My family gave me a good bit of shit about having to make the trek out here for Christmas. Nobody gets to leave the show for the holidays, so it was that or else have a fractured family Christmas. Then because of the weather back east they got stuck here. It looks like they’ll get a flight out today. But one of my sisters has found a boyfriend amongst the stagehands, actors, and other theater folk who comprise my social circle, and thus she has decided to stay with me through New Year’s. She bought a dress for the occasion. It’s champagne lace and sequins. It looks like a goddamn wedding dress if you ask me. Like a wedding dress that got all dolled up for a night out on the town in Vegas.

Me? I’m planning on wearing a $40 dress that somehow manages to mix leopard, zebra, and tiger print.
