It hit me this morning. It hit me after I’d exfoliated and toned and moisturized with my Clinique for Men products and applied my eye cream and given my eyebrows one last check (mentally making a note to schedule an eyebrow wax for this weekend.) I think it hit me somewhere between slipping on my Italian blazer over my punk band t-shirt (casually chic) and hopping into my square-toed black Aldo shoes.
It hit me: I’m a yuppie. Or to be more precise, a guppie.
For those of you not familiar with the etymology of this term, “yuppie” comes from “young urban professional.” “Guppie” is a derivation of this, meaning “gay urban professional.”
I’m now officially high-maintenance. I’m not sure whether to be ecstatic or horrified.

Oh, Snaggle, you've always been a bit of a guppie... then again, I guess you haven't always been a professional. Well, at least in the business sense of the word-- we all know you're a professional in *other* ways. And I guess Ames wasn't all that urban. Or really at all. Young. Yes, you'fve always been young. Though I guess you're getting older. So nevermind. Maybe you've been a guppie wannabe for as long as I remember. But as long as you're ok your recent entry into guppie-dom, congrats on finally making it!

Someone who has admited to having sex with cats is horrified you wax your eyebrows. Could the world be a more interesting place?

Yuppies and guppies and buppies, oh my!

Don't forget Snaggle that you are also almost a GIMBO... a gay male bimbo... Although your status in Iowa under this category was high, Los Angles, you are probably on the low end of the scale...

Clearly HOrrifying.
The HIGH MAINTENANCE aspect, not the yuppie stuff.
You could easily call me a yuppie in regards to my salary, but I live cheap as hell, and get most enjoyment out of my kids and fiance(AND THE KIDS ARE EVEN IMAGINARY)!!!!!!

I'd like to see the Porcelain Doll post a comment here. I mean the real girl, not Lock posing as her.
