Essay Collection -- Casa Lesbo -- Tide

 

Well, Skipper's hormones have returned to equilibrium, and once again Casa Lesbo has returned to its normal state of bliss.

Saturday Skipper/Hoppy/Spanky and I got to talking about her artificial leg. Guess what I found out--Artificial legs are held on with suction!! All those hydraulic whooshing sounds that Hoppy emits when she walks are due to the automatic pump being activated in her leg.

Well, you know, curiosity got the best of me and I just HAD to look inside one of Hoppy’s legs! I wanted to see what was in there—I became obsessed! Hoppy has several legs—kind of like an accessory for every season. She has the tan ones for Summer, the pale ones for Winter, the Industrial Strength model for “excessive physical exertion”…she even has one with a built-in motor for bicycling! The list goes on and on. Normal fashion rules do not apply to leg wearing. In fact, they’re the exact opposite. ALWAYS wear white before Memorial Day, and NEVER after Labor Day.

So, while Hoppy was napping sans leg, I snuck into the leg corral to have a snoop. Hoppy goes to the fake-n-bake, so I opted to peer into the Summer tan model, figuring that it would be the most recently worn. What to my wondering eyes did I see? The whole top part is hollow, and Hoppy uses it like a purse! Uh huh! She had money, lipstick, and TAMPONS all shoved inside that thang! Isn't that just too fabulous! She never has to worry about whether or not her clutch is coordinated with her outfit...she just throws everything in her leg! Then when she needs access to one of her treasures, a simple touch of the button releases the suction and drops her leg off! Viola!

I can hardly wait 'til she gets her "aqua leg", you know, the one with the built-in flipper in the foot, to see if it has a goldfish compartment inside! Wouldn't that be just too cool?! I wonder how I can get one of those leg compartments, without of course having to have my leg blown off by a landmine. Hmmmm. Think of all the potential uses. You could have a mini-fridge in there, keep your snatch, oops I mean SNACKS cold. Hook up a blender and serve daquiris. Maybe even a little microwave oven for hot appetizers. The possibilities are endless!

I'm on a quest now. Stay tuned for more exciting updates from Casa Lesbo as they develop.
