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
