Entry #25 - It's a Zoo

"Do you think elephants have toothbrushes?" (She) wondered.

(He) shuddered.

"Why is it just sitting there?" (He) asked.

"What's it suppose to be doing?" (She) responded.

"In the commercial it wears an afro and sings circus songs."

"Right."

Entry #24 - Bass Shop is Kicking

"There is a whale in the store," (She) said.

"I see it. How could I not see it? It doesn't even take up that much room..." (He) replied.

"It's looking right at us," (She) said nervously.

"It's not real," (He) replied.

"Really?"

"Yes."

"Are those bass real?" (She) asked.

(He) sighed. "They're catfish."

"Whatever. Real?"

"Real."

"Really? In a store? Where the hell are we? It's like redneck Disney World in here."

"Hold me..." (She) said as she leaned in closer.


"Not. Real." (He) whispered in return.

Entry #23 - Head to the Beach

"So, how do you feel about the beach?" (He) asked.

"I'm fine with it. It's great. To look at." 

As long as my bristles don't get wet. 

(She) didn't want (Him) to know how badly (She) frizzed.

Entry #22 - A Gallery Show, a Drag Queen, and (Us)

"There is something very surreal about these paintings. They remind me of Salvadore Dali's work. There's no real sense of definitive space. It's very enjoyable to look at," (He) said.

(She) just looked at him and wondered where (He) had been (Her) whole life...

"OMG. We are posing with Miss Gay R.I. and her teeth are gawgeous!"
