Behind the title

I have a wonderful friend by the name of Ross. He's like 28 and has his PhD in Music or Faggotry or something of the like. When we were going to school together in Texas he used to drive us down to Dallas on the weekends and whip out his Gucci wallet and D&G shades... like at night in clubs he would wear shades, and often times they would find their way to the top of his shiny ass bald head. He would sing opera, parade around in PJ's and wigs from his many shows, and quote Tyler Perry's Medea movies and Strangers with Candy episodes. One of his best friends in the world was a 6 foot 4 one eyed lesbian who went by the nickname of Sugarpussy. After I moved away from Texas I got a call from a good friend of mine who told me that Ross was directing and starring in a play produced in Dallas with the title of (not exact but an approximate) Thanks for Being a Friend. And by "Friend" I Mean Giving me Herpes... clearly you can guess why Ross and I got along so well.

Anyway, when we were in college together he would call me every single day while he was brunching at the gayest, most overpriced shit-house in all of Denton, Texas. Often times I couldn't make out words over the clanking together of his mimosa glasses but when I could understand the filth coming out of his mouth he was always saying things like, "I have to go buy new piano gloves, I saw some nice green ones with sequins," or, "quick David get over here I have a bottle of Percocet and Sugarpussy is doing Jazzersize in my living room!" Ross's life always seemed so glamorous to a little gay boy like me, and yet oddly I was happy encountering that glamour second hand; admiring it from a distance like you do a monkey in the wild. Eventually whenever Ross would call me I would answer and the first words that would come out of my mouth were, "Wigs and Pianos!", because I always assumed he was doing something glamorous.

When I was thinking of a title for my blog, and if ever some day I do end up writing a book, I decided that, at least for the time being, Wigs and Pianos would work perfectly.

I plan to post entries on news topics, latest dating adventures, life in one of the most Granola cities on the planet, obnoxious ass celebrities, and other random shit that I find interesting.

However you ended up at this corner of the web, I welcome you.
