Today

Bought a cute traditional Vietnamese dress for the show. Wish we could use Disgrasian as the title, but I guess it’s already trademarked! Shucks! I was thinking Stuck or maybe Frustrasian, which aren’t quite as good, but still express the same sort of feeling that we’re sort of aiming for in terms of talking about the seemingly static nature of race and racism… We’ll see what Trina chooses! :3

Other than that, the guy at the shop was a total JERKFACE!!!! [do I sound like an angry teenager yet?]

I had 3 dresses to try on. I asked the guy if there were dressing rooms and he looked at the dresses, looked at me, and then said something along the lines of, “Those two dresses are too small, you can’t try those on, but I’ll let you try on the other one.”

………..

1. He was right.

2. But wtf let the customer decide if an outfit fits or not, it’s not your call, dude.

3. Their dressing room was a shady storage closet that used to be a bathroom.
