Just sparkling water, please. I’m sure you’ve heard the story. I went to a party, and I wore a dragon costume borrowed from my sister, but it wasn’t a costume party, so I was out of place. And the costume just worked instantly. I have what we’d call ‘resting bitch face.’ It used to get me in a lot of trouble when I was a performer, because I always had that expression. My dad does, too. I’d gotten fired from all sorts of jobs because people complained about my attitude onstage. But the costume just made it work; the idea of a dragon with resting bitch face was perfect. And then I got hired back at those same places that fired me, now that I was wearing the dragon costume.
