Sinister: out and about

[marie elia]

helloooo, sinisterites!

first off, big P!R!O!P!S! to lesleyjo for her smart
and well-articluated response and defense of Freedom. 
women can damn well parade around in tight dresses and
heels (so can men for that matter) if they want and
still be "liberated." as lesleyjo put it (better than
i can), it's about the choice.... soo... 

on that note, i attended NYC Pride yesterday! -- the
gay pride parade and other assorted sundry activities
on the 30th anniversary of stonewall.  there we were,
in the 90-degree heat, on christopher street at the
site of the old stonewall inn where, 30 years ago,
bunches of dykes and queens and in-betweens decided
that enough is enough and caused a lovely riot.  the
parade was awesome, and was like a veritable
show-and-tell of the tons of different kinds of people
that make up the gay community.  oh, and tinky-winky
made his way in there about 3 times!  so...  5 hours,
and i was sunburned and my throat ached from cheering
the marchers on.  a lovely lovely day.  

anyway, whether or not that was interesting to 75% of
the list (tongue in cheek) i don't know.  but the
sheer variety of adults, students, kids, and little
purse-carrying purple dolls in the parade and the
crowd of on-lookers was amazing... and, i don't know,
it was neat.  

um, will any of you all who are going to the july 23
looper show in nyc be posting on the meet-up board on
the jeepster site?  or something?  i would love to
rendez-vouz (i can't spell!) before the show... and
kimmy, our favourite pittsburgh sinisterite, is
driving all the way from western PA just to see the
show... 
 


la la la la la . . . . 

take care.
love,
marie
