And I have a secret pain fetish…joking, joking I think the waxing will now be happening closer to the main event just because of permission difficulties. But I’m still up for it. For some reason I have Fifi LaRue in my head for a name so it’s a toss-up between Fifi and Mary. > [@Ghanima](#): > > Nice to see you, \_ticky! Nice to see you too babe! Thanks again to you all. ---

> [@](#): > > Using the pet/street model I am… Spot Highway 124. Not so sexy. On to **tick’s** delimma. Spoofing you doper name gives us, let’s see: A tick is a blood sucking parasite - maybe Paris? “nocturnal” means “of the night”, or “active at night”. A blood sucker who is active at night = a vampire. Count Dracula was a vampire. Feminizing that we get Countess…Contessa! **Contessa Paris**. The drag version of **noturnal\_tick**. Or you could distill it further. Contessa shortens to Tessie, Paris leads to “french”, which leads to “french tickler” - voila! - **Tessie Tickler**. Could I make a living doing this? ---

Well Tuesdays come and gone. And it’s sad to say but I did not get to dress up. ☹ I got a lovely pink number, found a nice, if unruly, wig and was very close to finding some heels in my size but alas the university has struck us down. I believe it was the vice-chancellor who stepped in and prevented the comedy club organisers from giving us permission until we recieved the official documentation from the charity. So until we get sponsored I’m afraid everything is put on hold. On the plus side I do like my dress… 😃 ---

Well why not just do it for fun? Dress like a lady and go out to a bar. ---
