gender update!

I’m a girl now! Yes, I sure did check immediately after I posted an article all about my hair. I wanted to see if it would tip the balance. Apparently, I’m somewhat gender neutral, though. Only 57% woman. Ohh boyyys… that’s right, I’m more than fifty percent lady. Get in line!

I may not have much, but I have great hair

I love YouTube. Do you know what I did last night? I watched YouTube videos on how to do my hair like a forties pin-up. And then I did it. What did I even do before the Internet? Clearly, I didn’t do awesome things with my hair. 
I’ve also watched a bunch of videos on how [...]

don’t they know spinsterhood is in?

I should make certain members of my family read this article. Since having hit the age at which my mother was not only married, but had popped out her first kid, I’ve been getting sidelong looks at family dos. I’M in no rush, and it looks like science is finally on my side (as opposed [...]

belles and balds at the ball

Last night, Antonia, Joanne and I dolled ourselves up and went to the Capitol Event Theatre for the tenth annual Fireball. We danced up a storm–note: bouncing around to “Home for a Rest” and “Tub-Thumping” is disastrous for your average elegant up-do.
Speaking of hair, there was a noticeable lack of it on some of the [...]

probably should have started breaking in these shoes sooner

As I previously mentioned, I’m going to a ball tonight! It’s a charity thing, and I’m not really anticipating there to be a glut of Prince Charmings there, but you never know. I’ll tell ya, I feel a lot like a Disney princess right now. I’m wearing boxers, a torn sweatshirt, and elegant heels while heating [...]

if I’m a guy, I’m missing some equipment

My good friend Peter has recently informed me that the Internet thinks I’m a man. Apparently, if you use this blog’s address in the Gender Analyzer, I come over all male. We had a brief discussion about whether or not the Internet thinks I’m gay because I talk about dating men; it pleases me that the criteria [...]

if I could get a Vespa with a sidecar, does that count as a family vehicle? no?

Last week, I went on a lunch date with an ex-army guy currently studying at Trinity, who came from a ranching background out West. Now, I am no hippy, but I am something of a free-spirit, and I’m definitely a left-wing, atheist city girl. So you can imagine how well that went.
He pulled out the hoary [...]

I don’t own Marilyn-esque shoes, anyway

I had originally planned to go to FastLife’s Halloween party as Marilyn Monroe, but a last minute mental picture of what I’d look like as a blonde changed my mind. So instead, I hauled out a bell-bottomed denim jumpsuit (nevermind why I own one), feathered my hair, and layered on some blue eyeshadow. I have [...]

a little TOO much Halloween fun

The problem with no longer being 21 is that hangovers last allll day. I’ll tell you all about it later; I need to regrow some brain cells and get back on speaking terms with my liver first.
