Tee Arr Eff Fashion Parade 7-15-14!!!


So I spent another night people watching at Three Rivers Festival. It's a lot of fun, and I get a weird satisfaction from taking pictures of people without them noticing. You never know who you'll see, or what's going to happen, which is what makes this so much damn fun. On with the show!




His shirt said "Bimbo" but his pink shoes shouted "little girl."

The multiple BioLife backpacks are a good indication of where this guy "works."

This black and white combination was striking!

Tuesday night at the Three Rivers Festival is brought to you by the letters D and C.

This shirt reminds me of the tights that Florence of Florence and the Machine wore in "Kiss With a Fist."

He couldn't find a running suit his size, so he borrowed it from mom's boyfriend.

Loves his son so much, he gives him a chair to sit in, so he's comfortable while being ignored by his dad.

I'm not going to have fun on this bull. I'm not. I refuse to have fun. I refuse.

Him: Are you married? Me: No. Him: Do you have a boyfriend? Me: No. Him: Would you like to exchange phone numbers? Me: No. Me: Hey God, can you send some men I'd be interested in dating in my direction? God: Fuck no.

No, he's not getting on awkwardly. He's getting off, awkwardly. But he's not "getting off." He's being bucked off. Thought I'd clear that up for you.

It's a "River of Mystery" because only God knows what the hell is in it.

This is the second night in a row I've seen someone with foot issues. It must be this summer's ultimate health accessory.

I usually see kids in these wagons, not older women.

The family that drags its tablets/iPads/smartphones everywhere is the family that enjoys the Three Rivers Festival with its tablets/ipads/smartphones everywhere.

Dear Mom, I'm writing you a letter on real paper even though I'm not old enough to know what that even means.

Drugs and Drink And God: An Interview with Sarah Katherine Lewis

Image
Back in the glorious 1990s, Sarah-Katherine published a 'zine called Pasty. It was one of the best ones of the perzine genre. She talked about coffee and food and a sex party and checking out the jail and getting drunk for science. We got to know each other via mail. Yours truly published a 'zine called Angry Young Woman. We traded 'zines, and I also got 'zines from other talented writers. Well, Sarah-Katherine got a legit publishing deal and went on to publish Indecent: How I Fake it and Make it as a Girl For Hire   and Sex and B acon: Why I Love Things That are Very, Very Bad For Me   . A review on Sex and Bacon will be coming from me . Indecent sounds awesome too, and as a repressed Catholic girl, I'm sure I'll enjoy it. Sarah-K's latest publishing venture is about being in rehab. If you loved her 'zine, you'll love Rehab A Go-Go . I know I did. Sarah-Katherine is a hell of a writer. Entertaining, funny, philosophical. She's talented and ...

Some Thoughts on American Dirt, Cultural Identity, Cultural Appropriation and other Assorted Nonsense in My Life

I guess there's a book out called American Dirt which is getting criticized because it was written by a white woman about a Mexican woman fleeing Mexico because she's getting chased by someone involved in drugs or something. I haven't read the book; I'm just going on what I've seen online so far. Apparently, Sandra Cisneros endorsed the book, which really pissed off Alisa Valdes Rodriguez. Read the brilliant blog post, “Auntie Sandra's Cabin: Why No One Should be Surprised Sandra Cisneros Endorsed American Dirt .” It's a fascinating read, and parts of it made me think, “right on.” It's also sort of summed up why the so-called “voices of their people” quasi-academics/writers have never really appealed to me. I can't identify with them. I grew up in the Midwest the daughter of a government worker and a restaurant employee. I grew up wanting take figure skating, gymnastics and ballet lessons, which I never did as a kid. I was able to finagle horse...
