Hello Everyone!
Yesterday, I went out on the bike in a beautiful purple & white leaf-print knee-length dress with the usual short wig and girl glasses.
There was a free punk rock afternoon show in one of the parks in the city, so I decided to try mixing the two worlds. Wow! I have been to lots of shows here in Philly en drab and the young women wouldn't even give me a second glance. This time, some really awesome young punk rock chicks* seemed really happy to meet me. Got lots of compliments, heard some great live music, and got to make friends with a few 20 something women - heaven!
It's a beautiful and mysterious thing that women seem able & willing to treat a middle aged CD as one of their own. They know I'm a guy in dress but maybe there is something about having the guts to do it that makes them accepting? I don't know, but it sure is fun.
Best,
SS
* I don't use the word "chick" pejoratively.
