Welcome to Gaia! ::

Issac and Adelaide died, but they left me Grey Tabi and Grey Longjohns, which I thought was very sweet.

Rumors -- not just a Fleetwood Mac album anymore!

I'm getting an Internal Error notice, Yam...

A side story, from Bari.

This story is too good, I have to share.

A friend of mine works in theatre, and she's working with a Director right now who's name is Tatyana. Now Tatyana is this older Russian woman, still very fierce, the kind you see in Bond movies... blonde hair, long nails, lots of jewelry, red lipstick, and faux-fur coats. She speaks very little English.

Now my friend is the stage manger, so she gets privileges. She invited me to sit in on this rehearsal simply because I did not believe her that this director woman was this crazy.

So I have a seat in the rehearsal hall, and there's Tatyana... talking with the creative team and the actors.

"All the vork that we do last night... I vas think on it... is garbage! We take all back... do over... vhat I vant is... blindfold... and everyone vandering round stage feeling, groping, breathless, laughing... okay? Get me sixteen blindfolds, then we do!"

Now the actors are already wearing body paint for costumes and she's talking to them about how she "Want's to see all ze nipples." (While twisting at her own nipples to emphasize this.)

And she's explaining how she wants this scene to be very sexual, that they should feel sexual, she should feel sexual, the crew should feel sexual, the audience should feel sexual... everyone needs to feel "Vhat is ze vord? De low body hum." (And she grabs at her crotch for this.)

So they start to do the scene, rolling around, sliding across the floor, touching, grouping, rubbing, and someone asks - "Tatyana, do you feel the low body hum?" and she's like "Not yet, we need laughter, more laughter! And breathing, heavy breathing!" So they do this and she's like:

"Ah... feels more like orgy! Now I feel it." and she turns to me, "Do you feel it?" and I look at her, in horror, trying not to die, and reply : "Oh yeah totally, I feel it." and she gives a brisk nod, "Good!"

And eventually she moves on about how this one character loses her virginity so she gets the idea to, quote: "Now we must... light up her c**t!"

I promise you I will take pictures when I go see this show.

So I share this with Color and we go to talking, what if the drama kids at OA got a sub teacher for a while and she made them do this kind of crazy s**t? Nude is too much for a school.. but Dorian, Adelaide, Charlie and Sofie in skin tight outfits, rolling on the floor with the rest of the drama class in "The Hermaphrodite Jungle."

Some examples of how rehearsals would play out...

"Grope more! I need to feel the low body hum!"

Adelaide: I don't think I want anybody to feel my low body hum.

Sofie: What's a low body hum? Are we supposed to be vibrating? Do I need a vibrator mechanism?

"Perfect! Let's have it for this scene"

Adelaide: *glaring bullets at Sofie.* "Shut up, Sofie. You're not helping."

Dorian: *straining for this low body hum* 'If this is what I want to do for a living I'd better just take my lumps and like it.'

"We should light up some of your cunts!"

Their poor, fragile, adolescent minds - so much esteem, pain, and trauma. They'd be crushed. And so cue the Student Council walking in on this madness, or god forbid seeing this play.

Maarten would be feeling a low body hum.. until he saw the guys.

Grietje would be choking. "Is this appropriate?? It isn't!"

Francisca would be hitting her head on a wall.

Rachel feeling a bit of the low hum, maybe? ;D ?

Issac seeing Adelaide like that? Oh yes.

So while we mused about it, we thought it'd be great to have this crack drawn comic style. Anyone up for the challenge? It's a contest~~

Some gold and Color's ORIGINAL COLOR THE WORLD PAINTBRUSH.

The stakes are high, can YoOOoOoUuUUU do it!?

If you want to make an OA girs' uniform, better act fast -- the Aquamarine Dashin Gentleman's Vest is leaving the Cash Shop on Friday.

"Bitchin."

"Hey fags."

"Can't help it. I've got such a dirty mouth."
