Pimpin' Ain't Easy
By GxxP
Inspired by the Hughes brothers' documentary American Pimp, Beth, Jen and I masqueraded as pimps this Halloween. While we drew inspiration from such pimp legends as Fillmore Slim and Bishop Don Magic Juan, our rather last-minute outfits ended up being more of an extension of ourselves. Take note of Jen's frilly pink-pimpdom, juxtaposed by Beth's ethnic, hippie-pimpness (a few fellow revelers mistook her for Janis Joplin, but they were drunk.)
Both of my fellow pimps agreed that the gold tooth made me the Pimp Master. Although, by the end of the night, I was happy to relinquish my accoutrements to Dan (notice how Truman-Capote-esque they look on him.) It was a wonderful night, but in the immortal words of Big Daddy Kane, pimpin' ain't easy.

Remnants of a Crack Whore Dinner

At first I was a bit apprehensive about adding Jerry's latest contribution to the Photo Gallery. Part of me felt it just wasn't right to exploit Jerry's neighbor in such a way. But the fact that Jerry came home late one night, passed her on the stoop enjoying her feast, and then returned to capture the moment on his digital camera means that it deserves its place in the documentation of our lives and those around us. You may find it funny, or you may find it sad, but it's a true snippit of life on Jerry's block, and therefore it belongs.
So without further ado, I present to you Jerry's masterpiece.

I find that I don't really enjoy making fun of something unless I know what I'm making fun of. In the case of Stevie's recent White Trash BBQ, I had limitless experience to draw from, as did many of the other guests. Port Lavaca, TX; Mechanicsville, VA; and Peoria, IL are all specks on the map from whence the party attendees hailed. Deviled eggs, cheese in a can, and Twinkies were among the delectable foodstuffs we feasted on. People sported mullets, bras peered out from behind too-tight shirts, and personalized coozies kept our Budweisers cold. For those of you who weren't able to share the fun, here is a glimpse of what you missed.
