whole lotta other stuff

the spirit will make its appearance
with bright red lipstick
in this world but a dream
more distant than it seems

Elevators always make people
Elevators always make people think about certain things. Dylan I had a job for the summer one year back in the early eighties. I was a "camera girl" in the AC casinos. Well, it was a habit of many camera girls (and I'm sure cocktail waitresses and showgirls too) to use the time in the elevator to "primp", and if you were alone, part of the primping ritual was pulling up your panty hose., which almost always involved pulling up your skirt. One day my sister said to me, "I used to pull up my panty hose running from the restaurants to the lab until I found out there were cameras in the elevators". I never didd it again after that, but I always laugh when I think about the cameramen....lmao.
