Lichtenfels
When I was four years old, my mother became quite alarmed that my "baby fat" was not going away. To solve this embarrassing problem, she got the brilliant idea of enrolling me in a dance studio. I would become a ballerina, and simply dance the flab off. So, I became the youngest - and fattest - kid ever to enroll in the Little Debbie Dance Studio in Erie, Pennsylvania. On one of my early trips to the studio, my father took a Polaroid of me in my tutu. It was the basis of one of the few self-portraits I have done. One can tell by my expression of exuberance that I had not yet been disabused of the notion that dancing was in my future.
