My Cold War

This is my “casual” ski mask. I have a very thin one that lets me easily top off my attire with a hat. The better to disguise the ski mask, in a strange way. Although wearing a ski mask is not usually an under-the-radar activity, except on a ski slope.

I did add the lipstick so I wouldn’t look so scary. On the other hand…

    Carole, I can’t hardly see the ski mask with those beautiful eyes in the photo.

    You are very kind, Kelsey. To say such a nice thing to a person nutty enough to post a picture of herself wearing a ski mask. Shelia made me do it.

    Oh! Oh! Thank you. You look like a very glamorous 1970s German terrorist. And I mean that in the best possible way.

    I love being a bad influence.

    Now how could the Iowan not like that?

    It’s the “you are making a scene” thing, Shelia.

    “Drawing attention to yourself.”

    I love “Midwestern values,” whatever they might be, but only up to a point. I am thinking that maybe the Iowan might consider that it’s cool when you look like a glamorous 1970s German terrorist — ’cause so many people will be jealous of him. I mean, what if you were a little mouse no one noticed? Where’s the fun in that?

    Repeat: I honestly dig the Midwest. It’s why I’ve stayed here since I arrived ’round age 22 or 23 or so.

    I get it. Making a scene. Like wanting to dance in the town square when a dance band is playing a tune on a public occasion. But no Iowans want to make spectacles of themselves.

    The man would be bored out of his mind without his scene prone southern wife.

    Nothing like a good scene! And really, it takes so little to make a Midwestern scene. You just feel obliged to do it, it’s so easy. I mean, why not?

    Fantastic, Cece!

    I love the way the mask allows one to focus on the eyes and mouth. Beautiful.

    My first thought was baader meinhof also.

  13. Sheila Ryan on December 4th, 2010 at 4:13 pm

    Phil, I’m glad you saw that, too. It was my first thought.

    Some Baader person I would make. I’m afraid of firecrackers.
