Katie Doyle, Girl About Town

Wednesday, Apr. 30, 2003 - 10:41 p.m.

So, I'm driving down the 101 today, and I get off, eastbound, at Van Nuys Blvd., and down at the bottom of the exit ramp are two guys whom I assume were panhandling, since that seems to be a popular spot for it. It's also the same place where the guy flashed me the Have a nice day beautiful lady sign. They were not that guy, however. The one facing away from me to the southbound Van Nuys traffic was all in black, with a ripped up looking shirt and a black duffel bag at his feet that looked like it had some kind of silvery spiderweb design on it. He looked a little like Alice Cooper, from his build and outfit. But what caught my attention was the guy facing my side of the intersection, who was kinda jiggling around a little, doin' a little sort of shooby dance with his hips (I think it was the Time Warp). He was wearing a little white middy t-shirt that showed really too much of his belly (no guy should ever wear a shirt like that, straight, gay, or anything) short white shorts with a red scarf tied around his waist, running shoes with like mid-shin athletic socks, he had shortish, very curly red-brown hair, perhaps some lipstick (it was hard to tell, since he was jiggly and all, and I was driving past), grinning from ear to ear, and holding up a manilla envelope on which had been lettered in all caps, "I'm just a sweet transvestite from transexual Transylvania."

I laughed, people.

I laughed my butt off. I laughed all the way to my doctor's office. In fact, I called my friend Charli, who moved out of state back in November, and I told HER about it, and we *both* laughed. I'm tellin' ya, there are moments when it's almost worth it to live in LA.

Almost.

Peace out,
Katie

It just a jump to the left. And then a step to the right.
With your hands on your hips, you bring your knees in tight.
