Slo-mo in San Diego.

We had also had Bush guy down at the pier, in San Francisco, but he died a few years back.

Come to think of it, I haven't seen Slo-Mo in a while either. :/

I had a dude who would dress up like Britney Spears, and he went by "Britney Girl-Dale". I never interacted with him, but I had friends who did who said he was HELLA nice, but always high. Which lead me to defending him anytime my judgemental parents had anything nasty to say.

Unfortunately, last I heard he had "found Jesus" and went massively fundie/evangelical. ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

Tricycle Santa!

Frankie! He'd stand on the street and clap at cars. He'd draw money and try to use it, too. Some places accepted the smaller bills because he was actually pretty good at it.

Did they accept them out of respect for his artistic skill, or were they genuinely fooled?

Yeah we had one like that , some kind of weird creepy drugged out "thing" , crazy looking person , sometimes half naked , sometimes looking like a bum , sometimes like a drag queen.

then i stopped seing him and after a while all of a sudden i see him on television all the time , transformed , it's David jeanmotte.

He's now well known in the country .

Guess he sucked off Elio Di Rupo , our gay prime minister at the time, who was living in the same neighborhood as us and who was easily approachable.
