Because, according to what someone wrote on a bus placard that I saw yesterday, Satin is responsible for people being gay. I’m sure many a drag queen enjoys the look and feel of Satin but did that enjoyment lead them down the path of gayness, because it seems that they were probably already gay to start with. Maybe some don’t even care for Satin. Is Satin still responsible somehow?
What about non-gay drag queens? Maybe they just dress in drag for fun. Is that necessarily a bad thing?
And what of the gay population in general? How does Satin play a role in their lives? Inquiring minds want to know.
I think that’s giving way too much credit to Satin, and not enough to Silk and Velvet who may not have fallen as far as Satin, but at least deserve an honourable mention.
(If anyone wants to start up a group of Velvetists, I’m in.)
I’m sure the Velvetists would be all for Santa. He could be their spokesperson.
I wonder if girls picking out their prom dresses know what their getting themselves into? I’m sure Satin (and Velvet, to some degree) must be responsible for the drinking and deflowering known to happen on Prom night. It might also be the time some of them realize they’re gay and therefore Satinists (and/or Velvetists.) I wonder how so many of them resist that ultimate temptation?
Quite off-topic, but I’m reminded of my daughter, full of knowledge after reading a book on guinea pigs, informing me that her piggie is a Satan guinea pig.
In my head I whole-heartedly agreed (it’s like having a small high-pitched cow running around the house) but asked her why she had reached this conclusion. She showed me the page in her book that described different breeds of cavies.
“Honey, that says ‘satin’”, I told her.
Oddly enough, she had no trouble pronouncing “Abyssinian”.
