The Review Is Out!


Oh my god. I finally got a good review out of Ray, the quirky reviewer! He loved the play. He loved the actors. The casting was "perfect!" He loved me! I think. But I am quite certain he really loved my shoes. "Moon wears an assortment of outfits including a pair of knock-out high heeled wedgies."

Please be assured that there was more to the outfit than the shoes. Please.

This was printed in the Monticello News which comes out, I think, twice weekly. It costs 50 cents and as plainly stated under the masthead, that is 46 cents + 4 cents and no, I do not know exactly what that means but I suppose it means tax is included in the 50 cents.

Under the masthead for the Letters To The Editor it says, "Letters to the editor are typed word for word, comma for comma, as sent to this newspaper."
Love it!
And the letter they printed in the edition with our review in it was titled, "Thank God For Answered Prayers," and it was about the House's vote to not take away the Jefferson Correctional Institute and included these words: I always told kids when getting ready to leave high school, go into Corrections, that is a job you will always have. There will always be inmates, so there will always be Institutions!!!! Never dreamed back then I may have to eat those words. Until we get the final word just keep on Praying for a Miracle on Big Joe Road, and JCI remains open. GOD IS SO GOOD

I am not even kidding you.

Why wouldn't we pray for a cessation of crime and thus, criminals? Well, where would the jobs go if there were no inmates? There would be no INSTITUTIONS!!!!

Duh.

Well, it looks like we are actually going to keep our prison so YAY! for us.

This is where I live. And you know, I do love it. Where else could I get to be in a play and be reviewed as to my shoes? Which I purchased at Goodwill for four bucks.

And so it goes. I think we're sold out for Saturday night, which is pretty cool.

It's about time for bed so I'm signing off.

Yours truly...Moon With The Knockout High Heeled Wedgies, aka, You Dirty Old Woman

    Congrats on the great review!

    Now I'm curious about those great red wedgies...and wondering if Ray may have a bit of a shoe fetish. :)

    So very awesome. I like that the snarky review fellow gave you a good review.

    I hate the robot word thing. Now there are two words to type and most are hard to read.

    Great to hear about your wonderful review, but pity about the prisons we need to give other folks jobs.

    Yay! And you were so worried. It always comes together in theatre. Somehow or another it does.

    WOW, goodie... Look at that! Your name in print and on the front page... Congratulations... Not many of us can say that we once were front page news...
    And you can walk high heels? I would break my neck in even trying. Well done! All your readers must be so proud. Not to mention your family and friends!
    And being on the front paper with good news, that is even more belly up!

    All Y'all- Thank you so much! And we were not on the front page, but on page four. It was a lot of space, though. But really- the Monticello News is pretty hungry for news. The shoes can be seen at this post's link:

    And Mwa- DARLING! I miss you! I hope you are all happy, healthy, busy, and well.

    Ms. Moon, the letter in the paper reminds me of when South Dakota and North Dakota fought with each other, bidding over which state would get to have enormous dump grounds for the trash from big cities on the coasts. It meant JOBS!
