you can always try. go ahead. try me.

don't mind if i do! where did you wear it?

this place I frequent, Rosebud. I showed up with that stupid thing on my head in the middle of jazz hour. you should have seen the look on those hipster-dyke faces. they thought I'd finally lost my fucking marbles. but whatever, the fake crystals went super well with my leather jacket and grey tie.

oh! oh, i wish i'd been there, i bet you looked

um

um, but how's the crew at rosebud these days? are they still sort of... i don't know how to explain it but... sort of endemic to luxembourg city? like, exactly as you'd expect of a crowd in this place. exactly so.

I looked fucking ridiculous. but fucking amazing.

it's exactly that, yeah. all that shit. rich married ladies, young hipster girls who think swaying their heads to the resident jazz singer's crooning counts for dancing, the boring side of lipsticks everywhere, no activism, no drive. narrow-mindedness and the wrong kind of intimacy.

you've been?

once, yes. it didn't feel any different from my usual social circles so i didn't return - i mean, what's the point, right? it just felt really incidental. all these ladies and they didn't seem to care anymore than anyone else i knew and i kind of hadn't expected that at all.

must've been on a night I was out. I'd have seen you for sure. saved you from their shit. I mean, fuck, do I know it.

well, you could have missed me. lots of blond-haired girls around that place, i bet.

princess, I've been around that place fifty-plus times. none of those blondes emit sunshine and daisies like you do.

sunshine and daisies. it doesn't sound very exciting, does it? :(

Stacy, you're kinda talking to someone living in the Pigsty, you know how fucking novel sunshine and daisies are around that neighborhood?

oh, you do? i haven't been there in a while but my mum has a project going down there at the moment, i think. do you like living there?

it's cheap. I can afford all my necessities with the rent so low.

so, what kind of project has your mom cooked up?

okay, but do you like it? you don't have to answer.

at the moment, it's got to do with optimizing playgrounds. making them safer, too.

no, I don't. but I like your mom, she sounds like a woman of my own heart.

she's pretty great. both my parents are like that - if they aren't living for other people, they aren't really living. it's cute but at times, exasperating. i think they tire themselves out sometimes, too.

they've been good to you?

they have.

are you - you took a long time to answer this time.

sorry, I'm at Rosebud and one of my... friends is pestering me, because she's got no one else and I look like I'm not fucking busy.

oh. well, um, it's pretty late, isn't it?

do you have plans for the weekend? because i know a great cafe down in the french quarters - the owner's queer and she's just incredibly nice, though the place isn't really... it's supposed to be mainstream but it isn't, not exactly.

who wants mainstream anyway when you can have queer, yeah? if you text me the address, I'll meet you there, I could use a new hang-out. and new people to hang out with.
