So evidently when it comes to panty wrangling – I’m the one. I’ve worked with all the major producers in the Dallas area. Starting to wonder if I should draw up a contract with specific requirements, if you want me to wrangle. Some points I would include:
- I must attend at least one dress rehearsal
- No props to exceed 30 lbs
- No more than 2 props per panty wrangler/stage hand
- I will only work with certain stage managers
- No two prop-heavy performances should occur back to back
- Guaranteed pay in advance of each show
Okay – that last one is never gonna happen. But it’d be nice. I hate having to sit around and wait to get paid. It’s not like I just stop when the show is over. I normally help load and move props, plus the stage clean up. Having to sit around for an hour after that is annoying.
Maybe I’m just not made for show business.
Or maybe I’m becoming a Diva.
Speaking of - Next shows:
- Friday night at The Lakewood – with a special performance by our very own “Michael Jackson”
- July 16 @ the Church Lollie Bombs v Bit Rot in another Grotesque Burlesque feature White Meat the Clown
And I’m taking the month of August off.
In theory I’m saving up my money for our cruise at the end of July – but in reality I’m spending money for our cruise at the end of July. I bought a cute pair of red dressy sandals for my red dress which I have yet to wear. Last night I spend $103 on two dresses for the cruise. One is formal and one is casual. If I remember correctly there are two formal nights on the cruise – so I still need another formal dress. However, I have plenty of other dresses for dinners on the cruise – one I may be able to pull off/dress up for one of the formal nights.
Here is the formal dress:
- This one has a lovely back with lace embellishments
And the casual: 
- This one I didn’t really need, I have plenty of casual dresses for the cruise – but I like it.
I think I need more shoes now.
I know. I’m a big fat liar…again.
I’d say I just haven’t had much to update about – or maybe I’ve just got too much going on that I don’t get around to it. While those seem contradictory, they both seem true.
Our softball team is getting it’s ass handed to them on a weekly basis now – I’m ready for this season to end, so we can start in the fall with more evenly match teams.
I’m afraid I may be getting burned out on panty wrangling. Or maybe I just had way too much going on last week before the shows. My next one is July 2nd, then July 16th, then August 6th. I’m missing the August lollies show due to a family reunion in OK. I’m still trying to convince Phlome that he should go. I don’t want to make him go, but I doubt I can convince him to want to go.
Work has me going to Austin about once a month here during the summer. My first trip was last Thursday and Friday, my next one is late July – just before our cruise. Then I might be going back in August – depends on if my boss approves it.
Speaking of cruise. We’re planning our excursions now. I think we’ve decided on:
Sandals in Jamaica
Sting Ray snorkeling in Cozumel
Secret River in Grand Cayman
I may have those last two mixed up.
Ok – end of day - time to go home now…whoo!
A good while back I used MS Paint to draw a cartoon depiction of one of Eddie Izzard’s comedy bits. It was the Volcano/Dragonfly bit. I’m not real sure what ever happened to it. So I drew it again. I think the second one was better, so I posted it on facebook. I then decided to draw a depiction of my the Badger joke from Sexie – that one is so lame it makes me laugh every time. Then I started working the giraffe coughing bit, but struggled for a good while trying to actually draw a giraffe. But I gave up on the tiger, and just pasted in an image I got from google images – I think it’s just the head of a generic tiger mascot image. So for your entertainment I am including these images here on my blog. (At Zero’s request). It also finally gives me something to blog about again. J
