Pret-a-porter?
How did I miss this insult? Or was it a confession? WEre those thongs not lovingly and expensively constructed by small people in dark rooms just for me-me-me? Never have I worn an off the rack thong. My GOD. WHat do you take me for.
WEll, if we are confessing humiliating moments in our stage lives...
During a summer production of Pippin, I was playing the role of Catherine and she has this dramatic scene where she runs after Pippin crying "I love you, Pippin, I love you!" For me this involved having to run up a few steps. On opening night, I tripped and fell flat on my face on the steps. Not to be deprived of my most dramatic moment however, I stretched my hands out after Pippin, sobbing, (mostly from embarrassment and bruised knees), "But I LOVE YOU, PIPPIN! I LOVE YOUuuuu"
The director came backstage after the show and put his hands on my shoulders, gazed into my eyes, and said, "God that was so brilliant! I loved it! Keep it." |
