If I was a superhero, I'd be BS Woman: the incredible
bullshitter. My magic power would be sprinkling more pleasant alternatives to
harsh realities around like fairy dust. My motto would be "look on the
bright side!"
Unfortunately, I can’t promise BS Woman would effectively make
the world a better place with sparkly BS; just a more palatable place. I'd use
my magical dust to ward off evils such as uncomfortable realities, volatile
emotional responses and unpredictable tragedies. The dust would magically
transform the aforementioned into valuable life lessons, perspective and wisdom
– all far easier to swallow than a general lack of control and "shit
happens" explanations.
I think my costume might be a one
piece suit with a butt flap, because I'm always cold but I also always have to
pee so I would need a flap for convenience. Over my jumpsuit, I would throw
something feminine and pretty but playful. Or I would go for something slightly
ridiculous like a tutu. On my feet I would wear flats of course, but they would
be unnecessarily expensive and impossibly cute to make me feel better about my back
doctors issuing a permanent moratorium on sexy heels. I would keep my hair in a
braid for sure; I don't take much time to style my hair now; I can't imagine
how rushed I would be as a superhero.
My secret weapon would be a custom
made set of cognac leather blinders- yes-like the ones horses wear. I would
wear them as a headband for easy access. They would be crucial for times when
life throws crap at you so fast that there's no time to "look on the
bright side."
My bat mobile would be a smart car.
Obviously. It would be red. And a convertible. With a special, extra loud and
very goofy horn that I would honk all over the place just to make myself laugh.
My
sidekick would be B, because his complimentary powers as Reality man would be
invaluable. His secret weapons definitely qualify him as the Batman to my Catwoman.
My favorite power of his is the smile that lights any dark space. My second
favorite would have to be the hug that makes the world stop spinning. Oh and he
has an incredibly loud, commanding voice. When shit starts flying and the blinders
fail, he’d be the only one who can restore order and hope to a tainted world.
