good golly miss molly

Last night I saw a burlesque performance featuring my best friend Molly Crabapple, in which she did a corset-peeling striptease, and ended up in pasties. The show was also graced by the comic reverse striptease (she started off nearly-naked, eating cream puffs, and hilariously laced herself into corsets and girdles) of interntional burlesque star Dirty Martini.

Williamsburg Spelling Bee champion Megan was in attendance, and we spent some time pondering the sexual preference of the cute bartender, who turned out to express strong women-oriented proclivities, but in Williamsburg, you just can't freaking tell. Megan has an even better vocabulary when she's drunk. Do you ever sometimes get a new, exciting word caught in your head and you just want to say it continuously? I think mine recently has been "panacea." Hers is "analogous."
