used the word “bodice.” I should have realized then that breasts down to my navel would one day be my fate too, but instead my imagination soared and the word “Bodice” stuck with me. Shortly thereafter, “Bodice” was my new “best friend” along with her “Cousin Beem-Beem.” My imaginary friends were my biggest fans. I sang Dionne Warwick love songs to them, and told them stories using words I didn’t even know the meaning of. But one day, my mom noticed I stopped “playing” with them and asked me what happened to them. I told her ever so casually that, “Bodice moved to New York to be an actress, and Beem-Beem went with her.” And that was the end of that. Now, with my own bodice wrapped around my very saggy (breastfeeding) beem-beems, I think of my imaginary friends fondly and know that their spirit will always be with me. And with a new baby, sleep deprivation has taken my imagination and story-telling to a whole new level... |
