My bathroom florescent lighting lends me an air of mystery. If I carried a florescent lamp around and aimed it at the perfect angle, I'd get more respect.
Florence Florescent created this lighting years ago, but foolishly sold the rights to GE for a pittance. Later, she created florescent head lamps for miners, but was sued for copyright infringement by GE and wound up dying in poverty.
There is a statue of her in a small park in her hometown of Guttenberg, NJ. Parents try to explain her importance to kids, who just shrug and ask for ice cream.
After Hamilton winds down, there should be a musical about this woman. Meanwhile, I will continue to preen before my mirror, under lit and shadowed in mystery.
