And What Will I Do Without This Sort Of Silliness?


Got the ragged edges in my soul today. No idea why.
But I'm going to try and wear them down with a walk and then a trip to town to pick up Lily and Owen and go meet Hank for lunch. That should do it.
And tonight we have a run-through rehearsal and then tomorrow night we have off and then we perform Thursday, Friday, and Saturday. Then we're done. Done with Sex Please.
There's going to be some fierce withdrawal from this one because we've all become so close and had so much fun. I forgot to tell you but we had a wardrobe malfunction on Saturday night. I couldn't see it because I was backstage, but I knew the audience would NOT quit laughing and I knew that Marcy (who caused the malfunction) was lying on the floor backstage. Turns out that when she'd pulled down Jack's pants which was supposed to reveal his funny boxer shorts, she'd pulled them down too. I hear only his butt was revealed but still...
Marcy was mortified, Jack took it in stride, and we have another funny memory.

Well. Life will go on, even if the show does not.

  1. Butts are always funny. Why is that? It's the most human joke of all: "Hey, look at my butt!"

  2. Oh My God! What a hilarious picture! I just can't get over how radiant Ben and Betty are... I think I want to have sex with them! ha!

    That look you are giving is classic Mary. It says more than words can.

    The wardrobe malfunction? Priceless.

    It would be so cool if someone made a sort of scrapbook of all the theater doings and pictures and fun stories to be part of it's history. I think Mr. Perkins would approve!

  3. Of all the things I've never wanted to see, I think Jack's butt is one of them.

  5. That's too funny!
    Maybe it will make you giggle later and that might perk you up?

  6. Hope your edges have smoothed to velvet by now.

    It is so strange, but when I was in NY this weekend being a typical tourist,, and taking my typical Imagine memorial picture in Central Park, I thought of you and Elizabeth and Kathleen , and how we are so different and yet not.

    and that I'm so very blessed

  7. Me too. Woke up this morning and instead of the promised sunshine, back to gray, rain and a very strange feeling of distance from...I don't even know. B.Loved brought a big bag of ice for my back and I am in bed, trying to read but not very successful at that either. Seeing Owen would take care of any malaise I have today. My back hurts and I am sad, raining days and [Tuesday] bring me down...

  8. DTG- And being the butt of a joke sucks.

    Petit Fleur- There may be a scrapbook like that somewhere.

    Lois- They were laughing so hard backstage I kept trying to sssh them. I had no idea...

    Jon- Well, I missed it.

    Nancy C- Welcome home!

    Mwa- I am sure it will.

    Deb- Ahh. Wish I'd been there too.

    Allegra- You have good reason to be sad and most likely the rain gave you an excuse. It takes a lot of energy not to give in to sadness and pain. We don't always have that energy. I hope you feel better now.
    I do. But of course- I had Owen.

  9. I think butts are under-appreciated. They serve us so well and we thank them by covering them up.
    Hope you feel better, dear Ms. Moon.

  10. Angie- Well, beautiful butts are not under-appreciated but in general, butts are not given the credit they are due.
