aw and a fu: some great news

[Deleted]

Remember a while back I told you I had a cousin who's in his early 20s and into drag? Then my uncle found his tumblr page and shit hit the fan? His parents fliped out once they found out, demanded that he transfer from yale to uw his senior year. Then, the asked if he was stripping too. Haha. Anyway, the whole thing is getting swept under the rug and being ignored, asian style.

Here's the great news, he's been getting paying gigs (not the reason he's doing it), but one of his role model queens just contacted him and asked him to participate in a pagent in nyc! He's so nervous and excited bc he's competing against queens that he's looked up to.

H and I are supposed to be in europe around the time that he's going to be competing, but I'm trying to change some things around so that we can stop in nyc for one night to see him.

I don't think I should put it out there for all to see, but I'll email you his tumblr page. And I swear I'm not biased (ok maybe a little) but he looks fab.

Oh and I think this goes without saying, but if I've sent you the link please don't share. The interwebz is a crazy place and I don't want to make his life miserable, but I just have to AW my adorbs cousin.

That's so awesome! I wasn't around for your original post, and I'm sad for him that his parents weren't understanding. But I'm so happy for him about the pageant in NYC! I'd like to see the tumblr page too, if that's okay.

Did he really transfer?!

lol no.

He's paying for school 100% through grants and scholarships, so transferring back to uw would actually cost him money.

He's staying at Yale to finish out his senior year there.

Oh thank GOD! Because, there's nothing wrong with UW, but Yale is still more prestigious. Plus...paying all through grants and scholarships?! TO YALE?! DAAAAMN!!

(and I wannnnna seeeee)

IK, YGPM.

Yeah, not that UW is a bad school, but I would never "demand" someone to leave Yale for UW. That's crazy talk. He's super smart and doing really well in school. I can't remember for sure, but I'm pretty sure that if his grades stay the way they are now he's going to graduate with honors.
