ladylike tuesday
sometimes the unexpected is the best bite.
i'll see your thunder and lightening,
and i'll raise you pleated dresses, chandelier earrings, and heels high.
ladylike tuesday
today i will wrangle the lady out of me.
i've had seconds of sleep, and resemble more a snarling, snapping yellow-bellied sea snake.
back off bitchiness, withdraw your surly sword.
no amount of busy or exhaustion exempts me from kindness and manners.
lady like tuesday
yes, i know tis a man.
today requires me extra rigid in statue & stance; articulation and precision with each exhalation of breath.
major big girl panties today.
often when i need to play professional katie i feel most girly in boy britches.
nothing like an ascot and pinstripe pant to get my eyelashes batty and lips glossy.
i can behave.
with the best of them in fact.
there's something.....though, so, so, so juicy tempting about blowing big, smacking loud, giant pink bubblegum bubbles in a quiet room of stiffs.
even more delightful when i'm asked to share my hubba bubba, and the imbecile stew thickens.
so ladylike....

balls to you april!
you're not bringing any of your usual sunny self to the game.
skirts, straps, and sandals enjoy cozy closet time while cashmere and cardigans work without end.
highs in the sixties call for sweaters and socks. still.
fancy folds of warm weather fabric yearn to frolic amongst the blooming petunias and pansies.
i'll begrudgingly make this tuesday.......ladylike.
grrr. grumble, grumble.
ladylike tuesday
curls, t-straps, a big white bow.
they somehow make they slouching girly.
ladylike tuesday
i've heard the whole raindrops and roses, whiskers on kittens spiel.
but,
shimmery and shiny, pearlies on pastels....
kick your whiskers' asses.
ladylike tuesday
balls.

pfft!!
next time i try to curtail my coffee compulsion i'll be less public.
i'm missing my dark, potent companion desperately. sure we have our mornings together, but then it's goodbye until a new dawn.
tea just isn't cutting it. i'm not the tea girl. i have giant hamstrings. girls who drink tea don't have giant hamstrings like me.
we'll see how long i make it. till then it's ladylike tuesday. it's ladylike to drink from a teacup. i'll try to harness this genteel image today. extra pearls to help.

ladylike tuesday
today i'm going to pretend i'm a lady who lunches.
the tops of my ears will balance perfectly over my shoulders, hip bones paralleled beneath.
ferragamo flats.
cornelia james' gloves
i will cultivate charisma and allurement.
and i will master the art of looking pensive, beautiful, and unavailable.
a tout a l'heure......
