I have become grateful for the "Hurry up and Wait" nature of my present position in that it allows me ample time to think... and to occaisonally chronicle those thoughts.
One thing I find myself doing is thinking up names for stuff. Like, what would be a good name for a band. I've come up with a lot of names which I feel would be great for a musical group - "Army of Bums," "Delusions of Adequacy," "Pus Fountain," "Something to Cry About," etc..
Recently, I've become fascinated with naming exotic dancers. I think I have a real knack for it. Among my best are; "Desire," "Mirage," "Saphire," "Sally," "Lady Temptation" and "Nasty Venus." But my all-time best - or at least what I thought was my all-time best - was "Charisma." Now that's a name a gal can take to the brass pole proudly...
...or so I thought until today.
You see, a client has asked me to match a color called "Merlot." I see a lot of crazy, or just plain stupid color names come across my desk, but "Merlot" took my breath away... how could anyone have ever stripped down to their g-string without that name? It's so perfect. I'm begining to think all dancers should be named "Merlot." Am I crazy?
