Autumn Daze
(I'm feeling absolutely fabulous)
Independence Day is my favorite holiday, not because I am particularly patriotic about it, I just love fireworks. Next, of course, is Halloween. I grew up in the northeast, where it is celebrated with fervor. In New England, people decorate their yards and houses throughout the fall, even more than you see during the winter holidays. New Englander’s take great pride in scaring the crap out of their children on October 31st. By November, stories will abound about the latest stunt that caused children to run away screaming and giggling. Autumnal colors and All Hallows Eve; I like this season.
Edina & Patsy Absolutely Fabulous
Deborah & Jessica in character
When I was a kid, I always wanted to dress as a bum, a precursor to a vagabond youth, maybe. I've worn lots of costumes over the years, sometimes smurfy or fabulous outfits, even. Jessica and I won a costume contest when we dressed as Ab Fab's Patsy and Edina; people thought we were drag queens, which we took as complimentary. We had blue pores for days after covering ourselves in blue face paint to become Smurfs.
Brainy Smurf
October is almost as good as fireworks.
