Christmas is coming and I want to give unique presents this time around. Maybe you guys can post some neat stuff that is relatively affordable to give each other ideas this year. But don't hesitate to post expensive stuff either as long as it is interesting. Let it be books, gadgets, software or whatever. Just be unique, interesting and cool.
Here's
Ingmar Bergman
and
Stanley Kubrick

Hi Mr Brazil, are you a beautiful lady?
If so, how come you are called Mr Brazil, not Mrs Brazil?
In addition, are you from Brazil?
Have a nice day!

I was born female but consider myself genderqueer. Am I beautiful? I think so. Even more important, my girlfriend thinks so.
The name Mr Brazil comes from a character my late brother made up when we were teenagers. I can elaborate on that if you're interested, but it's boring. Now Mr Brazil is sort of my alter ego when I dress drag.
No, I'm not from Brazil. I live in America. I'm American.
My questions for you: Who are you a dupe of? How long were you around before you came up with Tractern? Is this new account an expression of another side of your personality or are you just having a laugh?

Ah right, nice to get to know stuff about XL-ers. :)
If that's you in your avy, you're quite nice looking! Plus it's a cool avy, what with the squiggles.
I ain't no dupe! :( Tractern is a name I made up for myself in secondary school, when I was in Graphics class. I just put my name on my work as Tractern Glovingtown. My friend thought it was funny at the time, but it's not a very funny story if you don't know my real name. It is quite similar to my real name, actually.
Unfortunately for me, this is my true identity. But this is the first forum I have joined and regularly contributed to, which may explain my reactions to the things some people say.
Yeah, elaborate on the Mr Brazil name.

Oh my no, that's the beautiful Renée Jeanne Falconetti from the movie The Passion of Joan of Arc. One of my favorite movies.
I don't know if you have something called Columbia House in your country. If you don't, it's like a mail order thing for CDs and movies or whatever. What you do is buy a few items at an inflated price then you can get a few more at a discounted price. It's really just a big scam I think. But anyway, my brother would order stuff from them under the name George Brazil so he wouldn't have to pay. I thought that was real funny. We would make up scenarios for Mr. Brazil to be apart of involving international intrigue and other stuff. He would be responsible for the great mysteries of the world or whatever. After my brother died I kind of remembered this stupid thing we came up with and kind of clung to it since we really didn't share much else. When I started to drag, I used Mr. (George) Brazil as my pseudonym.
So that's that.

I'm average intelligence at best, but thanks for thinking there's more. I don't have much time to read nowadays. The last thing I read was Tipping the Velvet, but this was ages ago.
If you're reading the bible, try reading Robert Crumb's illustrated Book of Genesis.
I like photo books like this also.
Sorry I can't help with real literature. But there you go!
