I'm off to the big apple tomorrow.
Saturday will be my big day there, but I'll be arriving tomorrow. |

I got the OBC of Gypsy ... and enjoying it ... and wondering, "how on earth am I going to get into this show?"
My high school is doing it this fall...joy. |

So today I decided to redo my Gypsy Poster because the first one was, admittedly, very sucky. So here's the new and improved version:
Full size: http://i223.photobucket.com/albums/dd162/thespianist/gypsytry2final.jpg And the sucky version from yesterday: 
|
||||||
| littlemisstheatregirl |
Thats a fantastic poster.
Today was the first day in all of my summer break (2 weeks so far) that I actually got to sleep in. Yay! |
||||||
| idTAPthat89 |
ditto to that one...yay for sleeping in until an ungodly hour!! 
and the patti lupone poster...brilliant! |
||||||
| Joshua |
Thanks! 
And I went back and re-did Patti -- the color of her dress and she was really blurry in the other version. 
And full size in case any of you want to use it as a wallpaper.

Very nice, Josh! You should make one of the new logo.
|
||||||
| Joshua |
What do you mean? Like the current picture of her during Rose's Turn? I was thinking about replacing this picture with that picture, but that'll be tomorrow, lol. |
||||||
| pish123c |
Yeah. The current poster that's pretty much the same as that one but she's in the red dress instead of the outdated blue one. (The red dress poster is relatively new...I saw the show in April and my Playbill has her in the blue dress.) |
||||||
| Joshua |
Yeah they did a shoddy job cutting her out in that one. But the rest of that poster is amazing and perfect. |
||||||
| jackissensational |
You perfectionist, Josh! The first one (I mean, the *first* one) was amazing! Therefore, the improvments are doubly amazing! | ||||||

My grandfather is (mostly) okay!
The doctors found a blockage in his heart, but it's in a spot that is for the most part in-operable. They were thinking of attempting it, but he had a quadruple bypass last year so they can't operate on him again so soon. So, they gave him some new medication, and he came home this afternoon. Thank goodness! |

I have a new signature.
It's too big. I don't care. The girls in the background think our asses are the hottest thing since hoola hoops. |
||||||
| candymancan |
Hotter than hoola Hoops?... But it looks like you guys had fun! Did you go on the new Toy Story ride? |
||||||
| Matthew |
I did. He didn't. | ||||||
| candymancan |
What is it? I just heard it is like The Buzz Lightyear Astro Blasters, but there has to be some kind of difference besides the theme. I hope there is. | ||||||
| Matthew |
This one is in 4D and it's like a cannon instead of a gun.
It's fantastic. |

I was informed today that apparently everyone I went to HS with last year used to call me 'Skeletor' behind my back. And my two best friends couldn't be bothered to tell me to eat a cheeseburger.
But, as my best friend said, I probably wouldn't have listened to her anyway. What I don't get though is why all the adults I was around all last year (I spent about 70% of everyday in the music room with two teachers) didn't say anything about the fact that I apparently looked 'sick.' Oh well, apparently I look 'healthy' now. Even if I can't get my favourite pair of jeans to button. |
||||||
| Trevor reincarnate |
It's okay. If I recall correctly, you love AE.
If so, your favorite jeans wouldn't be worth fitting into anyway... |
||||||

WoO!
HOLIDAYS! Lovin' it.. And 2 weeks 'til I leave Australia for the first time :d
|
||||||
| darthlorexa |
Statistics is over, yay!
Well almost yay because I have to know whether or not I got enough to pass, my teacher's going to call me if I need to get a couple of extra marks. Once this is over, I will never have to take maths again!!! |

My body hates me, I guess. I don't feel good today (and didn't yesterday for that matter) 
|
||||||
| nycbound |
Life is sweet today!
I'm working on a show I love (You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown), was cast in "The Hot Mikado" this Monday, and just found out that I've been cast in "Ragtime" as Evelyn Nesbit later in the fall! Three shows in row! I'm a happy girl! |
||||||
| AllThatJazzHands |
Oh, I'm so jealous! Ragtime is one of my favorites. Congrats to you! |
||||||

Thank you! I'm floating on Cloud Nine today! | ||||||
| kozafluitmusique |
I love floating on cloud nine - I was about a week ago. It's the best feeling in the world.
My mom, dad, and sister are seeing "Kung Fu Panda" today. I 'm not going with them. |
||||||
| candymancan |
I saw the Drowsy Chaperone last night cause it is in town. It was really good. But for some reason I wasn't too into it. It probably doesn't help being on the row that is second from the back on the balcony... Yay for cheap tickets! But I knew every word of it and my parents told me after that they would look over and see me mouthing all the songs... I love being a musical loser like that. | ||||||
| DontDoSadnessxx |
I lied to my voice teacher and cancelled my lesson tonight because I'm not ready to tell her that I'm leaving her for Lowdermilk. And I have no clue what I want to major in for college... and she's trying to control my decision. I am sooo confused.
I'm not ready and I don't know what to do. Just freakin great. |
||||||
| Set_Buildin_Dad |
Gongrats! I'm sure you're flying high. BTW - I choreographed Hot mikado last year. What role did you get? |
||||||
| star2ballie |
My family is on vacation for a week and I'm all alone here and really sad.
I realized I don't really have a lot of friends. And all I do is sit here with my dog all day and then go to work. How pathetic. I'm going to be such a loser at college. |
||||||
| nycbound |
Thank you, Set_Buildin_Dad!
I was called back for Peep-Bo, but in the end, I was cast as a Lady of Japan. So, just ensemble, but it's such a fun show and the music is a lot more challenging than I expected it to be.
*hugs Allie* Trust me. College is a whole new ball game. You will be FINE! |
||||||
| Salome |
College will bring alot of freinds. especially in the theatre department. its a real bonding experience. |

Blood brothers closing night. It was fabb. Everyone said it was greatt. Well, except for Scot, the camp copper.
Then I went out for a drink with my folks and my cousin. And then I got a portion of chips. Its been a good night. |

I get super lonely when I'm not with my family. They're just about all I need. This is gonna sound kinda odd, but I mean it sincerely - friends are kinda overrated. How many friends do we need? How full do you want your social calendar to be? Spending time on your own and cultivating yourself is ESSENTIAL, I think. Sometimes I think we make friends because we want them to fill certain holes in our lives but no one can really ever fill any hole for you - you are the only person that can change a thing about yourself. And not spending the time to make yourself the best person you can be is a crime against the One that made you. But that's just narcissistic MaryMag talking. I'm sorry you're lonely and maybe bored right now - I was totally that way in New York! But screw it. It's temporary. You're so intelligent and ambitious, you'll find something to busy yourself with. And you have social skills - you're not like super duper awkward, so you'll be fine in college. abrazos. |

I just finished my run in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs and it could not have ran any better. For once I worked with a cast that I got a long with everyone, and even though it was so challenging, I have never had so much fun. I just needed to announce that. | ||||||

I used to work at AE, so therefore, I am about as far from loving it as possible. Picked up my very last paycheck from there today! I don't know how it is at other AE's, but no matter how desperate any of you are for a job, DO NOT work at the one I worked at. |
||||||
| candymancan |
Yay my parents just left for a little vacation, so I am home alone! Time to do something... risque? I might just run around the house naked!!!! Nah... My brothers should be home soon. I suppose I will sit here and browse the internets some more. | ||||||

I'm so lame because I'm SOBBING over not being able to go see All's Well That Ends Well at the Old Globe tonight.
My friend and I got one free ticket a piece, and they are only valid for tonight. He told me he's 'too tired' to go, but went on to ask if I wanted to see some stupid movie later tonight. He was my only form of transportation. I'm really upset. The tickets are normally $60, which is unbelievably out of my price range. We have free tickets for the other two shows in the festival for sometime in July... hopefully he won't back out of those... I'm going to go finish crying now. |
||||||
| kozafluitmusique |
I'm sorry
|
||||||
| star2ballie |
you guys rock. thanks.
any marymag, your worldy wiseisms never cease to amaze me. besos y abrazos por tu tambien. its just like what MM said...my family is literally all i *need*, so when theyre gone i feel like i dont know what to do with myself. i have friends but i just dont connect anyone like i do with my fam, specifically my mom. i know college is gonna be great but im getting to that point where im sad its 6 hours away. mehhhh. i know its gonna be fine. i just miss my momma now and i know im gonna miss her more in september. but HEY GREAT NEWS AT WORK. the artistic director came up to me and was like, "listen you have been doing such an awesome job dressing that we want you to assistant stage manage the next show" !!!!!!!!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. first of all i'm nervous cause ive only SM'd twice and both at my HS/MS. this is a fracking amazing equity theatre. but good lord im glad i wont be dressing. EponineMNFF, I am so sorry for your loss. It's terrible losing a loved one. I'll say a prayer for you and your family tonight! |

For some reason, at 12:30 at night, I decided to handwash my Le Sportsac bag and am now watching 300 for the millionth time...rather than cleaning my room and straightening my hair.
I'm going to Jersey Gardens mall tomorrow, so I must accomplish these things if I wish to be allowed to use my credit card. |
||||||
| AllThatJazzHands |
As am I. My prayers are with you. |
||||||
| EponineMNFF |
Thanks all for the good wishes. It means a lot to me. And I'm sure Nana is happy to be out of the hospital.
Shakalakababy--I'm sorry about your dad. That must be really hard. I'll keep you and your family in my prayers. And I really hope he doesn't need to use a kidney, but I really admire your bravery for offering it to him. Wow! |

I love him. His new book was on sale at Borders the other day but I didn't buy it...Damn. I should get on that soon. |
||||||
| NoOneMournsTheWicked |
I just finished 'Naked.' I think my favourite thing he wrote was in 'Me Talk Pretty One Day,' when he talks about his experiences learning French, because I speak French the same way. I thought it was hysterical. I shopped all day today and ended up with an adorable shirt, pumps for the birthday party next week, a new wallet and a pretty headband and I spent barely any money (my mommy let me charge the shoes...since she pays my credit card bill). |

Can we get a preview? lol This weeks broadwaysecrets aren't as infuriating or inflammatory. |

A ridiculous version of Here I Am from Dirty Rotten Scoundrels. This is what happens when you put two people cramped up in a house when it's about to storm outside. Yes, I think the outfit is wonderful, too - tee hee!

My favorite club in the whole wide world is closing tonight. I am so heartbroken. Where am I going to go and be pretentious and alternative? Where can I wear my snotty ass heroine-chic clothing and my faux hawk? I can't even go and say goodbye. And even if I could, I probably couldn't get in. FRICK. Wish I was still dating the DJ. I would have been having a BLAST right now. A BLAST. Like, the time of my life. | ||||||
| highkick49 |
*graphic* I was on the eliptical and it was bothering me, but I just kept adjusting it when it bothered me and stayed on the machine. Got home and my penis was covered in blood. Come to find out I ended up rubbing it raw on the inside of my undewear without even knowing it. It hurt like a bitch the first couple days and was unbearably painful to pee. But it is getting better now. Thank God! |
||||||
| mizzie |
That's so funny! The girl who used to live in my house was named Ashley. We always joked that we named the dog after her. And as for the penis thing... Me too. LOL. |
||||||
| Joshua |
Oh my God. 
That's an odd story. Well I hope your penis replenishes its skin supply... that was an odd statement. |

Ok, so my friend is making me help her pick a dress for our other friend's birthday party...
The only issue is that said friend's body is extremely different from mine. For those who don't know, I'm very short and relatively thin. She's of normal height and very heavy. She also doesn't care much about clothing, but she always gets mad if me and our other friend (the birthday girl) match/get dressed up and she doesn't, so she wants to fit in. So, whatever, I said I'd help her find a dress but I have no idea what to tell her to wear. I mean, this is a girl who went to a job interview in ripped, stained jeans, an over-sized t-shirt, frizzy frizzy hair, no makeup and flip flops and her body is completely different from mine. What do I tell her to wear? Me and our other friend went shoe shopping today and both bought black, peep-toe pumps for the party, and lord knows she's going to be mad if she can't wear black peep-toes too. (Even though her 'dress shoes' are sketchers sneaker/flat things). Like, I like to think of myself as pretty fashionable (I just bought a shirt for what is going to be the cutest outfit ever today) but I am really at a loss. Anyone with ideas? |
||||||
| highkick49 |
Well if this is truely your friend she obviously is calling out for a lot more than just help picking out a dress. She likes your sense of style and asked for your help as a friend I feel like you should go out of your way to help her. Take her to torrid and try on a couple things with her and tlel her what you like and what you don't like, make an effort to go shopping with her. I find a lot of problems with people who have style problems is that they have told themselves that they don't make clothes that fit their body-type, you should show her that she can be just as fashionable as you, they have great stuff for bigger girls at Torrid, take her there and get here what she loves. And maybe to make her feel even more better about herself find something you can wear to match off of her, even if you all wear the same color or pattern. There really is a lot of possiblities here for you to be able to go out of your way and be that great friend! |
||||||
| BroadwayBaby0202 |
hahahahahahhahah.
so maybe I'm just really dumb and never realized this before buttttt... has anyone ever noticed the borderline midget during Summer Nights in Grease? |
||||||
| LaurelDP |
Your poor penis.
|
||||||
| NoOneMournsTheWicked |
The issue at hand is that she is under the belief that she can wear the same things as me...Like, my dress comes in another color and at first she was going to just buy that one, which is very low cut and very short and empire waist (not flattering things for her). I had to tell her that the color would clash with her newly red hair to get her to not buy it. And she wants to go to Forever 21. So now I'm on the Forever 21 website, searching for dresses that might be appropriate, but I don't know how to dress her body type. Like, I'm what my other friend calls 'Baby-Pear shaped,' meaning I'm petite, but the widest part of my body is my hips/thighs. This girl is very much 'Apple' shaped. And you just can't wear the same dresses when your bodies are different. And as me and our other friend are doing a lot of black/grey, she'll be mad if I don't tell her to get a black/grey dress. |
||||||
| highkick49 |
Well I personally would take her to somewhere where you know you're going to find clothes that will fit her and show her how much better clothes will look on her and how more happy she will be not trying to live in your shadow but being able to look great and suttely match with you guys but still keep her own individual style.
yah she may be upset for a second that she can't shop at forever 21 but then maybe she will make a lifestyle change, but still try and show her that there are options for her to look and feel great, but she doesn't need to try and wear the same thing when you two or two totally different shapes and bodies. |
||||||
| LaurelDP |
If you describe your friend as normal height and very heavy, there is no way she could get a dress at Forever 21. I'm pretty sure they only carry up to a size Large. Try to bring her to a different store, she'll just end up embarassed at Forever 21!
As for stuff that will flatter her... try to find things that make her boobs look good and then floats away from the body. And something with sleeves or a thicker strap. |
||||||
| Bianca. |
how heavy do you mean by heavy?
f21 does NOT WORK for anyone larger than like.. an 8. I know. I am an 8. it's VERY HARD for me to find things there that will be flattering. they have said they aim their clothing at very thin girls. Take her somewhere with stuff of a nice quality.... well constructed garments flatter less than perfect figures. |
||||||
| NoOneMournsTheWicked |
Last time I bought her a shirt, I had to get a size 14. She never wore it, so I don't even know if it fit.
This is the dress she showed me that she likes: 
I'm going to suggest something more like this: 
Thicker straps, nipped in waist, flowing, long skirt. |
||||||
| reedzee |
What's her chest like? I've got a rack you could see from space, which obviously effects what I can and can't wear. I take a 16 to accommodate for the ginormous boobs alone.
I could see myself wearing something like what you're thinking of. If she's flat-chested, it might be more of a problem fitting into the top half of that kind of dress. |
||||||
| NoOneMournsTheWicked |
Her chest is really big. Much bigger than mine. (Which isn't hard to be...but still.) | ||||||
| Holly |
f21 is crazy. i'm a 10-12 and can't find anything there (i buy underwear and sunglasses successfully but that's about it). i think the biggest size i've seen in the actual store of pants/shorts is a 28 - which i think translates to a size 6ish? (feel free to correct me.) |
||||||
| Nudelkopf |
|
||||||
| Catherine |
American dress sizes really confuse me. I'm gonna put a little translation thang here for future reference
American English 0 4 2 6 4 8 6 10 8 12 10 14 12 16 14 18 16 20 Is that right? If so, I'm a size... 2/4 over there. |
||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
OMG shopping.
Shopping and I have a love-hate relationship. So much. I like clothes a lot. But ... when your 28-inch waist is a size 4 and your 41-inch chest is a size 12, clothes don't tend to like you. I can really only shop at the Gap, and even so, a lot of things don't fit me right. Dresses are out of the question for the most part 'cause they hit my chest and decide that the rest of my body is that big, too. I have trouble with pants, too ... accounting for hips, I'm a 6/8 in pants, but in terms of length, my legs are 34 inches. And most women's pants are 31 inch. So they're too short without fail. And soooo few places carry talls, except for Lands End, and they're so expensive. [/shopping woes ramble] |
||||||
| mezzo_soprano |
I hate shopping for pants too. I'm 5'9 so finding long pants is a problem for me too. | ||||||
| curlyhairedsoprano91 |
Exactly. I'm 5'9" as well and a leggy 5'9". It sucks. Because when you can see the mismatched socks, it's not usually a good thing. | ||||||
| mezzo_soprano |
Same here execpt its when you can see the monkey / wicked witch socks its a bad thing. | ||||||
| AllThatJazzHands |
I'm pretty thin so it's hard to find pants where the back pockets aren't hanging around my knees. My legs are long, too, so that's another obstacle. My jeans are always too long but the shorter jeans are too short. Le sigh. | ||||||
| Catherine |
Oh God. I feel kinda shell-shocked at the moment to be honest. I have a weird churny quishy feeling in my gut and I just feel downright weird
I guess I'll tell you guys what happened. So I was doing Blood Brothers on Friday and my mate (lets call her Sarah) was gonna come, but then she texted me at about 3am on Friday saying she couldn't go coz something "pretty horrible" had happened. I was obviously a bit concerned then, coz it was late and she seemed pretty... weird, I dunno, can't find the words. Anyway, I didn't talk to her all weekend (not intentionally, she wasn't on msn or anything and I thought I'd give her some space after the thing: after texting her to tell her it was OK she couldn't come) and I texted her to ask if she was ok, and saying she could talk to me if she wanted to. So Sarah texts me back saying that she wasn't great, because her friend had committed suicide... I knew she was telling the truth, she wouldn't lie about something like that, and she obviously didn't want attention because she said she wanted a bit of time alone before she went to school on monday. I don't even know who this person was, Sarah didn't tell me, and she didn't tell me how close a friend the person was, but I knew she must have been cut up about it. I don't know what to do except pray for the family and the person, and even though I don't know who the person is I still feel weird and churny. I guess I just wanted to tell someone. |
