“Running With Scissors” has an alter ego named
“Shuffling With Scissors, “ which came about at Area
6 Contest and Convention 2009. Instead of dressing
in 70’s garb for the 70’s theme weekend, we dressed
as…….well, 70 year old ladies. We had so much fun we
decided they would have to make the occasional
appearance. |
