The Snappy Miss Pippi Von Trapp

Despite the name, I'm male. And gay, in case you haven't figured that out from my often snappy answers. But I'm not a "practicing homosexual" -- I've pretty much got it down pat. And although my YA name is campy fun, I'm actually quite masculine. So, where did my YA name come from? Well, besides my need to maintain anonymity [I may be known to some people], "Pippi" is just campy as hell, and "Von Trapp" hints at my 25+ years working in theatre and film professionally. Wouldn't it have been wacky fun if Pippi Longstocking had been adopted and become one of those damned Von Trapp tots? The others would be good little Austrians warbling "Edelweiss" up in the Alps, while she'd be the tomboyish scamp who would, say, single-handedly sets fire to the Nazis and save the world! Yay Pippi!!!
