Can you tell I copied this from a press release? I'm copying just a little more, because the currently-reigning queen and soon-to-be-outgoing queen, Patrizzi Intergarlactica, has this advice for you:
1. Channel the Tim Burton, Monty Python, Karl and Groucho Marx spirit world.
2. Open your heart.
3. Say yes.
4. Leave your favorite sunglasses in a safe place when cavorting.
5. Know that your inner azimuth will become dented and bewobble from here on out.
*could be a bargain, depending on the size of your entourage.
