◊ ♫ ◊— look what the cat dragged in! that’s ESTRELLA MONTERO and SHE is an around 27-year-old REGULAR to the store, but they’ve been in the neighborhood for 14 YEARS. I think they are a FILM DIRECTOR and I overheard them listening to WILDFLOWERS by TOM PETTY, and, I dunno man, it seemed pretty fitting. Like, call me shallow but I look at them and think of ANA DE ARMAS and BLONDE HAIR FLYING BY AS SHE RIDES ON HER BIKE, WATERCOLOR PAINTINGS, DANCING IN THE KITCHEN, & ICED COFFEE WITH EXTRA ICE.

Welcome to Fidelity Records! Is it your first time here?
Come on, I’m insulted, after all of these years?
Where are you from?
I’m from Santa Cruz del Norte, it’s a town in Cuba.
Cool, cool. Okay, so, not to be one of those people, but what’s your star-sign? Or zodiac sign, whatever you want to call it.
I’m surprised you haven’t guessed it yet with how long we’ve known each other. I’m a Leo. I know there’s more, a whole birth chart or something, but I’m a busy girl. I’ve never figured that out.
Fair enough. I’m a Pisces and, like, we’re known for getting our heartbroken. Anyone or anything break your heart lately?
No one breaks my heart, dude. I guess I understand why you wouldn’t know that since we aren’t best friends or anything but I hope that I project that essence.
Sorry to hear it. Well, we’re here for you. That’s why we have a bell over the door. Heard it helps with broken hearts because angels get their wings or some shit. I dunno. You got any weird superstitions?
Oh, loads. Namely, not putting my purse on the floor or else I’ll lose money and never take seashells from the sea, that’s super bad luck.
Thanks for humoring a complete stranger, my dude. You get a discount on whatever you buy if you tell me your favorite song.
My favorite song of all time, or my current favorite? Well, either way, my choice is Ciega, Sordomuda by Shakira.
