Well, I have finally made it!
I am here at the "Y" in New Orleans waiting for my two sugars -- Michael Paz
and Jack Nielson -- to show! (They said they'd be over three hours ago.)
It's such a long story, JMDLers, and so few of you know about it, I hardly
know where to begin . . .
It all started at this year's spectacular Jonifest, when sweet Susan Guzzi
helped me accept and love my inner Ethel. Then dear Kay Ashley helped me to
"get real," as Dr. Phil says, and find the courage to perform as La Merm.
Well, Michael and Jack *loved* my performance as Ethel, and those two
sweethearts have been positively *begging* me to move down here to find fame
and fortune performing as Ethel Murfman. Since no one has been begging me to
do much of anything lately, except pay my Visa and Mastercard bills, I took
them up on their offer. Now my future looks so bright, I have to wear $7,000
Versace rhinestone sunglasses -- even at night!
The past few weeks have been a fabulous whirlwind of shopping for dresses and
wigs and make-up. Now -- at last -- I am ready for my close-up, boys!
I am sitting here in a stunning Dior number with cobalt sequins and one of
those flouncy blue skirts Ethel loved so dearly. (For a full-figured gal, I
look dazzling, if I say so myself!) The rest is history in the making --
starring moi! Really, JMDLers, I know I've got nothing to hit but the
heights!
There's even a sweet French-speaking man in the next room who keeps stopping
by to tell me I look like Merde, whoever she is! (Must be some gorgeous local
heartbreaker!)
Well, I should go adjust my make-up and my chonies before the boys get here .
. .
But I want you all to know, each and every one of you 800 beautiful souls,
even you lonely lurkers, that I shall never forget you, no matter how wealthy
and famous I get.
Now where in the city can those boys be . . .
MWAH!!!
XO,
--Ethel Murfman, formerly known as "the other BM!"
