Nutter
In my family, when someone is acting crazier than usual, we call them a nutter. This is an affectionate term. It usually means someone has done something productive with their mania, like the time my mother made fifty five Xmas trees out of barbed wire and decorated our front yard with them. Note that there are only two houses on the road I grew up on, so there was no public shaming. The barbed wire Xmas trees are a fond family memory for me.
Last night I was sitting in the bathtub, minding my own business, thinking about how I had a box full of lipsticks I didn't want anymore. The thought of them started to bother me. I hated thinking about wasting anything as colorful and symbolically rich as lipstick.
I looked around, and immediately, I thought, "lipstick cakes on tile." Of course!
Now the issue is just getting them off. I think my chemically-rich pal Didi 7 will work just fine.
Most importantly, it's been over a year since I've been able to keep it up for any kind of sisyphean art craziness. I'm virile again with mania, thank god. This was good practice.
