With far less potential for action for me, unless I put on a lot of makeup, and pass as a drag queen.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Bioqueen! It's the hot new thing.

It's actually my favorite thing! I love to dress up with big hair and makeup and fancy dresses! Not that I do it, but.
Actually, it's like when I was talking to my friend about wedding stuff, and she was saying she thinks it's ridiculous to get hair and makeup done, because then you don't look like "you." But that's what I like about it! Fancy.

I would so love to bioqueen. But, it's like work, and I can not even manage to regularly wear any makeup other than lip gloss.

That's why the last time I had fancy hair and makeup was when it got done for me for my friend's wedding last year. Well, I had semi fancy makeup for my other friend's wedding last month, but only semi. No false eyelashes or anything.

And of course I can't do fancy hair without a wig...which is mostly just weird, not fancy.

I love this phrase. You have no notion how much I love this phrase.

You could have... glitter?
I used to work with a black woman with an afro that looked natural, if she had "good" hair (you know what I mean), but it turned out to be a perm -- a perm done on rods smaller than my pinky. Women are odd sometimes.

Won't really show.
Not that I've tried...but my hair basically acts like a glitter dispenser without looking any different.

I Jheri-curled but left out most of the special sauce. Because I was lazier than I was shallow. It gave me that good hair look too.
I cut it off anyway.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.
I'm giving Trent Lott props for his Daily Show appearance last night. He was really funny.
Jon Stewart's coverage of the Foley scandal had me rolling on the floor. "Worst phone sex operator ever!"
I was cracking up at "Every Breath You Take." Yes, I'll be stalking you even from BEYOND THE GRAVE....
It's not the risible Puff Daddy cover, is it?
My mother wanted The Rose at her funeral. It was a good choice.
I was at a British estate some years ago, which has been converted into a conference/festival space in Devon, and was touring it in the off-season just to see what a British estate used to look like. We were wandering the gardens and turned a corner, and whoops! Under a pine tree was the old family plot. The oldest gravestones we could read were from 1745, but there were quite a few we couldn't read.
Heh. Around the Rock of Cashel in Ireland, our tour guide pointed out that you could see the occasional centuries-old tooth that's now reached the surface. That was fascinating.
