I don’t have much to go on aside from the ads I’ve seen on the sides of the buses that pass me on Mass Ave in Cambridge, but that man looks so gay my ass hurts.<\/p>\n
He could be the butchest thing on earth when on the air, but his photo alongside the Good Morning America news team makes him look like plastic surgery gone wrong, mixed with blonde hair dye, over-done teeth whitening,\u00a0and excessive make up. I wouldn’t have noticed if it weren’t for the fact that 6 buses passed me this morning and every single one had his photo on the side.<\/p>\n
In other news, my friends Jason and Bryan talked me into going to a play last night. We were supposed to get together for Rummy, but Jason got tickets to See a Gilbert & Sullivan operatta called Iolanthe. As written, the story is set in Eduardian England where a\u00a0colony of fairies is treated differently than the mortals. A boy, born of a fairy mother and a mortal father wants to marry a mortal – but it causes scandals in both circles.<\/p>\n
However, this being Massachusetts and an election year, the director put a bit of a twist on the story by casting the opposite gender in each role. The opening scene consisted of a dozen or so men dressed as fairies prancing on the stage singing the women’s parts. I swear they raided the set of “Priscilla: Queen of the Desert.” The costumes and make-up were amazing (perhaps I saw Sam Champion singing and dancing up there?)<\/p>\n
Anyway, the female actors all played the mortal men (hunters, chancellors, etc…) and sang all of the male roles. Basically, the production was all about tolerance. As the Boston Conservatory of Music website stated: it was\u00a0“both a fairy tale and political satire that evokes controversies over ‘family values’, trule love, and liberalism vs. conservativism.” I had fun – and can’t thank Jason and Bryan enough for dragging me along (I’m so reluctant to be social on school nights – I need people to push my boundaries).<\/p>\n
This weekend my friend, Chris, is coming up from Washington, DC (the poor guy will be arriving during tomorrow’s huge wind and rain storm). To expand upon my cultural explorations, we’re going to be seeing the latest Ryan Landry play at the Ramrod Center for the Performing Arts (essentially, the play takes place at Boston’s biggest leather bar). His theatre troupe is\u00a0doing a spoof of three Twilight Zone episodes…all in drag, of course. Should be fun!<\/p>\n
