The other day, I was blabbering on (which I usually do) about how grateful I am that I'm not in New York (which I usually don't).
Feeling all content and self-righteous with my St. Louis is the New York for the New Millennium commentary, I went about my weekend making mischief, something also not uncommon.
Before you think this is going somewhere lurid (which it doesn't - but it could - because it has), I should explain that now that I have found the Church, my mischief making ways now invole bicycling compulsively, smoking like a fiend and finding cute, new tee shirts to wear.
All for the glory of a cheap buzz, vanity and a new gay.com profile photo.
Think of it as a mix of: Can I get an Amen? and Can I get a man? But those are questions I'm not answering up in here. I don't kiss and tell. Not anymore.
So I was all full of sassafrass this morning, ready to spill the beans on a Top Secret project I've been working on and then I read this entry from my Pretend Internet Boyfriend, who is one of those "unfortuante New Yorkers."
He saw Suzanne Sommer's one woman show in NYC and my smugness evaporated. It was like salt in a wound, reading about the final performance of her "One Woman Musical Joyride," The Blonde in the Thunderbird.
But I can't begrudge him for having access to theater, which is all he may have access to, these days. But if Suzanne takes her show on the road, I'm thinking it's time for a road trip.
And as for my Top Secret project, well, that's still in the works...
Posted July 25, 2005 10:37 AMWe're glad someone's reading our crap! Oh, Rob, I'm not sure you would have survived all 100 minutes of it. While the '"Take Back Your Mink" audition/hiding in the closet while daddy rips the prom dress'segment was sublime, the mid-show string of 37 talk-screamed ballads (some old, some original) might have posed a threat to your very existence. If it weren't my need to see the QVC cart (the one that apparently brought down a curtain the night before), I may well have shot my head off.
No, that's not true. I'm just trying to make you feel better. However, after the show, we were approached by a cameraman with an interviewer who asked us to say something about the show because they were trying to take it on tour. Because we're not good at lying on the fly we stupidly, stupidly declined. Anyway, there's hope for you yet.
