In Your Own Words: Andrea Scherer, Rest In Peace 

Published March 2010 Vol. 14 Issue 3

Andrea Scherer, Rest in Peace

You know those things that just stop your breath and heart all at once? It doesn’t sit right, and it hurts, almost like time was just thrown on its head? On January 31, vendor and writer Andrea Scherer passed away, two days before her 21st birthday. She had many identities, but was called Rinu Narazuki by her street friends. Rinu began as a vendor in May, rolling up in her (temporary) wheel chair with her loud, yet smart, comments, alongside an actual pet cat, attached by a leash, sitting on the back of her chair. Rinu was a force of the universe; no one ever forgot meeting her. Funny, pensive and loquacious, she was a gifted author of poetry, stories and stream-of-consciousness writing. We published her story, “Mall Ride,” in the October 2009 issue. Rinu gave us such a strong and powerful literary voice, one that we tearfully have to announce ended way too soon. In memory of Rinu, we’re sharing with you one of the last things she submitted to us for publication.

<p>If you do not know how to mix their own, then let me recommend you a brand. The brand name is Marc Jacobs, it's the cards called Marc by Marc Jacobs. If you have a Marc by Marc Jacobs Handbag, Marc by Marc Jacobs Bags and Marc Jacobs Handbag, they make you look. Retention rates soar. Haha! Although they are just a bag, but they will make you confident, always maintain a good mood! We have their sales, if you like, you come to us! Thank you!</p>

Longchamp French brand as an authentic, how to understand the French descent and France? The brand is deeply rooted in French culture. They founded in France, their brand design, and their factory workshops, all in French, but if you ask women in their favorite French designer handbag is what I believe many people will tell you longchamp bags. Friends, to tell you longchamp sale in many countries are great. Best-selling, of course, longchamp Le pliage series. If you like, please pay attention to the brand.
