• Farmers markets that make you believe in love again and also give you diabetes because every corner has Willy Wonka–level candy stores.
• Glitter stores (plural!!) I was lured in by a pink hat and walked out with 12 bags of Barbie clothes.
• And somehow…the hottest lesbians on the planet. Ladies, this is a coastal city, not a calendar shoot.
In LA they told me, “You should butch it up.”
San Diego said, “You do you, boo. We love Glitter Barbie.”
San Diego didn’t just support it, San Diego invented the term lipstick lesbian.
So when they said, “You do you, boo. We love Glitter Barbie,”
I said, “Perfect, because I’m the pink lip gloss edition.”
Because we can all look like Barbie,
just with very different backstories and coping mechanisms. 💄✨
