Confused Catholic...

I had a bipolar Saturday.

I went to the annual pantomime in the afternoon, which this year was Sleeping Beauty. Very good as usual - a sprinkling of "he's behind you", and a smattering of "oh no you won't", throughout. Good, old-fashioned kid-friendly fun... which was followed by a Christmas themed fancy dress party at night, where I turned up as Drag Jesus - a personal creation that was met with equal amounts of derision and cries of blasphemy from an otherwise non-Christian cross-section of my friends.

Santa - of course - was there, along with a reindeer, an angel, a cheeky elf, my pregnant mother, and Mrs. Claus (every party should have one, right guys?), among others, and it was a great night of drinks, dancing, and dodgy photos.

Walking home alone at four in the morning with full make-up on was unusually liberating. It was very peaceful. No cars. No pedestrians. Nothing.

Just me, the snow, and my mascara.

Just another ordinary night, then? (Is Drag Jesus a cross-dresser?)

Dress up night is usually Thursday, Ian.

What does Drag Jesus do with the beard?

In fact 'Drag Jesus' sounds like a cool playground game for weird atheists...

Happy New Year

Drag Jesus still has the beard, Rich... check me out on Facebook for the full effect.

Happy New Year to you as well.
