May 2014

i found "i was a playboy bunny" about the time i had a job where i didnt wear any pants.
a jacket, glorified underpants, opaques, heels, and a blouse that was as invisible as possible.

at least they didnt let the customers grope. the musicians, well, um, uh.......

but i had my ms magazine iron on tshirt till you could see right through them.
when i made buttons i did fish/bicycle joke, and man did i take shit for it.

sigh. refighting the whole damn thing, from the 60's on.

i hate it.
