BELA MADUREIRA DIED.

I just found out that Isabel Madureira died.

My darling, dear friend Bela. 
Through the vissicitudes of the internet, her sister sent me something on Facebook and while I was having my hair cut I got the horrid news.

The really rotten part about this is my birthday is about to happen.

In about three hours.

The timing is the sort of thing Bela would have enjoyed, in her own twisted way.

Because Bela Madureira was, well, a really, really wonderfully twisted sister.
I am torn in two.
My birthday heart is broken.
Amen, and if Bela was here, she'd want a LOT of mustard.
