the Queen of trees

[cyan_blue]

Emmett celebrates Xmas, and he really wanted a tree, so I made him a present of a live one in a pot and some decorations. Yesterday, we did the decorating. Miss Tree is looking more and more splendidly drag-queenish by the hour... purple lights, copper baubles, a gold-wire heart for her crown, and then - sticking up from the heart - a large plumy magenta feather that fell off one of Preia's toys. She looks about ready to sashay onstage and start fencing jibes in a husky voice with Harvey Fierstein and singing "I will survive"! So we named her Lateesha, which Emmett says is a drag queen name from one of Terry Pratchett's books. Fun! We get to keep her too, since she's just a little 3' tall lady and comes in a pot. Probably we should get her a nicer pot - something with *flair*.
