so, there's lotsa transvestites in puerto rico?

jmg said...

well, numerically probably a lot fewer than in the US...but in this novel, there are quite a few.

Oh, the days. I know you think I'm insane, but I love the thought, even of stressful school. Keep trying to make up reasons to go back, but haven't found a good enough one yet.

well, if you straightened your hair every morning, got colored contact lenses and borrowed my wardrobe...i'd be happy to let you pretend you're me!

Rebecca said...

Really? I could borrow your wardrobe? Hrmm...

jmg said...

well, there would have to be some swapping involved (i.e., yellow trenchcoat, fun skirts, pink sunglasses)

Rebecca said...

No problemo. Will trade yellow coat and one fun skirt for stripey sweater and Big Brown. Pay up.

jmg said...
