Famed author Janet Evanovich says so!
A group of teachers who read and love Janet Evanovich's Stephanie Plum series decided to take a road trip to Omaha this week for a book signing. Since they are all educators, and therefore, batshit crazy, they decided to dress as characters. Now, I have not read any of these books, but the trip sounded like a hell of a lot of fun, so I went along for the ride. The others gave me two character choices: Sally Sweet, a tranvestite rock star, or Joyce Barnhardt, Stephanie Plum's rival stole her husband and dresses in all black. Since you all know me, you know my choice. Hell yes, tranny rock star! However, after much searching, I still can't find my hot tranny skirt (you all know I have one), so I decided to go as Joyce instead. I can pull off all black really easily, but I won't half-ass a tranny costume.
I show up dressed all in black, and I knew that maybe I'd been set up. We were waiting in the seriously long line, and we drew quite a crowd of Omahanians who wanted pictures of our costumed group. As we'd all gather round for pictures, I'd hear comments like, "I can't believe she came as Joyce!" and "Joyce isn't slutty enough." We finally, after over 3 hours in line at Borders, got up to meet Janet Evanovich. She looked at my nametag, and said "Oh! You're the bitch!" To which I replied, "Oh, you've met me?"
So there you have it. A popular and acclaimed author called me a bitch. I LOVE it! Here are some pictures of the trip.
We have Sally as The Chip Lady, Penny as Stephanie Plum, Robin as Connie, Janet Evanovich, Goldie as Lula (middle-aged former ho), Linda as Grandma, and me as Joyce.
This one is just Janet and me, after she called me a bitch.
