We took this pic at the Labyrinth ball in LA a couple of weekends ago. It's hardly the best picture of me ever taken, but it means a lot to me because through hard work and dedication I've managed to not look absolutely hideous.
I've always been ambivalent about my looks, sometimes I think I'm cute in an odd way and sometimes I think I just look odd... But last year I put on some weight, and when I saw how I looked in the Labyrinth pictures last summer I wanted to die. I mean, to say I looked like ass is an insult to ass. I wasn't sure if it was the weight I'd put on or if I was just getting old or what the heck was going on, but drag is just too much work to bother with if you're gonna look as super-assy as I looked.
So over the last year I've lost a couple dozen pounds, and while I'm still not down to my ideal weight I do feel like I'm looking better.
As I've said before, I have no problem with fat chicks. I love fat chicks. I'd kill to be a fat chick. But fat just sits wrong on my bones, it goes to all the wrong places and really butches me up. So I end up in this weird place where I'm lusting after porky girls while I'm starving myself. It's not good.
Dig my renaissance faire outfit? I know it looks super-dorky, but you try putting together a big fancy ballgown on a Party City budget.

I'm glad to see you went!
Yeah, I'm kind of surprised it worked out. We actually had some fun.
How've you been doing?
You look a look like Billy Joe Armstrong from Green Day in eyeshadow-mode. I'm probably not the first to make that connection. You're not a bad looking guy.
Sorry about the typo above. I do that a lot :)
Thanks for what I'm sure you meant as a compliment... But just so's ya know, for somebody like me, being called a guy is not a fun thing. I don't spend two-plus hours getting prettied up in drag, to get called a guy. (But again, I know you didn't mean any harm and I'm not trying to kick your butt about it or anything.)
Nobody ever told me I look like the Green Day guy. Maybe in these pics, but I don't think the resemblance is there in real life.
