I can't say I am entering my ____ era, because I feel like I'm always on the cusp of entering an era but I can never fully commit. I thought I was about to enter my punk era but now I am threatening to enter my unicorn princess era. I was thinking about starting to punctuate all my tweets with pink emojis and also exclusively use cursive twitter fonts and see how long it took someone to ask me if I was okay or if my twitter had been hacked, but i think at this point the people who follow me would mute or unfollow me and move on.
Recently I had what i thought was a terrific idea to turn a She-Ra palace into a lamp. I used to have a She-Ra palace. I bought it for $11 or $12 at the flea market. There's no way you're getting a She-Ra palace for that price now. Another She-Ra item that would make a good night light is the horse, because they made a version of the horse that was clear pink plastic. The internet knows that I am casually flirting with the unicorn princess aesthetic because now it's suggesting that I buy pink diamond rings on etsy. I'm sure that girls and women who are into this kind of thing nowadays are having a much better time than being a princess was in the 1980s. I support their dreams and their Selkie dresses. When I was a kid every ballet girl was an insufferable snob so it's been interesting to see the change in girl's girls and what is considered "weird" and also what is considered "preppy". I have never been preppy but I have always been weird and I guess I will always be weird. To other people. Not to me. When I was in college I did a diptych about girliness, for lack of a better word. I went to a women's college and I was so so sick of hearing one of my classmates complain about things being "too girly". You knew what it was when you signed up. Girly is fine. Ain't nothing wrong with it. So I did all the girly things in black and then the other side of the diptych is all the girly things in pink. HOWEVER, even though it is on my college campus, I do not have a picture of it online. I will have to add it to this post when I get home, if I can remember anything by then. It's okay to be girly. It's ok to love pink. Anyone who wants to diss you about it can eat shit.
