Anatomy of a Dress

erica: ugh.
do you have any suggestions for easy/funny halloween costumes?
me: Oh, dude, I am baaaaaad at that. Get some bad ’80s dress from Goodwill and go as Sarah Palin at the Miss Alaska Pageant.
erica: i already said “everyone else is going as palin”
but palin in miss alaska could be funny
me: Oh, that’s true. Well, she is the new village idiot.
erica: she is cra cra
me: She’s the special kind of woman-hating woman.
Dude, that is so hard! I don’t know.
She could wrap herself in a bedsheet and go as Martha Graham?
erica: OMFG
that would be HILARIOUSSSSSSS
me: Totally. Rock the bun and the frown, you’d be IN LIKE FLYNN
or whatever that expression is
6:22 PM erica: “rock the bun and frown”
amazing
why are you even thinking about martha graham?
me: Oh yeah, that’s weird isn’t it?
Ha! Busted!
I got really interested in her a few months ago because I am working on a poem that I THOUGHT was about Clytemnestra
but it’s actually totally about Martha Graham.
erica: that is kind of amazing
me: I saw this like, 7 foot drag queen do a tribute to Martha Graham (who was like 5′2″ btw) a few years ago and it STUCK, dude.
Plus, I went to the show with Jimmy the Carrot so you know that shit is SEARED into my MEMORY
erica: omg Jimmy the Carrot
weeeeeeird. lets erase moments from time
and that will be one of them
me: Oh man, but then I’d lose the Martha Graham-impersonating drag queen!
Alright, we’ll just erase dinner afterward.
erica: HA yes
me: Okay I HAVE to go running. I was trying to put it off because all the yuppies are going to be at the gym after work, but I can’t WAIT any longer I am ANTSY.
