This is my cue to fess up I suppose, Kabuki.

The truth, dear readers is the gentleman who operates (covertly) under the assumed identity of Kabuki Zero, is one of my oldest, dearest friends. My very first friend when I came out, as a matter of fact. We met a short few months after this photo was taken. We were so similar in appearance that our circle of peeps nicknamed us Patty and Cathy (identical cousins, you know).

Soon after meeting, we entered into "the battle of the wedge" to see who could produce the biggest, the best, the most stacked wedge haircut. It is with shame that I report, I was not the victor.

His hair was so grand and so glorious and so, well, wedged, that when he spun on the dance floor it would take his hair about ten minutes to catch up!

So, dear KZ, I humbly bow to the 'fiercest wedge wearer of them all'.

Did a hotdog make you lose control?
