pipistrellafelix(I forgot to post this--one more entertaining adventure in life.)
On Wednesday night I was at the Rosebud (a lovely little bar near SU, which doesn't card, which is why all the drama kids go there all the time). I was sitting at the bar with my friend Andy, sipping at my vodka & cran, waiting for my payment to go through, chatting away. A lady I had never met before in my life comes up to the other side of me & asks, very sweetly & earnestly, "Would you like to do pin-up burlesque?"
(My mind says, What? Who are you? A burlesque recruiter?!) I glance over at Andy, who just waggles his eyebrows at me, & turn back to the lady & say, "I'd...never thought about it." (Tentative is the way to go!)
She then proceeds to tell me that there's a workshop going on this weekend with Amy GoGo (I think that's her name)--makeup & hair on Saturday, photo shoot Sunday! It's only $150, & she thinks I'd really like it (how she knows this, since we've never met, is beyond me).
I tell her I'll think about it, & thanks for letting me know, & she reiterates how enjoyable it'll be, & then goes back to her end of the bar.
...I was flattered? & also a little flabbergasted. But if it didn't cost $150, I might have gone. Camille is convinced I'll grow up to be a burlesque teacher...this would be good training. Haha.

Date: 2008-02-23 01:30 am (UTC)Meanwhile this was all happening while I'm at the Falcon, (a grimy little bar near U(c), which doesn't card, which is why half my friends go every Wednesday) and a lady I've never met before in my life sidles up to me and asks us what we're talking about. When we try to explain it for ten minutes and she still doesn't understand that Dark Star is a song and the Grateful Dead is not a cover band, I gave up and let Zach handle it. I'm not sure he's forgiven me yet.

Oh lord.
