“The Grass Is Always Greener” Song Story by Christa Black
I was surrounded by models. Not model toys or planes. That would have been a bit easier than my situation. I had moved to New York City and somehow found myself thrown into a group of people that not only looked like Greek gods and goddesses, they were also paid big bucks […]

Excerpt taken from Chapter 3 of Christa Black’s book, God Loves Ugly: I got to my hotel in Washington D.C., dropped off my bags as quickly as I could, and headed out in full patriotic fashion to explore my nation’s capital. I only had several hours to wander before my gig […]
