Not Vicious or Malicious, Just Delovely and Delicious
(With a title like that, didn’t you just KNOW that there had to be a song to go with it?)
It’s a Flashback Friday, friends!
So… once upon a time, Matt and I went on a road trip. Okay, we went on lots of road trips. For this particular one, we were headed to Los Angeles (from Salt Lake City) on I-15. I was 18, he was 19. I had just been thrown out of BYU and he had just come out of the closet once and for all. He We had too much money and absolutely no sense of responsibility.
At some point, we pulled over–along that narrow, terrifying little piece of I-15 in Arizona. Matt handed me a Farrah Fawcett wig, which we just happened to have brought with us, of course, and a shiny satin dress with sparkly tights. I’m sure that the conversation went something like this:
Matt: Hey, put these on and then pretend to hitch-hike when truckers drive by. It’ll be awesome.
Brillig: Okay [as I proceeded to rip off what I’d had on and don my new wardrobe].
Really, it didn’t take much effort on his part to convince me to play along with his crazy games. And wow! Aren’t I fantastic?
(Some of you got a sneak peak of this pic at Cre8buzz–see? One more reason to join!)
Alas, our friend Matt doesn’t know how to scan pictures–even though his sugar daddy partner has a scanner– so this is a photo that he took of a photo. (And I tell ya what, somewhere between the camera, the picture, the picture of the picture, the emailing and the uploading, my boobs were lost. Seriously!!! Don’t I look like a little boy in drag? Hahaha. I SWEAR I wasn’t that flat…)
Ahem!
Anyway, you’ll be happy to know that no one actually stopped for me. Rude, right? Good thing… I don’t think we actually had a plan for what to do if someone HAD stopped.
That whole trip was one of the craziest of my entire life. From Vegas to LA to the cruise ship we then boarded and took to Mexico, it was non-stop Flashback Friday/Soap Opera Sunday material. We will undoubtedly be revisiting this story at some point.
Happy Flashback Friday, all!

LOL, Brillig - you KNOW you need to do an SOS on this!
I’m glad you mentioned the boy in drag thing. I was feeling bad for thinking it.
Awsome photo! At first glance I actually thought it was the cover of a 1980s Album he.he.he.
I was wondering about the new Buzz pic.
That is so funny. I can’t wait for the flashbacks and SOS’s to come!
Yeah, I too am glad that you mentioned the whole drag thing because I thought the same thing. I think it’s because of the wig. You and Matt were CRAZY! I wish I had a gay buddy. Sadly, I only had a gay boyfriend.
tooooooooo funny this story..loved the pic but when I saw it I right away thought that you were missing Farrah’s boobs…glad to hear you just misplaced them…lmao.
Um, should I admit I borrowed that dress and wore it to a high school dance? Yes? No?
Hmmmmm thinking about it.
HAHAHAH
Kate!!!! HAHAHAHA! I completely forgot about that. I bet YOU didn’t look like a boy in drag… Sigh. You gotta post that picture.
You are SOFREAKINAWESOME!!! HAAAWWWT!!!
This is classic! I would love to hear this whole story! You crazy woman, you!
Thank you, Brillig. Now my weekend starts off right with a picture of you that really Does look like a little boy in drag. The image is burned in my brain. Happy?
Fab post Brillig.
I love that you did that.
And I loved Dee-Lite’s Groove is in the Heart.
I still know all the words.
I’m boogeying with Miss E right now.
(Hmmm, boogeying looks wrong, but spelling, schmelling, let’s rock.)
I. Love. This. Song.
Oh yeah, nice post, groovy picture. Now excuse me, I need to dance!
*snerk* This is too awesome.
And the song? Classic. My gramma LOVED this song. Brings back many happy memories.
Oh I heart me some Dee Lite!
I love Flashback Friday. Ahh makes me think of sillier crazier times.
First off - LOVE that you are showcasing some fabulous Dee-Lite! Always a good choice. Second - didn’t Alyssa wear that dress to a dance? And third - I think you look like a nimble little minx in your Farrah get-up! I couldn’t pull that off…and I am that flat. *Sigh* Have you mentioned to Matt how much I love him? I love hearing these stories about you two!
Oooh, it was KATE who wore the dress!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I knew I had seen it in some dance pic from High School - classic! Oh, and I should mention that she also wore WHITE TIGHTS and some fabulous FOAMISH shoes. Yes, kids - foamish. Love you Kate - don’t hate me!
Oh i totally admit to the foamish shoes. THEY WERE PLATFORM SLIP ONS.
Brilly and i laughed about it for a long time today.
{hangs head in shame}
That is hilarious! It would have made for a better story had someone stopped to pick you up though. Thanks for the bloggy music to go along with the story.
Holy cow. I’ve been on some wild road trips, but I think you just topped me, sister.
My son is boogying all over the living room! Thanks fo that
OMG! You do look like a boy in drag. How did you do that because I’ve seen pictures of you before. You most certainly do NOT look like a boy!
Love Dee-lite and you do look like a boy! What a great story with clearly more to come.
Love that hair! It’s so Farrah!
Haha…I thought that picture looked like it was in rough shape!
I miss road trips..though none of mine were ever crazy like that!!!
