My Refrigerator

I have these two finger puppets on my fridge-- yes, they're magnets too. Virginia Woolf and Frida Kahlo. The place where I bought them had lots of the male puppets and didn't have the Zora Neale Hurston, which I definitely would have bought if they'd have had her. It's really funny to have little finger puppets of these great figures. The two I have both have their hair in buns, and that's where the little magnets go, so their heads are sort of stuck to the fridge while their little finger-puppet bodies hang loose. I found a perverse sort of amusement in Frida hanging out with Virginia. I think, actually, that the two of them might have not gotten along. Frida was so outrageous in her personality and Virginia was very much the shy Victorian-type. But who knows-- they might have loved each other.

My fridge also has a Diva David. If you've ever seen the David/Venus magnets, this is like that only instead of boy clothes, you have drag clothes for David. I notice that in houses where people had both Venus & David people tended to cross dress the two-- this one comes that way. Some friends/co-workers of Andrew's once bought David some "boy clothes" because, I guess, they were disturbed all that he had was drag. But the funny thing is, the stuff they bought him ends up looking pretty gay on that statue. David is just too hunky and well-built to be most straight men. The clothes the friends bought are Hawaiian vacation-- so there are these tight tight little blue spandex shorts with a major camel toe. Very hilarious.

I also have that magnetic poetry, which someone is always trying to make naughty dirty poems out of. Come on people. Show some creativity. I even took the word "sausage" off the fridge cause I was sick of seeing what people did with it.

Of course, there are also pictures of family, friends' babies, etc. We have a few really cool fortune cookies we particularly like. It's rather cluttered, but I like it that way.

Just a slice of my kitchen for you, even though you didn't ask. I'm actually waiting for the furnace fixing guy to be done so I can take Andrew some lunch (leftover gumbo... mmmmm) and had to do something to stop pacing and being irritated he's not done yet. So there you go. :)
