This episode of Closetspace is supposed to be a fun episode, with some cheap laughs and fun stuff to cleanse the palette and get ready for the next whack upside your head. So what do I do? I begin with it a pissed off Carrie. Well, for recent CS, this is pretty upbeat. Wow, remember when this series was upbeat and fun? Anyways, Beatrice wasn’t originally meant to be a recurring character, but ever since she told Carrie “It’s okay, I’ll keep your secret” and then tried to explain things to the folks at Milly’s funeral, she’s bubbled up in my head as a version of a friend of mine. Nearly every MTF transsexual has a friend like this - the one woman who is just totally fascinated by your decision to be a woman in a non-creepy way. Most of us have friends that joke “You’d never want to be a woman if you had a period.” However THIS friend is the one who actually goes out of her way to explain where it’s cramping, and what it feels like, not to complain, but to try and get you to “know” what that’s like. At the same time, this is the friend patient enough to show you how to do your make up or teach you how to dress. Heck my “friend like that” talked to me about hrt nether regions is a totally educational fashion that would make most people blush, throw up, or swear off women all together. And frankly, she’s a great friend, who I don’t talk to enough.
I doubt Beatrice will get that explicit, but she’ll be very curious and helpful, even if her husband tried to beat the tar out of Carrie.
Sorry about the AWFW repeats. This is pretty much all I had planned for this episode, but I’d hoped for more than just showing 4 repeated panels and 2 recycled ones. The new schedule is kicking my ass, and AWFW (the not-so-popular one) is paying for it. ![]()
