WAIST HIGH: Attention Fresyes.

The only thing about tilefetish.com that I want to point out is that they refer to Bakersfield as "The New Fresno."

WAIST HIGH

A legend in her own mind. Was born in Pasadena, California and raised in Bakersfield, California. Currently makes her home in Portland, Oregon. Far far away from Bakersfield, California. The name Waist High is a take on "Waste High," the one-time nickname for West High School in Bakersfield California. The success of Waist High the blog can be credited not only to its founder's reputation for being one of the biggest losers to ever attend West High School, but to the fact that just immediately before Waist High the blog was created, Waist High the person was coincidentally told, "Wow, you are short. Not more than Waist High!" That, and the fact that a dearly departed female relative of hers could not work during her lifetime because she was "too short to work" apparently. Waist High and her "Cast of Characters" went into retirement in October 2006 after 32 months of unremitting blogging, with Waist High returning unaccompanied in May 2007 to blog solely about her one true love, new wave music.

CAST OF CHARACTERS

THE KERN COUNTY DRUNKARD Everything at Waist High is a "long story," and the story of The KCD is no exception. After this individual told Waist High in December of 2003 that she was going to kill her, Waist High the blog was born. Please do not tell Waist High the person that you are going to kill her or she will create "Waist High" the blog and write nasty things about you! Including the time you stunk up the bathroom at The Alley Cat. The "Kern County Drunkard Watch" detailed the drunken comings and goings of the live-in love interest of one of Waist High's most cherished male friends. Never has Waist High met anyone who drank as much as or as often as The KCD. The KCD, because she was an insecure drunk, hated Waist High for most of her decade long relationship with Waist High's most cherished male friend. She hated Waist High for the obvious reason: Waist High is hot. A one time source of much of the material for Waist High the blog, The "Kern County Drunkard Watch" was permanently retired in March 2005 when Waist High's most cherished male friend finally came to his senses and kicked her ass to the curb.

RAMPART
Rampart is the first ex-husband of Waist High. She refers to him as her first ex-husband because she knows there will eventually be a second. Rampart grew up on the mean streets of Bakersfield and claims to have been the co-discoverer of the well known 1980s dirt field party spot known as "The Place." Rampart is an accidental contributor to Waist High. Rampart's 1987 directive to Waist High, "Drink this six pack before I get back!" made both Waist High and Rampart parents at age 20. Rampart currently resides 4.5 miles from Waist High in the wilds of Oregon, and is an enduring fixture at their local Cigs For Less shop. Once a Bakersfield Del Taco associate, Sail Thru Hamburgers drive up dude, and Wible Road AM/PM graveyard worker, Rampart claims to now net $49,000 per month. But only to impress people, not when required.

(THE FORMER) LOVELY TEENAGED DAUGHTER
Not your average 21 year old. Born to Waist High as a "Miracle on 34th Street" in Bakersfield Memorial Hospital on 34th Street, LTD is on the board of MAC cosmetics. Not really, but she swears allegiance only to them. When LTD's mother once purchased LTD some eye shadow from Target, LTD threatened to call the police. Sweeter than Tupelo Honey, with the attitude of a feral cat, LTD is disgusted with most things. Including being forced to live with Waist High from 1988-2005. The child at one time even had her own blog, "Living With Waist High," which detailed her misery. Currently a junior at the oldest institution in the Oregon University System, LTD kept her promise of not getting knocked up at age 20 like Waist High did.

THE STRANGER
Oh God bless The Stranger. The Stranger was one of Waist High's most loyal confidants during some of the darker periods of the blog. Although his fierce allegiance to really bad music was a great source of aggravation for Waist High, The Stranger gave her a much needed look at life. Through the eyes of someone not yet bitter. The Stranger was almost pushed out of a moving vehicle when he revealed to Waist High that not only did he not know who Barry Manilow, Captain & Tenille, or Spandau Ballet were, but that he literally had no clue what Trail Mix was.

"TRI-TIP"
Special Correspondent to Waist High, and one of Waist High's most cherished friends. Used to live with The Kern County Drunkard. Was a Special Correspondent to Waist High for 9 months before knowing it. Long story. This individual coined the ultimate mid '80s Bakersfield drinking phrase, "Lock hubs. Party!"

PRISCILLA
A late addition to Waist High's Cast of Characters. Priscilla, who comes from a good home, spends way too much time with the ill-bred Waist High. Of the bad habits she has picked up, the one she will most live to regret is speaking like Waist High. For example to Priscilla, being fucked over by a supervisor used to be, "I feel betrayed!" Now? It goes a little something like, "That fucking cocksucker threw me under the bus again!"

I love being a role model!

DESI
Waist High's former "work spouse." Cares about Waist High so much that he once took Waist High with him on a smoke break the very next day after she spent two hundred and fifty dollars for hypnotherapy TO QUIT SMOKING. Was the first person in conversation to introduce Waist High to concepts like: "The Dirty Sanchez," "Dog In A Bathtub," "Tea Bagging," and "The Shocker." Reminds Waist High as often as possible that if women "neglect the balls," their men will leave them.
