A couple of months ago, C-Dawg convinced me I should try watching a show called "Ru-Paul's Drag Race."
Now, this is a show I'd heard of before, most notably, when I saw Henry Rollins speak and he mentioned being a judge on the show, but not a show I'd really thought of watching. But I gave it a try and man oh man, there are entire cultures out there, like that of drag queens that I have absolutely no idea of or experience with.
C-Dawg and I have both talked about how we'd love to have some folks dress us up with the wigs and the makeup and the outfits just to see what we'd look like in the types of outfits these ladies wear, I think it could be great fun for an evening or a photo shoot. But neither of us are the hair and makeup types anyway.
It's been interesting to watch and learn a few things and I'm glad they seem to have such a supportive community. I hope we can continue to have a world where we all find the place where we're accepted. (As long as we're not hurting ourselves or others.)
Whoops. Double Whoops!
I have an (older) Apple laptop, and some of you who do as well, may know the frustration of the charger cords. They are absolutely the weak point of these devices and constantly fray and break. Especially, it seems, for me, probably due to the angle of my cord compared to where it has to plug in and where I spend most of my time. So because this part breaks so much, I get tired of paying the $100 for the replacement I know isn't going to live all that long. Last time I got a replacement I tried to fortify the break point, but it still went. And then I ordered a slightly cheaper one off of Amazon. It didn't come from apple, but arrived with all apple branding, so... I figured it was real enough. *shrug* It frayed as well, and this time the protective coating was only slightly split so I left it for a while, intending to get some electrical tape to seal it up for a while. Which is why I was not so happy to hear and see it spark when I went to plug it in...
