Now I'm not dumb, but I can't understand...

I stood next to the WORST transvestite EVER on the bus this afternoon. Now, if you're a dude and you want to dress up in women's clothing, by all means be my guest. But this guy wasn't even trying. His cheap wig was all crooked; one of his clip-on earrings was clipped really high on his lobe, the other almost off his lobe; and his lipstick looked like it had been applied by a drunken baboon. Show a little pride in your work, Ma'm.

maybe he wasn't a transvestite. maybe he just lost a bet, and does know how to doll himself up properly.

haha
oh, people on the bus, such fodder for endless mockery!

maybe they'd had a rough day. makeup is kind of high-maintenance that way

Maybe it was all properly applied at one point...
just saying is all

a lurker emerges.

did he have a five o'clock shadow too? there's a guy who comes into the store like that - looking distinctly like a slovenly man wearing bad make-up and dangly earrings. it's quite distressing.

about the books, Michael, the cover on the singleness book was close to vomit-inducing and the content was patronizing and, quite frankly, an insult to my intelligence. I wasn't expecting quality from it, but neither was I expecting such drivel. sigh. thanks for the effort though. Hopefully I'll fare somewhat better with the others.

I don't recall which cover was which, but the one with a group of, um, losers was my personal favourite. Sorry the one was such crap. I suspect they all might be categorized as "intelligence insulting."

Oh, I didn't notice five o'clock shadow. I think I would have. S/he was wearing the brightest pink coat you ever did see.

And there was no way this was a lost beat thing. If it had been, his friends would have been sitting by laughing at him. He seemed perfectly content to be the least convincing woman since Tarzan ate Jane's lipstick.

Actually, this guy didn't do much like a lady... but I do love the opportunity to work in The Kinks.
