I had a lucid, happy, giggling phone call from Gabrielle Bouliane was October 31, 2009. She called me somewhere near 10pm and said: "I am calling you because I figure you are the only other hot bitch staying home tonight." And then she laughed.
Her pain was managed. She had been doing things. She was really happy because she saw "her boys" the night before. I forgot to ask who they were...Buddy and whoever he was touring with, I imagine.
It was a really good phone call.
None of my cultures really give me a road map for this stuff. There is no sensible parade and drinking on the graves of loved ones in my stunted little history. I don't know how to build remarkable and ghoulish things with sugar cubes. My throat is raspy and dry all the time now.
I don't know that I had any costume picked out for last night - I certainly had a costume budget of zero dollars...but somewhere along the way yesterday I kept hearing that scene from the end of Steel Magnolias in my head - the part where Daryl Hannah tells Sally Field she's going to name her baby Shelby, and Dolly Parton is there and they have this great women in melodrama moment - fucking fantastic women in melodrama moment - that movie still reigns, nothing since touches it,as women in melodrama tend to be looked down upon by the elite and really adored by lots of other people - my point is it's hard to get a good melodrama made (it's remarkably easy to live one!,) - but once you do and you throw a cast like that together....well....
Life Goes On....
She was adamant that *that* is how she wanted it.

Bunny Mamas are for spoiling your children and filling their impossible cheeks with sugar. They are formed in sugar and love and come out only once a year in service to joyful memory. Only joy and only once a year - but there are many and they are everywhere and they don't always dress like this:
<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
It's a fucking sled...watch this movie instead:
Alternately: You know what they say....if you can't say anything nice about someone come sit next to me!
