🌶️💃🏻🎸Brat House: Boobs, Bums and Bedlam🌶️💃🏻🎸

I remember hearing that Randy Rhodes had died. I had just seen him on tour earlier that year. That was one of those "I remember exactly where I was" moments as well. An amazing talent, playful and serious, classically trained and playing metal. Brenda, I don't think you are much an Ozzy fan, but listen to this. Randy wrote it for his mother, Dee. The label didn't want it on the album, but Ozzy loved it and fought back.


That was beautiful.

People talk about events that are huge in their memory. Things they remember exactly where they were when…. I remember being at work, when I heard about a helicopter crash, and they were not sure if it was Eric Clapton or Stevie Ray who was on it. I was totally convinced it was Clapton (not proud of that, I was young!) I was positive that Stevie was okay. And of course, later learned he wasn’t. I had been upset about celebrities passing before, but not like that. I was just in shock. I felt like I lost a close friend. It seemed a very personal loss to me. A year or two later, I was going through one of my challenges in my train wreck life, and was singing “Life By The Drop” in a band. I didn’t drink at all then, but the heartache of that song, spoke to my soul. Still does.

I find it amazing when people share these kinds of experiences as it seems to be an ubiquitous experience. I only remember two celebrity deaths affecting me... Chadwick Boseman in 2020 (I literally stopped and said a prayer for a lost icon who was inspiring millions of brown and black kids) and Chester Bennington of Linkin Park in 2017. When I heard he had died, I crumpled to the floor and I couldn't explain why I was sobbing and couldn't speak to my bf. As a vocalist, he was amazing and he wrote some of the most authentic lyrics I'd ever heard. To lose him to mental health issues, made me vow to do everything in my power to make sure I didn't lose any more good men. Rest in peace Chester ❤️
Brenda no obligation to watch the video... Linkin Park for some is an acquired taste 💖

I am glad you liked it. Seriously happy. Music was such an important part of me (still is) and it is powerful to me when what I love connects with another person. So thank you.

The celebrity death that hit me the hardest was Phil Hartman. Being a theater kid (among other things), and doing a lot of improv and sketch comedy, he was one of those performers who just made it seem effortless, with an insane amount of talent and honed skill. From everything I have heard and read, he was just a genuinely great human being, a loving and caring person, and very down to earth. His murder, and all that lead up to it, flattened me. It was so sudden, so out of left field, just a shock to the system. I couldn't watch any of his work for years without getting weighed down in the emotions of it all. I would tear up, usually laughing while I did. It still hits.

In music, it was Elliot Smith. One, his music was so vulnerable and transparent, it affected me greatly. Two, being a Portland kid, I had followed his career for years, from Heatmeiser to his solo work. And finally, I did sound and lights for concerts and shows, and I had worked for him a few times, with Heatmeiser and on his own, so that personal contact, as small and fleeting as it was, added a lot to it, but it was more than that. (I worked with Nirvana at least three times that I can remember, and Cobain's death didn't hit me near as hard.) He was a sweet, seriously fucked up genius in a world that he didn't quite fit into. I loved him a little. I still miss Elliot Smith.

Dear @AlwaysDancing,

What happened to the days where you had a Pepsi waiting for @BrendaBear, a Celcius waiting for @Sammysub07, and a hot cup of coffee with almondmilk creamer waiting for me? Ah, how I miss those days of old. Perhaps if I had had this gift, I wouldn't have spilled the water all down my legs when prepping my coffee maker. Alas, that is no one's fault but my own regardless. Simply wishful thinking and fond memories.

Your favorite but also least favorite brat,

Chloe


Letter 2
Dear @UnquietDreams,

Why is Portland so very far away from Florida? Why are you not my neighbor where I can come over to a cup of French Press coffee, steamy and ready? I would bring my own almondmilk, but try some of that delicious-sounding lavender syrup. I know geographical issues aren't your fault. But as Professor, I thought you might have logical insight that I can throw out a second story window because that's not really what I want. Forgive me, I don't mean to be tangential. I'm simply distracted by the mess I caused when my hand slipped and coffee grounds scattered.

Your favorite brat but only if by favorite we mean close but not quite especially because you don't play favorites,

Chloe

Dear @Chloe_Harper,

Stop writing weird letters to men who carry no responsibility for the destruction you've caused. Look at this place! Water everywhere, including all over yourself, coffee grounds spilt across counter and floors. Clean yourself up, drink the coffee you miraculously managed to make, and sit down. I will take away your writing privileges before you bring someone like @SalaciousMonkey22 into this when we all know he's never done anything wrong ever in his life! Tie your thumbs bitch! And maybe don't use a ceramic mug today, you know, for safety.

Yours truly, and you'll never get rid of me,
You
 
Dear @Chloe_Harper ,

Thank you for being your wonderful, beautiful, playful, authentic, you. I'm very sorry to hear that this morning you discovered you actually have the grace and skills of a barista who is still very drunk from last night, and doesn't know where that new tattoo of a high heeled shoe came from, or why it is on her arm. But we are all delighted you finally successfully managed to make some coffee, and are sharing yourself with us.

And Chloe, as troublesome as your morning coffee was, at least you don't share your house with Kitty PeeBody.

But... cold Pepsi for me, hot coffee for you... we got this, Honey! Today is going to be glorious!!!

Ok, I wanted to both 🤣 and 😍 this one. Silly Lit limiting my reactions and feelings.

Grace and skills of a barista still drunk from last night 😂😂😂 oh how that whole section resonated so hard with me 🤣 I've never gotten a tattoo while intoxicated, but a friend of mine and I apparently designed tattoos for each in sharpie on each other one night. So I did wake up afraid I had gotten a really bad tattoo 🤣🤣🤣

Thank you Brenda 🫂❤️😘 you always know how to make me smile. Even when, after I sent these letters, I sneezed while walking with my coffee and... well ow and of fucking course were the words yelled into the void.

You would think the universe would know that if it wants to punish me, I prefer spankings 🙄 gosh universe!

Glad I didn’t wake up with any tattoos. Silly night
 
Zero for me. Never had any desire. They can look amazing on other people though 🥵
I've always loved them. My Grandpa had 2. He would point to them and be like "never get a tattoo. Look at how they look on old wrinkled skin like mine". But, I just thought they were so cool, and they had stories behind them. So, at 20 I got my first (and currently only) one. But have been plotting more.

Some people look damn good with tattoos 😍 I can admire quite a few on others that I wouldn't get for me.
