Voice Of Venus In Leo… Square Neptune: Run! Run For Cover, ‘Cause I Look Ugly And People Are Looking!!!

Astrology in real life

american-flag.jpgI dressed in locker room after showering at the gym. The seasons are changing here so I put together what I thought was a summer-ish after workout uniform but as I picked up my gym bag I realized I looked stupid. Leaving the locker room, wet-haired which is usual, I glanced at myself in the mirror as I walked by and wondered just what the hell I was thinking.

My pants were red with dots on them… silk pajama pants from probably 10 years ago and I had a comfortable (soft) loose but feminine black t-shirt which would have been fine had I not spilled bleach down the back of it - Oh yeah.

Worst was the navy blue gym bag up against the red dotted pants because you got it. Red, White and Blue, I looked f’kin ridiculous, like an American flag on the bottom and I won’t even mention the shoes.

I got to the front of the gym where the soldier was waiting having finished sooner than I did. I rushed up to him dramatically.

“Oh my God, I’m so sorry,” I said with my eyes like saucers. “Look what I wore!  Jesus Christ, let’s get the hell out of here!”

He laughed.

“Come on, man. I made a mistake with these clothes. We’ve got to move!  We’ve to move, move, move, move, move it before someone sees me!” I said with a grin covering my face. “I am sooooooooo sorry. You’re whole reputation is toast now thanks to me. Who will want to know you?”

He snorted. “What’s wrong with what you’ve got on? You look fine, P. You look fine to me.”

“I know, I know but don’t forget you’re insane so you don’t really know. I’d say, let’s move!  Shall we run to the car?” I asked sincerely.  “I will never do this to you again, I really won’t,” I said as I walked quickly to the car, the soldier following me and beaming.

Once in the car, I breathed a sigh of relief.

“It’s okay we made it,” I said. “Now that was something. That is what I call a special operation… how is my hair, is my hair good?”

    You were almost exactly two months away from being totally appropriate.

    shell - LMFAO!

    I’m lol-ing, but I know exactly what you’ve mean and I’ve done the same damn thing! :-D

    it makes me laugh so much the way you write about certain things that again today I find it appropriate to sacrifice a latte for your tip jar. Also, it makes me feel so much better about myself and my own tragic fashion [non]sense when you write these funny things. Good for the soldier for his response! I should have gotten the hint much sooner, (that it wouldn’t last), when my ex husband [mr. westpoint prim and proper]so often seemed to have occasion to say, “We are not going anywhere with you dressed like that!”

    Hey, I’m a Leo and I’m not laughing so hard. I have to be in LA this week to give a speech. Seasons changed here in the Midwest and I’ve got Elsa’s problem, nothing to wear that won’t look funky coming out of a suitcase. Hope I’m not doomed to the fashion blacklist.

    Patricia:

    If you are talking Los Angeles and not Louisiana
    remember May and June are chilly here in Los Angeles. It is not summer yet. Don’t forget to bring a light jacket because you will need it.

    We know when we see people on the beach in especially in the water in May and June that ‘fer sure’ they are like totally like from the Midwest dude.

    venus in leo, too, here and funny thing is, for the first time, in a long time, been feeling very comfy in my clothes — i look in the mirror and think, yes, there you are…

  8. Des says on 5/5/08 at 6:50 pm:

    wish i had a little leo in me.

  9. Patricia says on 5/5/08 at 7:38 pm:

    Patricia here…hey, Elsa, I have to say although I my weight is higher than it should be, I feel strong and fit. The gym is my home away from home so I guess it adds up eventually into a good feeling.

  10. Patricia says on 5/5/08 at 7:40 pm:

    Hey, Ms. Scarlett,
    Thanks for the weather tip. I can relax a bit.

  11. Elsa says on 5/5/08 at 7:46 pm:

    Well, I feel pretty damned good _ I just don’t like walking around wearing red white and blue which flatters NO ONE, much like the SEA of Bronco Orange I found myself living in when I first moved here. Talk about SHOCK.

    Orange crush, indeed!

    Luckily they updated the bronco colors because I used to sick and swimming, swooning on Sundays - even man woman and child in orange from head to toe, I thought I had landed in insane-ville.

    Elsa the thing for me is this…your hair is always fucking amazing. A person with good hear can wear EVERYTHING. Stop.

  13. kashmiri says on 5/5/08 at 11:24 pm:

    Er, good ‘hair.’ Good grief!

  14. msb says on 5/6/08 at 12:15 am:

    It would be really funny … if I didn’t have that configuration natally.

    So I guess what I’m saying is to be glad it’s just a transit. ;-)
