Interior decorators, hairdressers and makeup artists are all gay stereotypes. Women can feel good about themselves with the right amount of encouragement.

Annually I quietly celebrate one of the most important events of the year that isn't my birthday or a made up holiday. For it was on this day in 1989 that I passed all of my exams (with flying colours I might add) ... http://backflipboy.bananasontoast.org/?p=543 It's almost half a century since I escaped my uterine gulag and began my slow and steady rise to ultimate power. While there are still just over 6 years to go before I hit the big 5-oh, that time will fly past in an instant so it's never too early ... http://backflipboy.bananasontoast.org/?p=541 Before we get on with what I've won, let me first apologise to you dear reader for my month long lack of writing to you.
