I was hanging out, working the box office at the improv theater with the house manager. She’s a super crazy cool girl, the kind of person that makes you want to shed all your inhibitions, take a shot, and start an impromptu dance party. Recently she revealed one of the coolest things ever: her legal name change. It’s so awesome and so funny I just had to take a picture of her license and share it with you all:

Supposedly, her older sister asked her what it would take for her to legally change her middle name to Nippletweaker: “I told her I’d do it if she gave herself a really horrible old lady perm and styled it like a comb over.” A judge denied Vanessa her name change request in court three times until she finally got a judge who mispronounced it Nipplay-tway-ker–which is almost as funny. I think I admire Vanessa’s drive and determination the most out of this story.
