"well-bred and mature and out of her mind"

Haven't shown any self-portraits in a while,
so...here ya go...for auld lang syne...
and stay tuned for some snaps from
this weeks quick trip to Napa...

Name this tune, sort of

Haven't had a giveaway for ages. . . the prize this time will be an SF image artist's apron, PLUS a big bunch of mixed-media material - the highest quality, of course.
To be eligible, you must complete one tiny task. Name the book (and its author) where this page opens the chapter which follows it. If you think you know, go ahead and guess. Need a clue? A clever query is "easier than you think".
The deadline will be eh, it's summer, so say sometime next week.

SF Goodhair

Photobooth after I took an inch or so off my own hair. It was the urge of a moment.

"Almost cut my hair.
It happened just the other day.
It was getting kinda long.
Could have said it was in my way..."

Actually, I did say that.

I could be back any second now. . .

Trina wears her wampum beads

She fills her drawing book with line
Sewing lace on widows' weeds
And filigree on leaf and vine
Vine and leaf are filigree
And her coat's a secondhand one
Trimmed with antique luxury
She is a lady of the canyon
Joni Mitchell, 1969
