The one party I would enjoy
Some day I want to attend the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Every year I watch all the clips I can find and it looks like a bash I could handle. It would give me permission to laugh at folks I can't stand - you know, like Donald Trump and Fox News - and be among my own people, so to speak.
It would take me all year to figure out what to wear as I gather even the California contingent didn't show up in jeans. And god only knows what I would do about my hair. I went to my last chemotherapy infusion without a hat, only sprouting my half-inch of bright white hair - my hair has never been white before so I'm not sure what will happen next. I had it buzzed to an even length after Steve said I looked like Yoda (thank you for sharing) and all week I have been in public, even to Juvenile Hall, with no hat. I don't know what people think.
At the Correspondents' Dinner it may or may not be a problem. I mean, I couldn't wear my usual baseball caps and wigs are just too itchy. I even bought one of those five-inch black combs that guys tuck in pockets so I could keep all the ends smoothed down, but I don't think I could just whip that out at the Dinner. (I used to have a stash of combs and brushes but, in a fit of pique last fall I dropped them all in the garbage as unnecessary clutter in my hair-free lifestyle.)
It might take me more than a year to get organized for this one....
Who wouldn't enjoy such party. Extravagant!
