Gwen's Corner

Chicks with Dicks. When you hear that phrase you think The Village right? Well this week it was our cast. Earlier this year we had our All Girls Show, which was FANTABULOUS. But the boys, being boys, whined and bitched cause they wanted their own show so we let them. And oh what a show it was! Here’s the line up, just so I can give you a heads up warning of what’s to come.

Frank – Wes
Janet – Preston
Brad – Danny
Riff – Glenn
Magenta – Gay Mike
Columbia – Saturn
Rocky – Josh (first core role since joining cast)
Eddie – James
Dr. Scott – Marc
Crimmie – Cody

Transies – Pete, Scott, Fish, Squid, and (when they weren’t busy being core cast) James, Marc, Cody.

Now, looking at this you might’ve noticed NONE of the girls were on stage. Not even transie! Well we were busy running tech, grip, and Floorwalking! I’d like to apologize on my part for those who were in the audience that night. I was sick, had a sore throat, and working on bronchitis (and being nervous! I’ve never floorwalked, I was sure I’d forget most of the lines…) So uh…kinda sucked. But not as much as I originally thought cause I was told the last week that I was heard most of the night, it was only towards the end (my throat REALLY hurt) that I started to die. But, DAMNIT, I did Animal’s line(s) so HA. Uhm…I also fucked up on the one big grip part I should’ve remembered but my brain went space cadety so uh…sorry Leah? BUT, this isn’t about us WONDERFUL girls (even though, hey, it really should be) it’s about the boys. First I’d like to say that the boys playing girls looked…special. Yes. Special. Mike was wearing my old Maggie dress which was too big in the chest area cause his boobs are no match for mine. So he kept having to adjust it. Saturn was…shiny. Yes, shiny is the word. And Preston. Ah, Preston. It was wonderful! He took some pink fabric and sewed Velcro on it for easy removal and…just…Preston in Pink. Wow. Course, he also has his pink furry bikini thing. Maybe he’s gay for pink.

So Pre-Show kinda dragged, and there was scattered chanting of “We want Starman” because, hey, he wasn’t doing Pre-Show. It was Cody and Wes. Virgin Games. Don’t really remember. I seem to recall boobs though. And movie starts! YAY movie. Preston was just…Manet. Yes. Manet. It was a little creepy and a whole lot of funny. Plus! He did good! YAY! There was no molesting, picking on, or otherwise annoying Preston. That was the one thing I missed. Janets are always harried.

Time warpy goodnesss! Saturn. Wes and I were talking about this in the back, Saturn looked kinda creepy up on the jukebox. Mary and Amy made him a rainbowy, Columbiaish necklace that dubbed him Cocklumbia. Anyways, he did very well! Wes was very nervous. Leah petted him. He was so nervous that Mary even flashed him! And she’s gay! It seemed to brighten his mood. Then, FWOOSH! Sweet T. Now this is the part where I forgot to bring the box down for Throne. * sobs * but Bizah and Leah gots it. The cape came off of Wes and his legs were shaking. I don’t know if it’s because of FEAR or, ya know, uncomfortable heels.

Undressy. Random shit. Sword of Damocles. Josh as Rocky. Underwear was too tiny (since it was girl’s undies) and all in all, made people kinda sad. The BEST part about this though was Animal. He got together a FULL Dee Snider/Twisted Sister costume, cranked up their Winter Wonderland and we had a full-out toilet paper fight! Animal was a very, very happy man. OH! Speaking of Josh…only we weren’t cause I skipped him and went to Animal (who has also played Rocky a long time ago, so it was kinda on subject, but not really since it was really a LONG time ago…) ANYWAYS…Josh. Opening Dance. Now, whenever Wes plays Rocky (this will get back to Josh I promise) anyways… Wes…Rocky. Opening dance. “Dr X…will build a Creature” Rocky runs forward and poses, ne? So, Josh ALWAYS tackles Wes here and proceeds to beat him up. Well, I knew that Wes wouldn’t be able to get his revenge on Josh this show, because, ya know…Frank. So I hid backstage where I couldn’t be seen, and when that part came up, Josh went DOWN. He thudded good. Wes said he screamed “I love you Shannon!” but I didn’t hear because I was laughing to damn hard. So yes. Josh = Thuds Good.

Bedroom scenes. Wes gets ball sweat wiped on his face by Preston. The least said about this subject the better.

Tank scene. Josh gets raped by Preston. The least said about this subject the better.

Dinner scene didn’t exist in the traditional way. Nope. Animal reappeared as Dee Snider and we had Twisted Sister’s version of Twelve Day’s of Christmas. For those curious:

An Tattoo of Ozzy
Two Pairs of Spandex Pants
Three Studded Belts
Four Quarts of Jack (everyone remembered this one!)
Five Skull Earrings
Six Cans of Hairspray
Seven Leather Jackets
Eight Pentagrams
Nine Tattered T-Shirts
Ten Pairs of Platforms
Eleven Black Mascaras
Twelve Silver Crosses

We had picture signs so people could learn faster. Smack! Chase Preston. Only…that didn’t really happen. C’mon. Do you really think Preston would run from Wes? Really? Cause you’d be wrong. Freeze frame! Floorshow! Everyone did really well on their floorshows. The best part, though, was after all that. Glenn reprised He-Man for Spacesuit Scene. Complete with the music. I was almost a little sad I didn’t know about this way in advance I woulda tried damn hard to make Mike a Shera costume. It would’ve been HILARIOUS and you know it. :-D So, that was our show really. The boys did really well, the girls did really well and the audience had a blast!
