the ultimate faux pas

baby

Last night I ventured out to the theatre to see a friend’s show. The play was really good and the audience gathered in the lobby afterward to congratulate the actors…

The lights were low, people were mostly in silhouette, and I had no expectation of seeing anyone I might know. I glanced over to the little bar and I saw a gentleman in a suit drinking a beer. As my eyes adjusted I realized it was my agent. I thought to myself, “Hey, that’s Charles,” so I smiled and made my way closer to him.

I wasn’t sure he recognized me, so I questioned if it was indeed Charles, but I knew he was from my agency so I said, “Hi. Are you Ian?” (Ian is the newest agent at my agency and might not know me out of context).

“No, it’s Charles. Hi Ali,” Charles said giving me a hug.

[color=turquoise]Shit! Insert foot in mouth…and try to dig myself out of the hole.[/color]

“Oh, Charles, I’m so sorry. I knew it was you, but it was dark and it’s so out of context and…and…and…etc, etc.”

Charles was really sweet about it and he proceeded to give me some nice feedback he’d heard from a producer I’d auditioned for recently. We had a really nice chat, but I of course was internally obsessing over the fact that I called my agent by the wrong name!!!

This is one for my memoirs…

What a ditz.

Picnic

A couple of weeks ago I had an audition for a famous play by William Inge called Picnic. I really like this play and was happy to be going in for the character of Madge (made famous by [URL=http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001571/]Kim Novak[/url] in the 1955 [URL=http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0048491/]film version[/url]).

Around a pole, that is…

Some people who happen to read my blog (Erica) requested pictures of my obession. Many of the pictures I have of me “S”-ing involve me in very short shorts and might make the most devoted reader of my blog (my brother) uncomfortable. SO, here is a picture someone caught of me at a recent “Pole Party” I attended. Fully clothed in my jeans.

What’s a Pole Party?? When a woman gets a pole of her very own, she throws a party to “break it in” or “de-virginize it”.

This is the side (and most uninteresting) view of Flying Body Spiral…

Plese keep in mind that although it may look like I’m still touching the floor in the picture, I’m really up as far as my bottom hand is on the pole…spinning around it.

Have I mentioned I am now in the teacher training program and will start teaching S Factor very soon?(November perhaps)…yep.

Shazzam!
