Red High Tops

Red high top converse sneakers kept in pristine condition. Mostly because of the care Trini takes of her prized possession, partially when they are worn beyond repair she brings out another one of her red high top converse sneakers in reserve. Royal red. Which is a little brighter and lighter than blood red, Trini’s favorite color.

Trini is a 16 year old girl, only child, living with her attorney parents (Bob a civil litigator and Linda, an M&A attorney) on the upper west side. Far enough from time square as well as the snootiness of Park Avenue and the upper east side money. Both of her parents are from the midwest, so an excess of money was not something they grew up around or ever really felt comfortable with, but they do spare no expense when it comes to Trini, especially with her education and when she shows an interest. Initially it was in music so they got her a piano, guitar, violin and tickets to most any concert she wanted to see at MSG. When Trini realized music did not come naturally to her, she dropped most of the instruments. She still buys records in excess, but the instruments just sit in the corner collecting dust.

Then she picked up an affinity for art, so her parents bought her a subscription to the MET, Guggenheim, and whatever museum on the island they could subscribe to. Trini has stared at the Klimpt, Woman in Gold painting at the Neune Gallery more times than she can count.
