Hooray for Batman
Wednesday, September 9th, 2009 at 7:45 amSome of you may remember that Batman lives in our building (Milord met him in the elevator — there is obviously no batpole here). Well, Milord has also seen and identified Batman without his batsuit — he teaches martial arts somewhere in the office section of the building. Yesterday, just outside the construction site across the street, Batman disarmed a guy who was waving an apparent gun around, threw the gun onto the roof of a building, and held the guy down until the police arraved. The gun turned out to be a replica — available on the street here — but hey, it’s nice to know that if the gun had been real, it would have been out of play thanks to Batman. I just wish he’d been wearing his suit at the time of the incident.
Speaking of gunmen, last night I dreamed I was revising The Art of Dying, but it was live action, and Gwynn was wearing a floor-length pink chiffon peignoir over his damask tailcoat. There was some argument about the peignoir, although I can’t remember whether he was in favour of ditching it or keeping it. And his hair was up in an elaborate Edwardian do — probably inspired by Milord having returned from a trip to a friend’s village with his hair in a beautiful braid arranged by a nimble-fingered child of the family. The braids I do are very workaday in comparison — perhaps I need to go to a hairdressing workshop!

Man, I wish my neighborhood had its own batman. (And I dunno, I don’t think pink is quite Gwynn’s color. XD)

Or Aeon Flux, because it shouldn’t be all about the dudes!
He says he’s secure enough in his masculinity to wear pink; nothing goes with six-shooters and a nasty Turkish sword like a pair of pale pink breeches clinging to slender athletic buttocks and straining across a Bowie-like Area. But he can’t recall why he was wearing a peignoir, and suspects the matter is probably best left discreetly uninvestigated.

I think a pink riding coat would work better for him.

English hunting pinks? He loves England, but isn’t so sure about the landed gentry there. ‘Too stupid,’ he says.

True they do use lead pipes for plumbing.
That might be the reason for it.
