I don't have as many differing origins stories as the Joker .. YET!
This was originally going to be a quickie caption with a setup and a punchline .. "What the hell are you doing Liam?" "Oh Mom! I didn't mean for you to catch me all dressed up like this .. I can explain. Well .." "I really don't care at the moment, blow out those candles before you set this whole house on fire!"
Or something like that. But I put the image into a caption setting, typed in the first line .. and then got distracted by a few phone calls. A best friend, a woman I'm dating getting home from work .. and then I came back and I ruminated on it a bit more, thinking I could flesh out the entire thing without having to make the text huge .. and then I'd have had to re-set it to have text on the picture instead.
So I started writing, and .. well Mistress Dee .. well, Mistress in Training Dee came out and decided she wanted to be part of the caption, and as you know .. it's hard to keep her out of trouble! At first I thought of a bet, but I'd have had to have been there to see it through, and thought that it'd be even better if I slightly manipulated Liam into doing what I wanted .. and worst case scenario, I've got blackmail video if he doesn't comply further. And since he's a teenage boy, he was even more clueless as to my plans. Literally .. he didn't see the name analog from Liam to Leah? That boy DESERVES those panties he'll be wearing every day now! Honestly, I think in this case Dee came upon the s!ssy equivalent of shooting fish in a barrel. Perhaps I could have converted him with just a kiss or some making out .. but it'll still be worth it!
So in that way, I have 2 bits of plot to work with in that space, and I can tie them both up into a neat little bow, like the one on the headboard of Leah's sister. I guess you could say that I got 2 zingers for the price of one.
Hmmm, not sure if the image will pop up, but hopefully it brings you to a tasty cover of The Joker by the Steve Miller Band, as done by Keith Urban. Dude can really play the guitar!
Be worth it to get to second base! Zoe
ReplyDeleteAwww thanks! Though perhaps Liam / Leah will soon have enough cleavage to get to second base with herself!
DeleteHappy Birthday Leah, your first as a girl. Your Sister/Bro will now take over your room.
ReplyDeleteLeah could get her hand-me-downs!
DeleteYes
DeleteLove the cap! I wonder if Mistress Dee in training roped the mother in or if that was just serendipitous.
ReplyDeleteThis kind of follows the base idea I have for a future story where one person gets the protagonist to dress up, then someone else sees them, assumes they want that life, and starts forcing it on them. I'm not a huge fan of the whole 'parent' angle as it puts them at too young of an age in my book... but it would be a wicked smaat story!
Oh, and I love the Urban cover of Joker! Question though... is he performing in some backwater bar? I mean, my two horse town has better stages than the one he's performing on!
Yeah, the parent here isn't really bitching about Liam wearing his sister's clothing right away as .. "you are going to set the house on fire!" part and Mom probably wouldn't be complicit in Lil' Mistress Dee's plot. As a parent, I could often see when my daughter's boyfriend was trying to be manipulative .. so that parental concern is legit, but I could also tell which of her friends were lesbians, gay, trans, etc ... way before they came out, so that prognosis is quite on the button.
DeleteI think Urban was doing one of those "one off / unannounced" shows at a local watering hole, for fun and for huge fans of the band. I know of other bands like Iron Maiden and Aerosmith will do that as well, with a fake band name .. especially if they are about to kick off a tour, and want to shake the cobwebs loose.
