M-rice

I put on a grimy men's undershirt, some cutoff overalls, and go into the bathroom. I stick my head in the sink, and the cold water hits my head, and I gasp. I quickly get to my towel and dry my hair off, but not all the way. I get a quarter sized dollop of hair gel, and I brush it into my scalp, and my hair becomes slicked back smoothly. My next retrieval is a black eyeliner pencil. I draw two straight lines, on my upper lip, and snort. I'm looking at my reflection in the mirror, and I am in costume as Maurice, the male love interest of The Darkness of Beyond. I look hilarious. This is the best costume I have ever been in. Oh Maurice. You sexy beast. I giggle uncontrollably.
Maurice is a country musician hoping to become a rapper. Maurice does not want to be anything other that a country rapper, and he is dating the girl from across the street, Phillipa. I had written a musical score for the film we were planning on making, including songs such as When I'm Famous, Ankle Socks, Why do Cowboys go Commando, and I'm too Sweaty. Sadly the movie was never made, and the score was never released, but all songs were written and demos were recorded by me. The DOB is yet to be made.


This is Etti and I Dressed as Phillipa and Maurice
