I finally went out last night to the H street reincarnation of Baltimore's American Dime Museum, the Palace of Wonders.
The collection is much smaller now, of course, but there are two bars! And a tiny stage! And burlesque!
Much fun was had. The Wasabassco Traveling Burlesque Revue and Medicine Show was very good, including Jonny Porkpie- I have to say it was they *only* time I've ever enjoyed a staged male striptease. There is a balcony above, and we clustered around the railing and looked down on the show. Geoff, downstairs, claimed he had a better view, but I think I got to see more boobies overall. Also I got to grab Kris' derrière. And rain ones down on the stage.
Yesterday also, sappily, marked 6 months from when Nick and I first met.
...
My aesthetician, following my lead, has snagged her own mid-20s boy. It seems the salon is dragging their feet on getting her a new lamp, so she wandered out to the hardware store to see if it couldn't be repaired. The guy volunteered to stop by and take a look, and after fixing would only take payment in the form of a beer later.
"Oooh!" I said. "The hardware store on 17th? You mean... (and here I dropped my voice) the guy with the eyes?"
She nodded and squeaked. "You know who he is!"
"Oh, yes." I nodded firmly. "I approve."
Boy, do I. I went in a couple of months ago to get some keys cut, and damn if I didn't consider going back in for some more keys just to look at those eyes some more.
...
I took 20 boxes out to the trash last night. Anyone want some xmas ornaments? Brass candlesticks? I'm sure I'll be posting another list of giveaways soon.
