On The City Budget Meeting...

I'm glad, in my online popping around to see what's going down in 52001/2/3/4, actually, that I saw that Ms.Larson, who popped a squat right behind me, when she dashed in, also captured me there on camera, which confirms 2 things I already knew, and those 2 things alone. A.) It was definitely a bad hair day, but, in spite of just getting out of the shower, I did, in fact, take off my hat in Council Chambers, just to show respect, and with no external pressure to do so, of course, but what's more disrespectful--the remedial hat, or the now-clear and obvious HAT HEAD? B.) I've been overdue for a whole new wardrobe, but when L.A. is on fire, and then raining mud, and finally-did-it! trips back to even Woodfield, this stint back, turn into trips of mourning about the funeral of my favorite stores of past repute, like GUESS, bebe, even THE LIMITED, American Apparel, just cuz it was L.A.-based, and I'm STILL asking, now YEARS later, "Yeah, and for WHAT?!!" because to spend any budget, one has to have a goal. And to have a goal, you need a clear Mission, Vision, & Values statement..however, that also means that everything you've endeavored upon hasn't been, non-stop, blown up and life-boat-destroyed by thieves, Satan's spawn, & vandals...So what I will say is this--I'm glad some things never, ever get old, like being right, like GUESS "Runway" boots your mom says you look like a "hooker" in, even as, for the nth year in a row, before ANYONE was willing to say "Me too" about anything, you were young, powerful, and getting tortured with "poverty" and pulled "opportunities" because you kept saying "No" while every other woman's default setting was buddying up with Mr.Wrong or Whomever, & like seeing that "The Telegraph Herald" didn't just leave out Larson's dog park input, as she tweeted, but clearly my "up the ante on Civil Rights & real jobs that breathe life back into people," because they assumed that it was a "personal" issue--and more so because I was invited to meet with the City Manager and the Workforce Development Head, as well as what ended up being Kelly Larson, of The Dubuque Human Rights Department, about my ideas, so they would take care of it? Civil Rights for ALL protected classes takes ALL citizens getting on board with the Laws and Mission, Vision, and Values that Channeled through the Founding Fathers of this nation...I mean, to even ATTEMPT to take a remedial action on the way the Native Americans were massacred, they would need the best from every corner of this planet AND God. Here's to Kate's Hispanic roots, which I didn't know about, conclusively, since I talk about roots and culture cuz I'm right with mine...and the nation still can't dialogue about theirs successfully because...Yeah, that's what I thought. Just like your favorite pair of Rockstar, will-wear-on-2-wheels-no-problem-or-run-in, getting-high-fashion-especially-for-the-Midwest-I-said-be-nice-to-Black-people-Oh-so-I'm-a-threat-now-and-for-which-thing boots, you gotta Rock what your ancestors gave ya, people, and I mean that--hat head or not.

Here's to abstinent Supermodels.

And, no, I'm not one.

A Supermodel, that is.
