Indeed a fool of mine.

Last night it was a karaoke boxing day, and I sang:

Make It With You -- Bread
Rock DJ -- Robbie Williams
Bills Bills Bills -- Destiny's Child
Since U Been Gone -- Kelly Clarkson
No One Knows -- Queens of the Stone Age
Don't Fall in Love with a Dreamer -- Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes
which got cut off about 2/3 of the way into it and so [livejournal.com profile] vfc and I stayed on stage and went directly into.....
Magic Stick -- Lil Kim and 50 Cent

The crowd went unexpectedly crazy. Which basically means about 10 people took to the dance floor. But hey, there wasn't much dancing last night, so it was special.

Also, I was dressed like a priest for the evening. See, at the thrift store last week, I was looking for new button down black shirts, because that's what I'm into right now (they're easy, sleek, and I'm lazy) and I found a handful of clerical shirts. I bought only one, but I think I might go back and get another. I wore it out for the first time last night, just as a regular shirt, but at one point I buttoned it up to the top, folded up a napkin and gave myself a collar. And performed Queens of the Stone Age with it on. And when the laserdisc of the Kenny Rogers song fcked up, I tore it off and threw it on the floor in a fit of mock rage, which amused the KJ. Apparently some of the more clueless members of the karaoke club thought it was in earnest. Now I'm a little obsessed with being Father Raymond. [livejournal.com profile] 0595, please make sure you e-mail me that photo when you get a chance. Bless you.

I apologize to any catholics in the audience. I don't mean it in a mean or sacrilegious way. Anything I fetishize also comes with a hefty amount of respect and awe.

Where did you find these clerical shirts? I'm envious.

And don't worry too much, I think most Catholics fetishize priests secretly. Speaking as one.

I don't do much fetishizing of priests or nuns, but perhaps if I had seen your rendition of QSA I would feel differently.

Dude. You dressed as a priest would be hot. And yeah, as a fairly strictly raised Anglican/Episcopalian... vestments totally do it for me.

You said some Village Thrift store was where you got your shirt? I don't mean to copy you or anything, but I'm really interested in getting one.

I'll send you some photos tonight, so be sure to check your raybear at livejournal dot com e-mail.
