I have been tagged by Brooklyntbone. I will plot her downfall later.
Here are my 20 random facts:
1. I am a New Years Baby. I was the first baby born in my town. I was on the cover of the newspaper and my mother received prizes. They did a follow-up story a year later and reported my love for steak. I was loving steak when I was a year old.

3. I work for a politician.
4. I do not drive.

Darling, I am honored. Plus it gives me something to post. :)
I am obsessed with Drag Queens too.
Especially talented ones.
The ones who just walk around are not as interesting to me. But if you lip sync to some Tina Turner then by God I will tip your tight man ass!
You crack me up J.
I love the pagent drag queens along with the performers. I had a Woody Allen moment with a drag queen in London. I was in a taxi and she was in a taxi. I spotted her and was amazed. She had glittery green eyeshadow and the longest fake eyelashes ever. I gasped because she was so damn fab and she blew me a kiss Sharon Stone style. LOL
I look forward to your answers F! Hugs!
I hate public restrooms too. I say that all the time. I do like the one at Bergdorf Goodman though. The one around the corner from Jo Malone. It is always clean and pretty.
Your British Drag Queen sounds FAB.
If you ever come visit Chicago we will go to the Baton Club. I believe it is www.batonclublounge.com. I am a regular, and no I am not ashamed. I have a huge crush on Monica Munroe.

That is the link my dear. Tell me Monica Munro is not a drag dreamboat.
She does a MEAN Cher!
I always tip her big!
I knew you were the one to tag. OMG, you work for a politician and have mafia ties. No wonder you don't own a cell phone or drive: so no one can listen in on your calls, and no one can run you off the road late at night. And you fooled around with an older Daniel Day-Lewis looking character! Who could blame you?
Love the list.
We match on #9 (public restrooms), #13 (kicked out of hotel rooms by cops), and #14 (mafia ties).
PeeJ: When I come to Chicago we will see the drag queens!
BTW: The worst NYC store bathroom is Barneys. I was stunned and appalled by that hell hole. I never did write to Barneys about that. I should have.
T: LOL!
I have a great mother story to tell you that concerns everything in your post. I will save it for NYC.
J: It is insane and irrational...but I still can not stop peeking in to make sure the coast is clear in the pool. Now that you moved to Florida you really do have to check for gators and sharks. Also huge snakes that try to eat gators. Did you SEE that picture on yahoo? Shudders.
beautyaddict: That is hilarious! I have to tag you since we are fellow goomba's(#14).
For the non-italians: goomba is mafia speak for buddy/friend.
Great list A! I can't decide which one surprised me the most, but it might be number 13. Would love to see the video of that one!
Oh lord, the best drag queen show I ever saw was one that I thought was going to be terrible. The one who was first up had this logger's beard, wore Mimi-style blue eyeshadow, and was at least 100 pounds overweight. And then she performed Donna Summer's Hot Stuff LIVE, not lip synced, and with this improbable physical dexterity of choreography. She was, like, the Sammo Hung of drag queens.
I would love to hear a story tied into your #2 fact.
And I also do not own a cell phone. Refuse to. Do folks give you grief about it, too?
K: I was obsessed with bubble baths as a toddler(imagine that!HA) and begged for the Mr Bubble. It ended up sending me to the hospital for several months. Across the country little kids were falling over with urinary tract pain. I was one of them. My mother is a well known hell raiser and took on the company. This was in the 70's so there was no lump $$$ settlement. She was the type of mother that was pleased&proud with a warning label. My mother thought I would be damaged pyschologically for the rest of my life but I have no memories of it.
Robin: This is a story of being cheap instead of hard partying. I was thrown out of the hotel room with a facial mask on. It was a shisedo mask so I did not bother to wash it off. I could not laugh or freak because my face was soooo tight. A group of four friends drove from Ohio to stay at Notre Dame college to visit a boy. We said three girls were in the room to save $$$. They called the sheriff to throw us out. Annie was busy with her precious facial mask in the bathroom when they started kicking down the door. Instead of helping her friends...she tried to keep them out of the bathroom by shutting the door. To make a long story short...we had to stay with the Notre Dame boys "girlfriend" at the local all girls college next door. It was uncomfortable but my face looked great. LOL
A, what a great story! I can't believe they called the police over one extra person, but I am proud that you did not let them interrupt more important things like facial care, LOL!!!
