My Head is So Heavy Because it’s Full of Dreams!
My wonderful, outrageous dame of an aunt, who has been on the great stage of the beyond for 10 years now, used to do an hysterical impression of the Elephant Man when she was drunk. She captivated cocktail crowds the world over with this act, and just thinking about it cracks me up. She’d prepare herself like the frustrated Method actor she was by snorting and bowing her head, and then she’d drape her arm in front of her nose (even though the Elephant Man was not really an elephant), and stammer out the famous line – “My head is so heavy because it’s full of dreams…” This resulted in bursts of applause every time and gut-busting laughter. So every time I wear a headband, or think about heads at all really, I think of Aunt Ri. A head like hers deserved the finest ornamentation known to man. Don’t we all deserve a little bit of this cocktail glamour?
