Do you have fuzzy sweaters and boas?

Yes. Ask AdL. I wore a fabulous cream one on Sunday.

And nothing else.

Truthfully, I am one of the few men I know who's bought a boa. I needed a gift for the mrs, and her friend gave me an item description and off I went to the mall. I walked into the store and asked to see their boa selection, and that I needed something in light pink. I picked one, cried when they showed me the bill, brought it home and my wife looked at it and said "I just bought that for myself last week."

I know one other cat who bought one. his wife was the friend who gave me the gift suggestion.

This answers the mirror question that Shape Shifter had last week.

And let's just clarify that the "your" does not refer to me.

It's too goddamn expensive to waste on TCBing.

All the cool cats use Creme de Mer (or whatever it's called) to TCB.

Let me help. The composition of Wonk and camera should lead to the darkest lighting possible. Try pitch, no flash.

Why would I want to look like you?

Where the heck are you buying your Oil of Olay complete? It is like $6 at Wal-mart. The only Oil of Olay product that is even remotely pricey is the Regenerist.

Sorry. There was a huge Rosenquist retrospective in two museums simultaneously here last year. There was also a 200 piece modern art exhibit (if anyone's in Berlin before September 19, go see The Heroic Century). I thought they were both fantastic, and I get irritated with people who dismiss modern or abstract art as bullshit.

What about people who simply don't like most of it?

Turtle Wax.

Only as a prophylactic, and only when I'm out of Magic Shell.

I just noticed that I am getting wrinkles. What can be done, if anything? This sucks.

Dare to eat a peach.

OK, kidding aside, go see a dermatologist. Everyone's skin is a bit different, so the goop that works for Mrs. Not Bob might not work for you.

Oh, and if you smoke or get your golden tan the natural way, stop. Or accept the fact that both habits accelerate the aging process (not to mention the whole cancer thingy).

And if by "wrinkles" you mean "laugh lines," relax. Even we (oh-so-superficial) members in good standing of The Patriarchy appreciate such things on a chick with a sense of humor. Just don't get fat, or wear boring clothes, or start driving a minivan, and you'll be fine.

Insufficient. I want to hear from a cat who got shot in the head. Thats gotta smart like hell.

Not sure that's true. There are (perversely) no nerve endings inside your brain, or very few of them, for pain experience. I don't think the head itself is particularly sensitive --- I've occasionally had tell someone they were bleeding from the head.

No shooting story to back this up, but how's about another head trauma? A woman (in her, say, 60s) always took the same train home that I did. One day, she wasn't there. Word got around that she'd been attacked. She was sitting on a bench waiting for the train when a deranged guy came up and started talking gibberish to her. She spoke kindly to him but somehow responded incorrectly (whatever; did you catch the part about him being deranged?), and he smacked her hard behind the right ear with his closed left fist and ran away. She staggered to a nearby business for help, and seemed confused, but her train came and she took off to catch it despite the business owner's offer to call the cops and/or ambulance, claiming she was "fine." She caught on the train and sat waiting for the conductor to punch her ticket. Conductor came up to her, started to ask for her ticket, and then found himself in the awkward once-in-a-lifetime situation of having to ask her, "Um, ma'am, do you realize you've got a pen sticking out of your skull?" Turns out, the guy's fist wasn't empty; a ballpoint Bic was lodged two inches into the base of her skull. No pain, and not much blood. The conductor called ahead to the next station for a trauma ambulence, and she had the pen removed with supposedly no permanent ill effects. When the rest of that train station crowd saw the posters with the guy's composite sketch, and heard the victim, in addition to being a 60-something woman, also happened to be a nun, we entertained a lot of fantasies about kicking his teeth in, mental illness or no. Never caught him, to my knowledge.

Not saying I'd volunteer for a head wound, but it probably isn't as painful as it is potentially deadly and/or debilitating.

And she said honey take me dancing
But they ended up by sleeping
In a doorway
By the bodegas and the lights on
Upper Broadway
TCBing with expensive face lotion

At some point, you have to face your true nature, stop practicing on bottles, and move on to the real thing, Flower. Be brave. We're behind you.
