Friday! leaked.loved.lights. by Kari Devereaux
Remember that one time with that one photo where I brought up Kari Devereaux? If you’re in the Bay Area this Friday night, you should join me and Sex+Design et al. at The Summit (780 Valencia @19th, San Francisco) from 8 PM—>12 AM for her new show, “leaked. loved. lights.” It’s gonna be pretty hot, you guys. Just a peek, now… (ps: The lady with the fiery...

1. On the last morning, we spent too much time laughing ourselves to tears over the toe sock/fingerless glove situation.
2. On that first night I was all in black. Tulle tutu. Polka-dots. I don’t think we spoke. I think that was better.
3. Manic Pixie Nightmare
4. We toasted my psychiatrist on the roof and prescription refill day at the drag club.

“It’s always possible to wake someone from sleep, but no amount of noise will wake someone who is pretending to be asleep.” — Jonathan Safran Foer, Eating Animals (via distraction of the day)
Nope. This has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with anything that may have happened this morning. (Or - as some might call it - ‘afternoon’.)

So here’s the thing… I KNOW I haven’t really been posting much lately. I haven’t been posting much at all. And while I’m not going to go completely overboard and pretend that this lack on my part has caused anyone any undue stress, I can’t help but think that maybe, just maybe, a few of you have felt mildly irritated. (And by “mild” here, I’m...

Tonight should be amazing. (It’s a hush-hush experiment right now, but with luck there will be more about it later.)
Last night was supposed to be The Quiet Night. As it turns out, the “supposed to be quiet nights” tend to be anything but. I should be drawing conclusions here that involve words like “expectations” and “anticipation,” but those might have...

Her: Hey, what's your guy's name?
Me: Who?
Her: Your guy. That guy.
Me: Him? Um... Tim?
Her: You don't know?
Me: I'm pretty sure it's Tim.
Her: You really don't know his name?
Me: Well, I've been calling him "Tim" all night. He hasn't objected so far.

File Under: Seemed Like A Good Idea At The Time
My “real” costume wasn’t ready yet, so I had to throw something together at the last second for Friday’s Halloween festivities. I dug through the costume box and found a fantastic wig and a black dress I’ve been dying to wear for ages, and after a few ideas were thrown around (Dead Scarlett O’Hara? Helena Bonham Carter in every Tim Burton film?), it was decided...

So last night...
…a lot of things happened. But there was this one part where somehow I ended up playing Paula Abdul on the board judging an impromptu Michael Jackson Team Dance Contest. And then V and I—both in heels—helped one another climb to the tip top of the roof and then we danced and danced. And it was good.

Halloween Help Wanted: The Next Chapter
Okay, so I’ve given up on “The Little Mermaid Dissolving Into Sea Foam” costume. Instead, I’m going for “The Little Mermaid Post-BP-Oil-Spill.” Now I need to figure out how to look oily and sticky without actually being… oily and sticky. Oh! Also, I’ll be wearing it on a boat. Which is helpful thematically, but not helpful with regard to temperature...

Little J Explains It All
You know how sometimes you hear a song and you find yourself identifying with it and then it hits you that this must be The Low Point In Your So-Called Adult Life because the song you’re identifying with is by P!NK?!? And then you’re comforted by the thought that this IS the low point and things can only get better? Right. So I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but I’ve...

If so, could you possibly help me with a Halloween costume predicament? Please? I’m shooting for the Little Mermaid. But, like, the real Little Mermaid. As in The-Little-Mermaid-In-The-Midst-Of-Dissolving-Into-Sea-Foam. It’s the “dissolving into sea foam” part that’s causing the most trouble. (Obvie.) How could one achieve this effect? Convincingly?

Manic Pixie Nightmare
Her: Be like the squirrel, girl.
Me: I love you. And your advice. But I am incapable of being like the frakin' squirrel, girl. I can, however, devote myself to the purgation of any stubbornly persistent interiority. Just call me Manic Pixie Dream Girl and stick me in a Cameron Crowe flick. I am comforted by the thought that you will love me just the same.
Her: Yes! Hey, you should come over! I'm dying to rewatch Garden State.
