For my large series assignment for my Photo III course I chose to travel around Kansas and shoot various landscapes and landmarks that most people aren't aware are in Kansas.
I got to go to the Monument Rocks, Castle Rock Badlands, Cheyenne Bottoms Wildlife Wetlands, Wilson Lake, and Mushroom Rock State Park. There's still a few more places I would like to visit when I get the chance and will add those to this book when I do.
You can preview a few of the pages here on this website.

AZEVEDO, Eliete Farias; BARBOSA, Leandro Augusto and CASSIANI, Silvia Helena De Bortoli. Administration of antibiotics subcutaneously: an integrative literature review. Acta paul. enferm. [online]. 2012, vol.25, n.5, pp.817-822. ISSN 1982-0194. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-21002012000500026.
OBJECTIVE: To characterize scientific articles related to the use of antibiotics by the subcutaneous route in patients with difficult venous access in palliative care, regarding local tolerance and therapeutic efficacy. METHODS: Integrative literature review conducted in the databases of LILACS, CINAHL, PubMED, EMBASE and the Cochrane Library, using Evidence-Based Practice as a theoretical framework. RESULTS: Seventeen articles were selected with ten different antibiotics, with ceftriaxone being the most studied antibiotic. Therapeutic efficacy was observed based on pharmacokinetic and clinical parameters. The local tolerance was associated with greater dilution of antibiotics. With administration of aminoglycosides, serious injuries and tissue necrosis were observed. A low tolerance reinforced the restriction of use only to this class of antibiotics. CONCLUSION: The predictions of therapeutic efficacy and good tolerance suggest a possibility to be considered when there is need of an alternative parenteral route of administration, but caution is advised, since none of the studies evaluated patients in palliative care.
Keywords : Anti-bacterial agents [administration & dosage]; Injections, subcutaneous; Treatment outcome; Palliative care.

Drilling holes in concrete may seem like a daunting task, one with which an amateur would feel more inclined to call a trained professional. Drilling through harder materials seems more advanced and difficult, but the process can remain simple and safe with the correct tools.
It is important to note, as with all power tools, to make sure that one has the proper ear and eye protection.
Whether one needs to drill holes to hang a shelf, do some renovations in one's basement, install lights or complete other do-it-yourself tasks, a hammer drill can be your best friend. The following is a basic overview as to how the hammer drill functions best and how to use it in the most safe and efficient way.
Buying a Hammer Drill
Hammer drills are manufactured by numerous companies, many of which we are familiar with and some no-names. When looking to purchase a reliable and long lasting drill, one should take brand names into account. There are cheaper options, but they tend to have less power and a much shorter life spam. Brand names such as Bosch, DeWalt and Makita are known for their resilience, power and good name. It is worth the extra money to invest in a quality product that will last for a long time.
There are certain features to look for when purchasing a hammer drill. These features include: variable speed, hammering function, depth setting, good grip (a handle for your other hand is very helpful) and power. After your purchase, you should become familiar with your hammer drill. As with all tools, one should read through the manual to familiarize oneself with all the functions available.
Selecting the Proper Drill Bit
Drilling through cement board, cinder block and masonry with a hammer drill requires special masonry bits. Select a bit with special carbide tips designed to withstand the impact of hammer drills. For excellent cut quality in concrete, choose either the Masonry Carbide Tipped SDS PLUS Drill Bits or Masonry Carbide Tipped SDS MAX Drill Bits.
On Your Way to Drill
People tend to use hammer drills to drill holes for plastic anchors or to create a hole to feed wires through. Make sure you have a selection of bits to ensure the most accurate size.
Set the Depth
Most hammer drills have a depth stop attached to the drill. Read the user manual and learn how to use it. If your machine does not have a depth gage or you prefer to work without it, a great alternative is to simply wrap tape around your drill bit where you need to stop drilling.
Hold Your Drill Properly
Holding your drill properly is the difference between success and failure in drilling the required hole. If not properly balanced, the drill bit can run leaving you with a much wider diameter. Therefore, it is important to first make sure that you are well balanced. Stand with your feet shoulders width apart and the drill firmly in your grip to where you can lean into it. Have one hand holding the drill like a gun with a finger on the "trigger" and use the other hand to keep the drill level.
When drilling, make sure that your drill bit is hitting its mark and your bit is perpendicular to the drilling surface. Start the drill on slow and begin to establish a hole where your bit will no longer slip. After establishing this hole, begin to speed up the drill and continue at full speed until you hit your depth. Throughout this drilling, you may create a buildup of dust within the hole that has not been removed through normal drilling.
Please Note
When drilling, it is not too uncommon for the drill to hit a hard spot where drilling becomes very difficult. Do not force your drill too hard. Simply getting a masonry nail and hammering it into the hard spot to break the concrete can enable you to continue on smoothly.
For excellent cut quality in concrete, choose either the Masonry Carbide Tipped SDS PLUS Drill Bits or Masonry Carbide Tipped SDS MAX Drill Bits by Amana Tool.

As for the substance nicotine - the active substance in terms of chemicals that interact with the nervous system to the smoker - lead to some getting used to not deny that at all, but getting used to that happening substance nicotine, although there is the chemical in them except that the psychological aspect is an important aspect, because the smoker follows a kind of ritual very own; Vidkhan at times and certain places under certain mood, and there are links from other things cigarette Kcop of coffee or tea, or with a certain group of people ... And so on. Authorization; these aspects of the psychological aspects are strong and true and that next to the biological and chemical. We do not deny that the smoker who smokes heavily be vulnerable to some of the effects or withdrawal symptoms very simple to nicotine, is known too that the smoker if it stops suddenly may happen to him a kind of anxiety, tension or dizziness simple, but that does not last more than three days, in the worst cases, the for a week, and this withdrawal reaches its peak on the second day and then begins to decline and disappear completely after a week, but probably remains the psychological aspect of ritual that I mentioned to you in this letter was issued Authorization; when you've completed the forty days, there is no chemical or biological effect for nicotine in your body, I can assure you this scientific fact very clear. These symptoms Tantapk of anxiety and tension I think as aspects of psychological rather than as aspects of the biological real, and I would not connect at all between them and you quit smoking, then praise be to God you have completed great and this by the grace of God to you, and anxiety and tension may have other reasons, but the fact that you As long as you removed yourself from the cigarette must compensate yourself with something else, yourself Instead of taking advantage of your time and See Exercise and Sport, communication and attend seminars reading ... These alternatives are great cover for you, God willing, what I've missed. Authorization; so must the type of internal self-compensation, at the same time that I would not find justification for yourself, never link between these symptoms that have occurred to you, smoking, and if there were symptoms of withdrawal symptoms is to be real in the first few days as I've mentioned. I see that I do not mind never to take a drug very simple anti-anxiety, there is a drug is very simple, known as Motevall not mind that you eat a rate of one tablet at noon for two weeks, and then dealt with a grain of day after day for up to two weeks, then stop eating. Believe me, that sport and exercise seriously will also help you clearly.
Authorization; These symptoms are not of never quitting smoking; because the period in which the effects of withdrawal and the obvious is over for you, and we must congratulate you on that achievement as I've mentioned. And raised by people about smoking is unfortunately very common in the community, and we must tell you that the pharmaceutical companies have played a big role in it, and now these companies have become go and promoted in the regions and countries where there is no awareness of the full or where there are no laws that govern smoking, and become exploited ordinary people are ugly, then what is promoted is a lie and does not apply at all the constants scientific or not there is what is supported by the fundamentals of science that so and so had to quit smoking and then suffered a stroke, but on the contrary, knows that smoking is a major cause of stroke and cancers and infections of the liver and small arteries, called the so-called ... And people trying to justify trying to promote, has heard many things, I have heard that So and so has died was not a smoker .. Why he died? People say things that are not acceptable and funny you should not listen to them. Believe me, I heard from some people that leave the alcohol can lead to death because alcohol helps to expand the coronary artery in the heart, to imagine such a thing and so many things said about and promoted by the name of science which is not the facts.
As for your question: Do you smoke two cigarettes a day is very harmful? I say to you: Yes.. I think so, and I think that the issue of smoking must be treated seriously, and the man who is true to himself should not be there any kind of justification for him to approach the cigarette, Valsijarh and a half or ten cigars or twenty cigarettes I think they are all harmful, I do not say it in the same proportion of the damage But the man who never start does not guarantee, the matter may rise may rise, For Rights to avert himself away and stay away full. That you mentioned reminded me of one of the research famous conducted by a psychiatrist named (Davis) - who was pro-Alekholiyn who have failed to stop - and stated that he can Kholiyn can eat a cup or two cups every night, and he has his experiments and Avni all his life in this, but turned out at the end of the matter is that reported from the ideas and opinions has led to a lot of damage for many people, it has been follow-up cases that allowed them to deal with these quantities simple, and in the view that most of them were dealing with larger quantities in secret, even from the attended and eating small amounts simple and become more addicted and attached to the wines and the rate of handling of the wine, and when paired this sample with samples other found that the rate of cirrhosis of the liver in the sample, which have resorted to drink disciplined or organized to cirrhosis of the liver and its center is very high, then A person has to move away from suspicion, and must be kept the same , and it is not any kind of bargaining or any kind of justification .. These are scientific facts, and I repeat that I am very happy that you stopped smoking and I congratulate you on that, and you have patience and steadfastness

Republican Rep. Steve Pearce of New Mexico might be rehashing the battle of the sexes and the "war on women" all at the same time with his memoir Just Fly the Plane, Stupid! that was published last month where he expresses his beliefs about how wives are supposed to submit to their husbands, according to a report that was posted in the Washington Post on Wednesday.
Pearce, who is a Vietnam veteran, explains in his book how families need to have a leadership structure in place where everyone has a role similar to the military setup. And once the Bible is introduced, the structure becomes the wife being obedient to her husband.
"The wife's submission is not a matter of superior versus inferior; rather, it is self-imposed as a matter of obedience to the Lord and of love for her husband," writes Pearce.
He emphasizes that in his view, submission does not mean inferiority. It means that husbands and wives have to play different roles in the relationship.
The wife still has a say in major decisions, but from a submissive position, which is no more than an employee making a suggestion to a boss.
And in the real world, the boss or the person who is in a position of power will ultimately have the final say, which to a point makes it seem as if conservatives and Christians like Pearce who buy into this female submission ideology are declaring that the best that a wife/woman can hope for is to be a non-glamorous, family lobbyist to her husband.
"The wife is to voluntarily submit, just as the husband is to lovingly lead and sacrifice," writes Pearce citing the Bible.
"The husband's part is to show up during the times of deep stress, take the leadership role and be accountable for the outcome, blaming no one else," writes Pearce.
According to a report posted on Wednesday in talkingpointsmemo.com, Pearce spokesman Dan Hazelwood released a statement saying:
"It is unfortunate The Washington Post has ignored the facts and writes a headline the opposite of the story. The Post falsely and inaccurately mischaracterizes Pearce's comments. The chapter in his book discusses how the Pearce's manage their relationship and how they grappled with the bible's words. This was a piece of either sloppy journalism or willful intent to deceive. The words clearly written show that Pearce believes the phrase 'submission' is widely misunderstood in society and criticizes those who distort the bible to justify male dominance."
But regardless of how Pearce, Hazelwood and many other Christians and conservatives try to spin or redefine the definition of the word "submission," if one person has been genetically, ideologically and permanently ordained to be the leader as opposed to earning that responsibility through the results of their actions, it does become an issue of superior versus inferior based on the same old, rigged, patriarchal monarchy that it has always been with or without the Jesus stamp of approval.
There is no equality in submission, and there is no sharing of power in submission. It is where the recessive party yields its power over to dominance. If Pearce and Hazelwood are unhappy with that definition, then perhaps they should find another word.

Why Do Kids Hate Disneyland?by Adam Sass on Jun 13, 2012 • 1:47 pm 4 Comments
Disneyland! Little did Walt realize 57 years ago, when he opened his park to the public, that it would one day become a place where local college students would have the absolute silliest time of their lives and children would scream as if they were being burnt by candle wax.
Pictures and video from the brilliant, brilliant site KidsCryingAtDisneyland.com. You must go immediately, and weep with them.
The Disney Parks have morphed into a kind of Hunger Games, a baroque land where the true mettle of your child is tested. Little Seth is assaulted with so much consequence-free fun and abandon that he is eventually driven to demand that it stop within a tear-stained conniption fit. The next time you are in one of the parks and happen upon one of these scenes, don't pass it by impatiently. Stand quietly at a distance and witness the opera, the levels of naked despair we reach almost never in our lifetimes, save for the death of a parent or the loss of true love. Watch that child's whole life unfold before your eyes, and pity him. He will beg to return here one day, spend thousands of dollars and dream of it while stuck in a dead-end job. And yet, now, the child is here, and it's a hellish prison he can't escape.
That, or he's faking it for attention. That's also possible. That, also, paints a picture.
Does Disneyland also explore the nature of your relationship to your child? Little Kammy wants to dress like Belle today. If you fail to meet these needs, she will sob so angrily you imagine she'd vomit if her throat weren't so constrained. Allow her to dress like Belle, and something else is bound to displease her. When this eventuality comes to pass, you'll impotently try to make her smile. But she won't smile. Smiling to Little Kammy means conceding power to you. If she gives in now, she knows this exposure of weakness will cost in her some other battle in the near future. So she stands her ground, and you won't get her to smile, not even if you buy all the pirate booty in New Orleans Square.
To a headstrong girl, a frightened boy's agony is a chocolate shake.
Woe to the young man who finds himself not tall enough to ride Space Mountain! He must have been measuring himself for months leading up to this day. He'd been telling everyone at school about how this was the year he's let inside the treasured Tall Man's Secret World. His boasts inspired jealousy from some and shoulder claps from the others. But on that day, alas, he discovers he was wrong. There must have been some miscalculation! Some parent-teacher-theme park ride operator conspiracy! This will not stand! He's ruined. His friends will never believe anything he says from now on. That is, if he can still count them as friends after this disgrace and public shaming.
However, the pendulum swings both ways! Suppose he manages to squeak by the height requirements within a fraction of Jiminy Cricket's dandy hat?
Je regrette!
He is inconsolable, but as a parent, what do you do? Abandon the day's plans? No, that will teach him that quitting is at the heart of life. Also, ticket prices have gone up again, and you paid $90 per soul! Stay, helpless mother, and weather the storm. You're over a barrel as it is. Leaving now will just invite your problem home with you.
Don't forget the plight of the plain girl! That poor Future Best Friend who isn't wearing a Disney Princess gown, either out of cost, hard-nosed parents or it simply did not occur to her to lipstick-n-corset up for her day out. She entered the park with a sense of promise; she had a glow of anticipation. Had. Within minutes, she notices the other girl, almost her height, wearing Cinderella blue. On any other day, she could be her exact double, save for that blonde hair and blue eyes. Damn her!
Your innocent daughter, once so capable of happiness and self-assurance, will now spend the day coveting. Perhaps, she thinks, she could persuade her way into the Bippiti Boppiti Boutique? Useless! Those reservations are booked months in advance, and of course her mother didn't think to make them in time, that stupid cow! Decades later, after a fraught reconciliation, mother and daughter will look to this day as the moment the ribbon between them began to unravel.
Even if she were able to achieve Princessification, she would find it a hollow victory. Unless you wear a Princess dress on the inside, the gown will never fit right. There's a fairy tale ending for you.
Finally, what of pure, unadulterated, shrieking fright?
I respect that one. Being advanced upon from behind by a man without a face is the source of nightmares, and he still found it in himself, even while being consumed by a vortex of fear, to low-five his attacker. For the rest of his life, he will know bravery.
Why do we subject our younguns to this very expensive torment? So that one day, they'll return to the field of battle as adults and reclaim their dignity through silly hats and a Tigger embrace.
The Circle of Life.

Collaboration isn't the buzzword of the week. It's the NEW workplace and business model, because effective collaboration is intrinsic to how well an organization (big or small) will perform over time, and that includes internal collaboration across functional teams, departments or business units, as well as, external collaboration with potential partners, contractors, suppliers, customers, and even at times, with competitors (referred to as co-petition).
Collaboration is often viewed as "a nice to have" by businesses and entrepreneurs. But make no mistake: collaboration bring unbelievable competitive advantage to your business. Businesses and individuals that have learned to work collaboratively have seen startling results. They have greater agility, make better decisions and are way more productive.
Collaboration is simple to understand and should be second nature to all of us. It means we do something better, often bigger, when we do it together, and we're likely to accomplish something that neither party could accomplish on its own. Yet it is difficult to attain.
We are surrounded by potential partners in our every day lives: colleagues, neighbors, friends, fellow volunteers. But powerful partnerships – the kind in which you and a collaborator regularly work together, reach goals together you never could have accomplished apart, and gain the deep satisfaction only such an alliance can bring are elusive.
We are crowded in offices, airports, subways – frequently within arm's reach of dozens of people – but often on a very lonely pursuit. Wired? Yes, Networked Yes, Collaborating? Not much.
Why Collaborate? Humans are made for collaboration:
On a personal level:
- Our blood pressure rises and falls depending on who is nearby.
- The amount we eat depends a lot on the amount eaten by those with whom we dine.
- We laugh not so much because it is funny but because laughter is a kind of a social glue – a person is 30 times more likely to laugh when he's with somebody than when he is alone.
- We are designed for dialogue rather than monologue.
- Isolation is bad for us – it poses dangers as serious as cigarette smoking, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, obesity, or lack of exercise.
On a business Level
- In the workplace, employees with collaborative relationships are 42 more likely to stay with their current employer compared to those with no partnerships.
- Those who feel well-teamed are substantially more engaged at work (or in their business) – generating higher customer scores and better safety, retention, creativity, productivity and profitability – and experience a greater level of happiness.
- Effective Collaboration in intrinsic to how well an organization (big or small) will perform over time.
- Collaboration brings unbelievable competitive advantage to the business by encouraging the exchange of ideas and by promoting interaction.
Internal Collaboration and Social Networking – Facebook-Like World Migrating to Business
Workplace collaboration is starting to look like consumer social networks such as Facebook, with business colleagues going online to share ideas, content and more. Not surprisingly, many of the early adopters and providers of internal collaborative "social media like" tools and software have been IT Companies: Google, Cisco, Salesforce, IBM, and Microsoft just to name a few.
Companies are introducing new social networking initiatives as they attempt to contain employee turnover, improve internal communication, boost innovation, promote teamwork and gain a competitive edge.
A great example of that is Dell. To promote employee interaction and create a sense of corporate identity, Dell has an online employee community on Facebook. While this helps the employees connect outside the office space, the company is also in the process of creating a similar platform for internal use by the employees. According to a Dell employee: their primary aim for using social computing in the workplace is to increase the level of engagement with all of their employees regardless of where they sit in the organization and thus create a better work environment for them.
Organizations big and small are realizing that by connecting people they are improving customer service, cultivating expertise, fostering a caring work environment, improving information access, accelerating innovation and driving a competitive edge
Web 1.0 was about giving us access to content and we quickly learnt how to use search engine to find the content we were looking for, and if we wanted to keep up to date with some specific site/page then we set up an RSS feed. Web 2.0 is all about giving us access to people and engaging with one another.
It's all boils down to the fact that at the end of the day, social media and collaboration (internal or external) to an organization isn't about the tools… it's about people!

It's no secret that Michiganders get their fair share of snow. Whether you're on Jefferson in Downtown Detroit or on Woodward in Bloomfield Hills, you're going to encounter accumulating snow several times a year. Even though snow is not a surprise, as the snow piles up, prospective snow shovelers all around southeast Michigan let out a collective groan.
Shoveling can be excellent exercise, but it can also brings with it aches and pains in the hours and days that follow. Eldon Faulkner, a lifelong Michigan resident, said, "[Shoveling] kills your lower back and shoulders, but you really don't feel it until the next day."
Eldon isn't alone in his post-shoveling plight! Luckily, going forward he can use some of these self-care massage tips to alleviate some of the pain:
- Before snow shoveling, try warming up! Doing some light walking in place and very gentle stretching prior to picking up the shovel can help ward off pain later.
- During snow shoveling, lift heavy snow using your knees (like a reverse squat exercise) instead of your shoulders and back (see video). Take frequent breaks to avoid strain.
- After shoveling, try cooling down as you warm up! Once you have come inside, give your muscles a stretch once again. Jason Castleman, a Royal Oak-based massage therapist, noted, "Make sure afterward not to go back inside, straight to the couch. Stretch the areas you used like your legs, low back, and arms."
- Once you have stretched and rested, you can address areas like sore hands from gripping the shovel by using your right hand to grasp and rub at the base of the thumb, down each finger, and at the wrist. (For a video, click here.)
- If you have sore feet, you can try soaking your feet in warm water or rolling them within your tolerance over reflexology foot massage balls.
- Lastly, for a sore back, neck or shoulders, you can take a warm shower and allow the water to run over the sore areas. You can also apply moist heat with a microwavable heat pack to soothe sore areas of the back or neck.
If you practice these tips and still feel a general achiness, make sure to find a qualified, local massage therapy practitioner who can concentrate on those areas that bring you pain. Always make sure to tell your massage therapist that you have been shoveling snow, which will help him or her to devise an appropriate plan for your massage.
Please note: If you shovel snow and are in severe pain, feel tightness in your chest, or just "don't feel right," go to the doctor immediately. These tips never replace a doctor's medical advice or care.

It's Friday night!! Thank God right? Many of us will be heading out to dinner and going out to clubs or parties with our friends and loved ones and many of us will drive. Let's face it this is Los Angeles and as much as Metro would like for us to believe taking public transportation isn't a smart and in some cases not even a safe way to travel. It's downright inconvenient and a complete hassle.
Furthermore the thought of calling a cab strikes fear in most of us. Most times cabs are not on time, not clean and the drivers more times than not are not friendly. Don't you hate when you try to pay with your credit card and the driver has some excuse as to why they can't, more like won't take your credit card? "Cash only please. I'll take you to the ATM" while they drive extra slow taking the longest route possible to run up the cost of the ride.
Why can't things be simple? Why can't your driver be friendly and have a clean car? Why the hell can't you pay with a credit card when it is plastered all over the cab? How come we can't know who our driver will be before we leave home? Why can't we get a FREE ride?
I'm sure you've been seeing these cars driving around with this bright pink mustache on the hood and wondered who that was and what was this all about. Well friends, that car with the pink mustache on the front is your answer to all the questions you've ever asked of a cab driver. It's far better than taking the bus and way more fun than taking a smelly overpriced cab. The service is called Lyft and they are "your friend with a car"
Lyft is based in San Francisco California and operates is several cites throughout the Unites States. You must have a smart phone to use the service and absolutely no currency is exchanged. You can sign up for free through the Lyft website using your social media network to sign in. Just like social media you create a profile with a picture and a billing option. When you need a ride, just open the app and request one. Not only will you get an approximate time of arrival, but a picture of your driver and the car they will be arriving in. There are several bonuses when getting a ride with Lyft the first is that your first right is FREE. That's right, your first ride is FREE.Now how cool is that? But that's not all you also get to sit up front, just like you do in your friends car AND you can rate the driver as well as leave a comment. But wait there's more!! Lyft even has Happy Hour rates.
Lyft is fast, friendly and cheaper than taking a cab, it's also much cleaner and the drivers are way cool. So instead of taking the bus or train and have to worry about leaving before the fun starts because the trains dont run all night or showing up very late. Before you do the really silly things of drinking and driving and before you simply sit home and do nothing check out Lyft. Your first ride is FREE

When a Drag Queen Is Born Boaz Starks book offers 700 ideas about what to name her. (Apocalypstic, anyone?)
October 3, 2008
J. W. Arnold
A stroll down the aisles at Barnes & Noble or Borders soon reveals that baby-naming books are a booming industry. But what if youre not giving birth to a little Britney or Justin? What if youre giving birth to a bouncing baby drag queen? Where can you turn for that perfect name?
Australian author Boaz Stark found himself wondering the same thing and wound up writing his own wacky contribution to the genre: The Drag Queen Baby Name Book. With more than 700 namesall alphabetized and categorized this is the ultimate reference book for the budding drag queen.
Thanks to the wonders of the Internet, Camp caught up with the clever Aussie writer to discuss the book and his adventures along the way:
JW Arnold: What was your inspiration to write the book?
Boaz Stark: My inspiration was simply a love of puns. A friend and I used to get together and dream up drag names for the fun of it. At some point I decided to start recording them, and when I had a couple of hundred in my collection, I realized I could do something with them. A baby name book for drag queens seemed to be the most logical place for them.
JWA: How much research was involved, or did you just think all these crazy names up yourself?
BS: I wish I had the creativity to come up with over 700 drag names on my own (from Ada Refugee to Zsa Zsa LaHore!) but I have to admit I had help. My friend and I continued to think up names together. It was a topic of conversation at pretty much every gay (and family) dinner party I attended. Its funny when your 12-year-old niece is texting you with drag name suggestions. Other friends got into the habit of e-mailing me with names, and every time I saw a drag queen out on the town Id accost her and ask her to identify herself. I did some Web surfing to see what was out there. And my partner and I never ran out of things to talk about wed just pick a girls name at random and spend hours seeing if it worked as a drag name.
JWA: Just as there are fads in baby names, have you noticed any trends in drag queen names?
BS: For sure! Drag names used to be all about glamour, like Danny LaRue, but a more modern approach to drag is to have a pun-based name, like Hedda Lettuce. Another very modern approach is to have a one-word drag name that is a hybrid of the two approaches, like Lypsinka or Apocalypstic. But its really all about personal taste. Anything goes, darling!
JWA: Have you ever done drag yourself?
BS: Yes, a few times, but I dont find it the liberating experience so many drag queens describe it as. Once I get used to the heels and the tight-fitting wig, I just feel like me again and dont really understand why Im getting so much attention!
JWA: Whats your favorite name in the book?
BS: Thats like asking me to choose my favorite child! It honestly changes all the time. Today, Ill say my favorite is Mimi Mee but generally I have a soft spot for drag names that somehow reference the art of drag itself, like Candice B. Real, Donna Frock, Donna Wigg, Faye King, Iris Ikle-Wiggs, May B. Knott...
JWA: You lay out a wide range of names from vanilla to outrageous. Were there any names that were just too racy to print?
BS: Too racy? Never! Some of my favorite drag names could be considered offensive in some circles: Nora Cock, Cath Lick, Justine Ormous. But I did reject names that could be hurtful to some people, like Sarah Belle Palsey. I dont see the humor in names that make fun of people with an unfortunate affliction.
JWA: Most drag queens are high maintenance divas. What happens if they consult your book and run into another girl with the same name?
BS: That actually happened! Here in Sydney, we have a fabulous drag queen called Sheila Blige, who ran into another drag who gave herself the same name. Lets just say the fur flew and it wasnt pretty. The imposter Sheila was sent packing and now goes by the name Donna Wigg.
What is your next project?
I have to admit Im addicted to drag photo shoots theyre hilarious! So my next project is a Drag Queen Calendar. Im currently choosing the best 12 names to bring to life. I can already envisage Eve Zdropper in a cheap motel room with her ear pressed up against a wall, titillated by what shes hearing. Cant wait!

We've got a weakness for bad boys, and for silly puns, so you can imagine how crazy we are for these Mug Shots ($16). These six shot glasses are decorated with the faces and rap sheets of some of history's most notorious criminals, from John Dillinger to Al Capone. They even include a tiny rap sheet, so you can see just how naughty your drinking buddy really was. If only our ex-boyfriends had been so forthcoming with their faults.
