The Bearded Lady's Blind Date

Well, uh, I work...

...in the entertainment industry

The, uh, well, um, performing arts
The, uh, more...avante garde, I guess you could say
Section of the...theatrical...arena...um...

And clowns
I work with clowns

You really can't see me?
Like at all?
Like woo hoo, over here!  You can't see me?

Sorry, I'm not trying to be offensive
This is just...difficult because, uh, I...

I don't usually have to describe myself to...

It's usually sort of evident
And then people either
Take it or leave it
Mostly, leave it

So I'm just a little--

Uh, it's been awhile
Since I've gotten this far into a date
So my conversation skills
Probably aren't what they...um, not used to be, but...could be, I guess...

So, well, the thing is--

I work for the circus
Specifically the alternative element
So, the, uh--freakshow

I'm the, uh, a...well...

I have a beard

I'm the bearded lady

It's not a big beard

Just enough to be...you know...what it is

And to keep my job

Because it's not like I can't shave

But to be honest, the money's incredible

And some sort of see it as a skill

That I can make myself look like a member of ZZ Top

If I want to

It's a pretty soft beard

I'd let you touch it

But I just washed it

And I have this whole germ thing

Which we can talk more about on the second date

Hahaha yeah, as if that's happening

I mean, it's just a career, you know?

But I understand that it's rough

For someone to be with the, uh...

...With me

So if you want to walk

You can walk

I'm used to picking up the check

Just leave the tip

And I'll...

Oh

Well...

Yes

I'd be happy to tell you more

About myself

Gosh, let's see

What else is there?
