100% Me HNT
Happy Half Nekkid Thursday! (Picture created at http://www.sp-studio.de/)
Ok, so that was cheating. But that *IS* what I’d look like if I lived in South Park (which IS in Colorado), and could afford to wear whatever I wanted, and spend all my time reading :)
Here’s my REAL HNT picture for the week:
The other night, some of my friends were originally planning on coming over, but then one decided she didn’t want to go hot tubbing, and one of my favorite roller dolls, Sissy Rinkshaw, asked me if I wanted to go out to a local dive bar (with dance floor and DJ) with her. I convinced my friends that they wanted to come to.
Now, while I’ve never ever (even in college) been much of a drinker, I always loved going to the theme parties because I got to dress up. And that’s something I’ve missed the most about college; get to dress up all fun, and then go out and have a blast. Since I’d been feeling pretty much down in the dumps as late, I decided to dress up all 80′s. SIssy said she was going to as well, hers more of a Madonna 80′s crack whore chic. I decided to just go with the “everything mismatches so much that it just matches, and add color and glitter wherever you can.”
While there, a local cupcake shoppe closed, and brought over their extra cupcakes for the bar patrons to nosh on for free. Now, of course I saw the chocolate cupcakes with the white frosting and raspberries, and did I think “mmmm, delicious?” Well, yes. But FIRST, I thought BOOBIES! And it IS October, which is Breast Cancer Awareness Month, so here – be aware, get checked out, do monthly breast self-exams (or have your partner(s) help you with them), and I hope you enjoy my cupcake boobage (lopsided, just like the real thing).
I love dancing. It’s something I miss the most since my knees have gotten bad. I danced all night with Sissy and my friends (I was completely sober, please let me point this out). Such a blast. Even the DJ took my picture. I had so much fun, and even though I could barely walk the next morning, and was using ice packs and chugging pills, it was worth it. There is nothing better than being 100% yourself. For me, it used to mean wearing cat ears around my college campus, PJs to class, and randomly jumping on tables in the lunch room to perform impromptu monologues. Nowdays, it means dancing with L at a local diner to the jukebox music, hitting on people by just being direct and telling them how attractive they are, and by dress up like an 80′s hipster for no reason, and dancing the night away after eating my raspberry nipples.
I hope, that in honor of the amazing outfit above, everyone does SOMETHING in the next 24 hours that is 100% them…whatever that may be. Perhaps it’s just sitting at home reading a book, even though it’s “going out night.” Perhaps it’s singing a song while grocery shopping. Perhaps it’s bringing back the side ponytail (hey, I think it looks just fine on me!). But something. We spend so much of our lives trying to fit into boxes, and please others – do something that is completely and genuinely you.
HHNT!
