Dr. Frankenfurter 2.0

[jpegghost]

 Thanks to everyone who supported me in the last post -- The hazing has gotten a little better this week. PHEW. Not much has happened lately, which I can appreciate.

I worked an event at a bar yesterday (ick) and it was pretty much whatever. A local thrift resale ... thing... owned by this nice queer guy was there, and we got along pretty well and he convinced me to try wearing pearls since I remarked that Tyler the Creator was wearing pearls in his "Corso" music video and I was envious he could pull that off. He told me that you can pull off anything with confidence.
Well, I tried.
And like the title says, I feel like I looked like Dr. Frankenfurter. It's kind of bizarre being a man in pearls, and I could tell that people were a little gender-confused, but honestly I kind of liked it. I like the juxtaposition of masculinity and light feminine aspects (though I'd never go so far as to wear a dress). I think I'm going to keep wearing them with my lady luck chain that Alex gave me ages ago. 

After the event I went to the 40th birthday party of an old neighbor of mine, Walter. Walt lived in the apartment above mine and we talked very regularly -- his wife organized a whole event and wanted us to come over since as she said "We survived the hood together". I didn't consider it the hood, but considering all the prostitution, shootings, robberies ... Maybe it was.
ANYWAYS I zydeco danced with my old neighbors and drank like 5 cups of a rum punch. I was feeling it by the end of the night and ended up crawling into bed. I just got up and I have a mild hangover but it was fun >:)

I have a funeral tonight for a tattooer in our area that got murdered. I didn't know him but I'm going to support my mentor, who was kind of like his tattoo "older sister". It's BYOB so I'm going to just bring a 2L of Topo Chico lollllll you ain't gonna catch me near alcohol I'm SPENT

I think Dr. Frankenfurter is a good look, so I guess you can't go by my interpretation. I like jewelry on men, and I think pearls would be fairly low key, so long as it's not a long, flapper style, rope of pearls with a knot in it.

I wore them at the funeral last night and got quite a few compliments. They're thankfully not long -- they just barely peeked beneath my collar, right where the knot of a tie would be. I can't imagine going any longer haha

Ain't nothing wrong with looking like Frank sometimes! LOL! And I'm glad the hazing is better! And it sounds like you had fun last night, I'm glad. Hope you do okay at the funeral tonight.

The funeral was alright! I didn't know the guy, but it was still pretty sad. There was drama there, of course, but I was uninvolved and dipped after the service to watch Princess Mononoke instead lol Once the beer and tequila started flowing hard I knew it would get intense

[amejisuto]

That makes sense. No need to get dragged into more drama. Glad everything went as well as it could!

I always thought Franknfurter looked pretty fabulous and kudos for wearing pearls just because you like them. <3 Glad to hear the hazing is getting better, I hope it continues to wane and you have fewer issues with it. The party for your old neighbor sounds like a blast; glad you got to go and have some fun.

I think I looked pretty fabulous after I got over the paranoia that people would think I was crossdressing or something. I got a few compliments at the funeral so I think I'm going in the right direction. It was! God Cajuns are intense people tho lol they danced and partied way longer than I could have

[alee_grrl]

I think people are finally loosening up over things like guys wearing jewelry, which is awesome. And yes, Cajuns know how to party. I certainly can't keep up with them. lol
