The Tranny

This is kind of an open love letter to somone that came into my life about 3 years ago so Ladies and Gentlemen Id like you to meet my dear friend Mississippi's own Mr. Joshua Conerly aka Miss Mia Chambers

Its not often that you meet someone and have an instant connection with but that is exactly what happened with Josh.When my Ma got sick and we decided it was time for her to go home to Mississippi my first thought was "FUCK" now I have to go there.I was kind of mortified at the thought of having to spend any time there at all.I fought it my whole life and at the time I felt like I had nothing at all in common with anyone in my family after all I lived in Hollywood and my Mawmaw and Pawpaw had a dirt driveway for God's sake.Anyway it turns out Im an idiot and I happen to have an amazing family that I love dearly but all that is for another story.

Now back to Josh.When I relized we were really going I started stalking Billy's Myspace because he had alot of "friends" from Mississippi on his page.One day Josh asked me to be his friend on my Hair page I think mostly because he found out I worked with Mariah Carey for a long time and Josh LIVES for Mariah.We chatted back and forth for couple of months and when I got here I called and asked him to take me out.Now the only place I knew in town was Borders book store so we met in the parking lot.We had the exact same red  Grand Am (only my is the very fancy Mary Kay Edition I got from Aunt Gert) and it was love at first site.He took me to Dick and Jane's but I had no idea it was to see a drag show and knew nothing of "Mia" yet.This was the night we found out we didn't even have to speak to understand each other.A kind of Tranny Telepathy if you will.He took me up to the dressing room to meet the girls.We walked in I stopped in my tracks at the beauty before me looked at Josh,he took this picture and our friendship was sealed.

Since then we've become very close.Josh is like my kid brother/sister depending on the day.The thing I find funny is when people mention our age difference to me.Were both grown end of story.Listen I have a handful of friends that I love and would do anything for but it's different with Josh.He reminds me so much of myself my drag was just different.

Like me Josh has an amazing Mother and brother that completely support him.Like mine his parents split when he was a kid and his Father and I have very similar past including a life of drug addition but unlike alot of people raised surrounded by that kind of lifestyle instead of thinking it was cool or blaming everything  wrong with their lives on that he ran from it.He's honest,responsible and independent to a fault.Everything I wasn't at his age.The one thing I struggle with in our friendship is his wish to transition to a woman.It scares me and I won't pretend to understand what that must feel like.I do know sometimes he feels so lonely my heart breaks for him and whatever his choice is I will stand behind him 100 percent.Anyway I felt compelled to write about my girl here to let her know how much I love her and that your never alone while Im around.

Besides in a few years you'll be feeding me and changing my diaper's so have fun while you still can.

P.S. Anyone that is offended because I refer to Josh as The Tranny we both say to you
