On the strength of the demo, Livingston invited McLean to Los Angeles, and even paid for his flight and accommodation.

Paint your palette blue and gray
Look out on a summer's day
With eyes that know the darkness in my soul"

So bye, bye Miss American Fly,
Thought my swatter woulda got ya,
But your compound eye
Saw me take a swing, and so you flew up too high,
Buzzing, "This won't be the day that I die.
"This won't be the day that I die!"

So buy, buy my American Pie! #DonMcLean
I'm heading out to see Don McLean with my mum tonight. As I was getting ready, I looked in the mirror, and it just kinda struck me that this is what I look like now. I figure I should be used to it by now, but still, the mirror surprises me sometimes.
Does visibility to ones self count as trans visibility?
The photo is a selfie of me in a red dress, and is perfectly safe for work. I have just masked it as NSFW as a form of content warning.

Hey people of Mastodon. When I was 18 I made a cover to Don McLean's Vincent. I made the video private years ago because I was a teenager and thought I looked ugly. I do not look ugly haha I know it now but it doesn't matter, it's an emotional cover that I was happy to make. Hope you like it would love to hear your thoughts.
