miss justification Tell me something good.

Dear Miss Justification,
A wonderful person I know recently had a belated birthday/exams are finished-supah dupah party. I was stuck in an airport in Cleveland waiting out a tornado warning. How can I find out about all of the hijinks and funtimes that invariably ensued without sounding self pitying for having to miss the shindig? Moreover, how will this wonderful being ever get her special visit from the lip gloss faerie?

Curious in Cleveland

Dear Curiousity Killed the Cat,

I do not know where self-pity got its bad reputation. It fucking sucks to be stuck in an airport, particularly in a tornado WARNING, which, as a nice Midwester girl, I know to be a freaky, green-sky, we could be pelted by flying machinery and/or farm animals at any moment kind of time. Plus, you just know they are going to send you up in that sky as soon as they can. The sky with the tornado in it. If that doesn’t call for a large martini with 2 olives and a splash of self-pity, I really would have no idea what would.

Pinky herself has a number of hilarious and bizarrely captioned digital photos a friend posted on Snapfish. She is doing what she can to post them here somewhere, or at least a link to them. If any of the above words are bold or in colors, my mission has been a success. I will keep trying, by golly, I am nothing if not tenacious and dogged. In the meanwhile, said shindig was lovely, silly, and glorious, filled with beautiful friends and very creative gifts. I have decided to take it as a very positive reflection on how I am living that I know people like these, and inspire gifts like these.

It is ever a top priority to make time for a visit from the lip-gloss faerie. I believe I have already made a solemn vow to entertain both the aforementioned faerie and her faerie lord at casa rmlp before Christmas. Let us attempt to engage telephonically in the near future. Something wonderful awaits you. Strange foods and new recipes.

May all who wish to see my love’s play see it with me this Saturday evening at 8 pm. Make a reservation, and don’t forget your body paint. That is all.

With passionate love,
Pinky Bethesda, as dictated to Lana St. Michel
