Giles, if you would like to get by in American society, then you are going to have to follow our traditions. You're the patriarch. You have to host the festivities, or it's all meaningless.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

In I can't tell if this is inappropriate or not news: MAC Liquidlast eyeliner? Will last through the apocalypse.

I field-tested Urban Decay's 24/7 liner under much the same circumstances and had the same results.

My porn/drag/stripper name of choice is Baba Ganouche.

Honey Wheeler.

Wasn't that someone in the Trixie Belden books?

I can't get any make-up to last on my face. Not sure why...it all seems to migrate of its own accord.

Last night though, I had to give props to the two-step mascara I use. It doesn't smear when I go to wash it off. It sort of falls off in chunks, which sounds bad but is infinitely more convenient than the smeary type.

Yup, and she had an AWESOME porn name! (Hey, if ita can use a Middle Eastern food, I can use Trixie Belden's best friend.)

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Still, when you consider I was nearly named Greta instead, I think my name worked out just fine.

You actually look... not entirely unlike the one Greta I've ever met, so when I read that I instantly thought, Oh, yes, of course she could have been a Greta!

I mean, apologies if you really hate it and think it's obviously completely wrong for you, but the Greta I knew was smart, funny, warm and creative and had eyes and a smile very much like yours, so all my associations with the name are about as positive as positive could be.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

In I can't tell if this is inappropriate or not news:

It's about the Jilli-est thing you could say under the circumstances.

My father was named for his mother's brother, Roy, but in college he told everyone his name was Royal. Delusions of grandeur? Hell, yes.

Art Crawl!!!

Liese! I didn't know!! How cool is that?

BTW, I don't think my brother even knew that tradition and yet, my niece has my mother's first name (Miyako) as her middle name.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ooh, Honey Wheeler should totally be my backup alias.

Oh, and porn star names: Mine is Bunny Beach, which I think is pretty awesome, but my former housemate had the hands-down winner: Fluffy DiPillo.

Those are both excellent!

Fuck Yeah Ryan Gosling is good times. I have a weird soft spot for him, though.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I think I've told about my friend Candace Groskreutz who never went by "Candy" and refused to take her husband's last name, "Colt." Also her middle name was "Kaye": Candy Kaye Colt.

My porn name (pet name plus street) would be: Sparky Franjo.
