- I'm a lonnnnng time makeup chick who loves to goof around with words. Sometimes they come out dopey, other times quite cute, occasionally meh, you know?
My blog won't cover anything grand or particularly deep. And definitely not political. I keep that shit close to the chest, not for public consumption.

Fallen Idols?
So.
Long time, OS peeps! This one's a little longer than my usual, but you won't mind, will yas?
Not too long ago, I was walking along Central Park South and saw a diminutive, dark skinned, silver-haired man loping unevenly toward me. He looked uncomfortably somber as he… Read full post »
Compassion...Can You? Will You? Will I?
So.
I was having a conversation with a friend recently and the topic of compassion came up. Actually, I'd had compassion on my mind lately as I'd found Karen Armstrong on TED not too long ago and a few days ago downloaded her Twelve Steps to a Compassionate… Read full post »
Hitting Your Bottom Line?
So.
I was talking to an acquaintance of
mine today and something he said gave me pause. And bummed me out
for him.
He's my age (50) and a few months ago got married for the
first time. When I first met him, I was
struck by his incredibly sweet, gentle… Read full post »
Are You Afraid To Die? An Inquiring Mind Wants To Know
So.
This afternoon, in an attempt to better deal with an insufferable coworker, I picked up my pocket copy of The Power of Compassion by the Dalai Lama. I looove this guy. His infectious happiness shines from every angle. Though I do not consider myself a Buddhist, I agree with his/… Read full post »
Y'all Got NOTHIN' on the Awfulness of My Farrah Hair!
So.
Kerry called for Farrah Hair, eh?
Alrighty, then. Lemme tell yas about my unbearably sad attempt at the famed FH.
I shall set the stage for you.
The year was 1976. I lived on Long Beach Island, NJ. I had (have) naturally wavy (not curly) hair. There were really no such… Read full post »
Smelling....
So.
Smell- I began tonight to think about smell...
...how Jamie had an awesome yeasty bread smell, all over his skin and in his body's hairs, from his beloved beer consumption. Something wafted by me on the Queensboro Plaza platform or maybe in the air as I walked around the… Read full post »
No Makeup, Eh? Well, Alrighty- I'm Nekkid Just For Y'all!
So.
I've been kinda layin' low these days, but I had some time to sniff 'round the ole OS corral today and saw there was some kinda no-makeup thang happenin' and when I got a loada nanatehay, I was all, "Dang, I HAVE to post something now!"
Makeup has… Read full post »
Giving Up The Pot. With Photos.
So.
I've been a potter since I was 15.
(one of my first pieces)
Clay has sung its siren song to me nearly from the cradle and I’ve lost and found myself in its intoxicating melody on and off for many years. Mud is in my soul, you might say.

Who Wants To Be The Doctor? A Li'l Linguistic Surgery
So.
The other day I was sniffing around a free dating site and noticed that someone "wooed" me. I took a look at the guy's profile and good lord, I wanted to send him a sharp, stinging cyber-slap.
He actually used the (non)word "conversate". Yes, he did. Now, to some, that

(I wrote this yesterday, but wasn't able to post, so make believe it's still Sunday, k? )

Right now, I'm sitting in the ER at St. Vincent's Hospital in Manhattan. And I'm startin' to ache a li'l bit. Double-Wah. Here's the scoop:
I woke up all excited this morning, for… Read full post »
Money, Perspective and Farting in New York
So.
Like most of us around here, today I was thinking about money. It's a lovely thing, ain't it?
And I firmly believe, for MY life and purposes anyway, that when I spread summa what I got around as liberally as I possibly can, then it'll come back to me

So.
Here's a li'l somethin' about a funny exchange I had with a guy.
About 6 weeks ago, on dating site, I got a "woo" which is basically the equivalent of a wink. I looked at the guy's 'file and thought, hmmm....he seems okay. Not bad looking, a few

So.
I hate nights like this, after a day of hanging around my apartment and not getting out because I've chained myself here to achieve a specific thing. The specific thing is finished.
And I'm here.
My girlfriends are available. My gay boyfriends are available. My straight guy

Fridge Door, You Ask? Why Not? Beats Scrubbing the Toilet!
So.
The Peanut & The Pea asked very nicely to snag glimpses of our refrigerator doors and offered a lovely snap of theirs.
I thought, what the hay, sure! I can put off cleaning my desk and bathroom and kitchen and doing laundry and windexing the shit outta my glass… Read full post »

Input Please: Your Nookie Dry Spell Substitutes?
So.
Because of this and that, I've been thinking about
what peeps use as substitutes for sex. I know you have 'em and I'm
not talking about youporn or
rabbits or vibratey-eggs or any
of the other adorable self-love devices from
Toys in Babeland.
I'm talking about things that make you forget… Read full post »
A (Hopefully) Wise Word On Beauty or My Advice to Young-uns
So.
As you can see over there, to the left, in my li'l bio sidebar, I'm a long time makeup chick. Which means, precisely, that I've been painting faces in one capacity or another for 28 years.
I cut my beauty teeth back in the '80s in Texas, Land Of Large…Placeholder for Persephone13
So.
Yesterday, Persephone13 showed her bravery by revealing her immaculate '80s mulletude. I responded that I might show solidarity by posting my own. She said, "gimmie."
