NADINE
"Good things come to those who wait and also…nothing is impossible, anything is possible, if you think it,
you can be it and, so this tattoo is symbolic of all of that."
At first glance, Nadine seems easy enough to explain. Boston area native, ‘B’ tattoo on her back. Hmm,
wonder if she likes the Sox? Well, she does but welcome to life outside the “bubble,” where nothing is as
simple as it seems.
“Everything I do has a way different and deeper meaning for it.”
The ‘B’ is also about family. Every year right before her birthday, she gets treated to a Red Sox game
during play-off crunch time. “I don’t see him that often so…it represents time spent with my dad.”

Being a Boston native has, for a century, meant that your life will be intertwined with the Red Sox, whether
you like it or not. Friends, family and lovers all share this common thread. The details are different, but
every single person has a story of some sort.
“When I used to live with my grandmother, when I would come home from work she would have supper
ready for us to eat because; who likes to eat alone? That kind of sucks, so she would wait until I came
home from work; and we would have dinner together. We would discuss the game from the night before.
She would be like, ‘Oh, Big Pappi got a homer!’”
Nadine has traveled far and wide. She has gone across the country and outside of it to break free of the so-
called “bubble” in which people tend to get themselves trapped. But, there is something about her city that
always calls her back
Ask the people she grew up with about what they did last weekend and you’ll get a laundry list of the same
mundane activities that are an exact copy of the same mundane activities of the weekend before, “we went
to this bar, we watched these shows.” But Nadine is different. She sees life as something very distant from
the common Townie slop. She’s always looking for a new experience or something else to see, but no
matter where she goes or what she does, Boston is still there and she always ends up missing it.
For her, everything that happens, good or bad, is a learning experience and it's all for a reason. She is
completely full of life, an expert at karate kicking the air, a self-proclaimed dance floor diva and is
constantly going way out of her way to be Crazy Nice because Nice Matters.
“Life isn’t about finding yourself it’s about creating yourself.”
