When I saw the Cure in 1986 I thought Robert Smith seemed pretty bloated then too- but they still were great. I am going to rejoice when it's no more shit job for you. You will feel much lighter and more inspired, even with the retail gig to back you up. (what is it with tattoo giving permission to touch? It's like you are being poked on a birthmark or something, I mean, a cool pretty birthmark but c'mon- It's a part of me! It says Look, not touch!)

It's like that when you're pregnant too. People think that they have a godgiven right to touch your stomach! I'm thrilled that things are going so well for you and CP!

Try not to doubt yourself. I think you are going to do very well. Your corsets are AMAZING. You have a lot of talent. I wish you the best of luck.

I have to agree with Avalonte in saying that pregnant bellies become public property too. It's so rude and invasive. Also, if I may add another rule: Smiling at a clerk/ customer service rep/ waitress/ cashier will NOT kill you. Do it.

OK, I have to walk my doggie (I was just going to leave when you sent the comment that you'd written entries I'd missed), so will only comment on the part i've read now... everyone else is being encouraging to you. They are 100% cuz they are behind you being supportive. They are not taking any risks, they are not giving up what they have to take a chance. It is easier to say "go on stage go on stage show em!" to someone else, than it is to be the person to go on stage and risk flopping. So it is totally normal it is *you* who feels the fear. It is YOUR fear, and you would be insane not to worry about such a big change and leap into faith. You can do it, but of course you are giving up security and don't know what's out there. You are making a big step and being very courageous. I wish you luck and godspeed. cheers. later re the retail etc! :)

Huullooo again! good retail tips. I can't believe the jerks pull up your sleeves without asking! eeeeek! This is one reason I am better at home. I'd probably not smile, and say something like, if you do that one more time I will pull down your pants without askin. hehe. But I HAVE expressed sincere interest in some guy's tattoos. I asked to see the back of his head since he had a wholehead tattoo and the front was gorgeous) and he started on like "I AM NOT A ZOO ANIMAL" well, fuck, if you put a mural on your head, it is not surprising if people want to see more than the front quarter. I was polite and he was all yelling and very scary in an angry skinhead sort of way. When I told my (very tattooed) friends, they went in (it was a coffeeshop like starbucks and he was behind the counter) and asked to see his tats too. He actually chased them out into the street screaming and waving his fists. yeah, like I want to buy coffee there. So there must be some middle ground. And YAY about CP. very cool. yup.
