I'm a little puzzled about the lack of research done on Ms. Rogers background. She may well be an "old Chicago pal" of Michele's, but she's originally from New Orleans. Everyone here knows her, she was Queen of Zulu back in the 70s (which, trust me, is a very big deal here, socially) and her maiden name is Glapion. Her father, Roy Glapion, was a popular city councilman until his death a few years back. He (as well as Ms. Rogers) is a direct descendant of the famed 19th century voodoo queen Marie Laveaux, who's married name was Glapion.

I'm not surprised that "the Village Tabbies" don't know this, but they should. Because descendants of "the widow Glapion" are not to be fucked with. Seriously.
