Prescription for No-Parade Blues
We are all distraught that here it is MARCH—PARADE TIME—AGAIN—and the wretched PLAGUE has cancelled us once more. Our Queenly Partners at the CIRLOT AGENCY have made it possible for us to at least SEE OURSELVES in Our Glory today—when we SHOULD all be in the streets of Downtown Jackson for HAL’S ST PADDY’S PARADE—but we are NOT. We are pouting Big Time but we think this video will perk us up considerably. Watch video

I give a 25 – 45 minute, highly motivating, hopefully hilarious, totally G-rated account of How I Came to Be THE Sweet Potato Queen and My Resulting Contributions to World Peace (in spite of the fact that all I ever wanted in life was to be a 5’2″, red-headed, large-breasted, tiny-footed singer and never got ANY of it). Afterwards, I answer questions – and since I know pretty much everything (except for Algebra) – this is most helpful to the audience.
