Chat, we had so much fun with Liz LaPoint from GenXcellent today! It totally smelled like teen spirit up in the joint, full on Marsha! Marsha! Marsha! meets the Tarantula Tiki God episode times infinity +1. What am I saying?
GenXy meets GenXcellent was a kick in the pants! A house on fire! By the end of the hour we all agreed that there wasn’t enough time, and that we could have kept going, well, forever. Because one thing we’ve learned, if you get two or more GenXers talking about being GenX? There’s nothing that can shut us the fuck up. NOTHING.
It was great to learn Liz’s backstory in psychology, and how that led her to creating GenXellent. We talked about GenX stuff, and then dug into one of her stories
Which includes my fave pic of all time:
(The freaky thing is, the hair makes it so you think you actually remember all those girls!)
We learned about Liz’s awesome dude, Mondopopsickle and their parenting style, and generally had a blast. Dana and Liz are working on a scholarly study, “The Prevalence of GenX Women Choosing Men Exactly The Opposite Of Their Dads For Partners Is One Hundred Percent.”
We laughed, we cried; this chat became a part of us. It was much better than Cats! We want to do it again and again.
Seriously, tho, Liz, you are fantastic, and you are welcome back to speak with us here at genXy anytime!
