An idea whose time has come: 'Secretly a Man Day'

The fabulous and talented Charlie Anders, who runs Other Magazine and the Writers with Drinks reading series in SF, has a hilarious and deeply weird M.C. style. She introduces each writer with a spiel of information, some of which is true and some totally made up, and only some of which actually has anything to do with the person she's introducing.

Last weekend she reportedly introduced -- off the top of her head, I'll wager -- a new annual holiday: Nov. 20, Secretly a Man Day. On that day you're supposed to start rumors to the effect of "Hey, did you hear Jessica Simpson is secretly a man?" or "I heard that Condoleeza Rice is secretly a man!"

And the blog author whom Wonkette outed today? Secretly a man!

Charlie is so brilliant.

Secretly A Man Day, Charlie Anders
