I lost power for four days during this last ice storm. On Sunday, I stopped by to visit a couple I know. They had a generator running, and still had, gasp, internet service. I asked if I could check on my e-mail, and after doing that, decided to check out another forum I'm on. I have a picture of me there, the one I use as an avatar here.
I called my friend's wife over to have a look.
"Karen, can you guess who this is?"
"Oh my God!" "Paul, come here"
Now my friend comes over.
"Katrina?", he says, kind of lingering over it like a wine taster rolling a sample around his palate.
"Brian, how long have you been doing this?"
I gave the short form of my story, basically that I've been doing this since I was 15 or so. Paul used to work for a publishing company that did small speciality magazines. One of their jobs was a CD magazine called Lady Lyke(?). Both of them were suprised to say the least. The neat thing was that it wasn't that big of a deal. Karen liked how I looked.
There wasn't anything brave about it, I've known them for a few years, and know they are very tolerant people. There's also a method to my madness. Paul is into motorcyles. Vintage bikes, modified ones, think bobbers, Tritons, that sort of thing. He has a bobbed Triumph I want to pose with in the worst way...
I'm really glad I had these photos done. Not only is it fun, but it enables me to explain this to other people. They can see Katrina, not a guy in a dress. They can see what I see.
