I'm trying to seriously go into charity work and am in turn trying to learn as much as I can. Charitable and spiritual organizations often refer to 'service' and 'being of service'. I'm sorry, I'm Gay and came out at a very early age and have still not grown up enough so that every 1 in 3 times I hear 'service'... I'm sorry I'm going to giggle.
"This is the stoop lady who sits on 14th St. by Nowhere bar all day wearing one fabulous house frock after another and drinking from her brown bag to go. I nicknamed her Birdy and sometimes she snaps to attention and actually says hello. Other times she just curses under her breath. i like the latter Birdy better." Photo by Walt Cessna NYC 08 * * * * * I love 'Birdie'! I see her on Avenue C sometimes asking for a "ciggawets". I always give her booze money. A girlfriend of mine once ignored her when Birdie was panhandling and she called my friend a c*nt! -R.E.
This is what we need to do with Birdie, start a cult around her and have all the designers in our power make outfits for her like Edith Massey. I know you would join. The Kool-Aid punch would be awesome, I assure you.
