“Poor little thing. She looks so unhappy. All sad, and overgrown.”
“Can’t you just imagine her with a fresh coat of paint, maybe change the dark trim to something a little more vibrant?”
“Seafoam?”
“Heavens no. She is definitely not a seafoam kind of gal. I was thinking of something a little brighter. Maybe in between salmon and cerise?
“Gavin, dear, your crown is showing.”
“And that my darling Marcus, is exactly why you love me.”
“That being true, I’ll meet halfway, at rouge- if you’ll cut the grass.”
“Only if I can do it in sequins and heels….”

Here either. I came of age on the strip in Ft. Lauderdale and we had a huge and very flamboyant gay community then. I miss it so much. Life was so much more colorful.

I think doing one’s lawns in sequins and heels would be a bit of a challenge, the heels especially, but if it made you feel good then go for it I say.

At first I was going to advocate for sturdy shoes, for safety’s sake. But the heels, if spikes, will provide the added benefit of aerating the lawn, so, okay. I am not sure what benefit is to be gotten from the sequins. Oh, except he likes them. So, okay.
Funny, I though at first there was going to be something on how we people tend to call homes, boats, etc “she”.

It was an attempt to portray how fluid gender is in conversation. Houses and men can be referred to in terms of she just as easily as a female, no gender bias there…
