Am I A Girly Girl?

Yes, totally!  I love to wear skirts, I love to wear sandals, but I hate to fool with my hair, I hate to do makeup, I hate to have my photo taken.

But all the stories I've been reading have one chick who's thin and tall, always wears pant suits or jeans or slacks, does all the butch-y things, and another one who's the cook, puts up the pictures .... is the more 'nurturing one,' a clearly demarcated separation of roles.

And at the weddings?  It's always one with a tux, and the other one a dress.  Come on!  When will I read of two girls, both in gowns?  I don't even mind both in jeans.  I just don't like both women pretending to be a straight couple.

For the record, I had Helen (a recurring character in my stories) once marry an Indian woman, both of them dressed  in sarees (and believe me, Indian sarees run the gamut from embarrassingly showy to stunning but understated).

In another story (Alexandra), there is a wedding, with both brides in gowns.  So at least I've put my brides where my mouth is.

Oh Nooo! Kate McKinnon Leaves SNL!

For several years, I did not have a decent TV set, or service, so I was unfamiliar with Kate mcKinnon.  And then, someone took me to Ghostbusters 3, or whichever one she was in, and I saw Kate and Leslie.  First chance I got, I went over to watch SNL, and ROTFL-ed my way through the shows for a season, and then watched scenes on YouTube, and I was in love.

Kate wasn't the only cast member on the show that I loved, but her characteristic parodies of characters from the White House made it possible to bear the Trump years.  I don't write about humor, so I never got the ch ance to out myself as a Kate McKinnon fangirl, but I am, and now the facts can come out.

She's also an incredibly beautiful woman.  Unfortunately her parodies are so off the top that the SNL sketches don't get to go into too much depth, because Kate details them, for which I forgive her, because I am in 💕.

DA: a new insight

As many of you know, I have joined the DeviantArt site basically to buy cover art for my Smashwords books.  But this is a good website to view new art, though the quality is not uniformly good.

Unfortunately, I can't scroll through the images like I suppose one is expected to; in each case, I study the image, trying to imagine the character of the model, and his or her mood!  This is impossible, because often the image is the product of the model and the photographer and all sorts of people working together!  Cosplay images, particularly are a team job today; some of them have an immense amount of thought put into them; in contrast, some of them are just a light-hearted homage to some manga character.

I have to laugh at myself for investing so much effort in examining these images!
