DRAG QUEEN ROBS BURGER KING


NEW ORLEANS -- A New Orleans Burger King recently got a visit from a drag queen with a gun, New Orleans television station WDSU reported.

Security cameras showed the man, wearing a dress with a revealing bust line and hair barrettes, climbed through the takeout window at a Burger King on May 11. He held the employees at gunpoint, demanded money, exited through the same drive-through window and drove away.

"By looking at the vehicle pull up, we can tell that's a pickup," WDSU crime and safety specialist Howard Robertson said. "And if you look at the rims -- you know that's not a Ford or GM. The other thing I wanted to look at was whether he got out the driver’s or passenger’s door to see if he had an accomplice, somebody who was driving his vehicle when he left. But he got out the driver's side."

Robertson said the thief is probably a genuine cross-dresser because his necklace matched the dress, his nails appeared to be painted and the wig was well made.

"Most of the time when somebody puts on a wig they're just trying to hide their identity by putting on something like a Halloween mask, but he's pretty," Robertson said.

Robertson said he was surprised the thief didn't cover his face, though he said it doesn't matter in this case."There's a strong possibility that this person is a cross-dresser and someone in that community will know this guy, especially if they see him on the TV, someone will know him," Robertson said.

Police said the suspect was about 6 feet 1 inch tall and weighed about 180 pounds.

This One's For Liz

It's been a while since I did a dedication, which of course is the very bones of this site. While stumbling around, looking for something to write for the L.O.L.*, I found THIS which immediately made me think of Lizzie.



In case you don't know, Liz's grandmother is a hilarious old bird who enjoys hanging out at the pier in their town, sporting wacky hats and owl pins on her lapel. So of course this means whenever we see an owl, we send it to Liz.

There's a lot of lovely stuff in this gallery. The Pickled Panda reminded me of you, Becks. I think you should get a print for your cubicle. What do you think?



that's blog-speak for Labor of Love. Like it? I just made it up.

Newly Assembled

This took TWO HOURS. My hands still hurt from the Allen wrench madness. It's severely cute in the office nook though.

COUCH!

Couch is here!

Of Swedes and Men

Raise your hand if you assembled your own office chair this morning and then sat in it and got to work?



Just me? Interesting...

Moving in has commenced. On Saturday I bought gobs of furniture from our favorite Swedish furniture maker.



Sunday I moved 31 boxes up 3 flights of stairs, one at a time (2 at a time when Liz came to help). And then went to Target and bought three more flights full of stuff.

In case you're wondering where I am for the next few days (weeks?? months???) I'll be sitting on my dusty floor, assembling shit. This is my life now.
