The Audition Part II

[darth_stitch]

Remember that I, loon that I am, went for an audition?

Yep, I landed me a part.


It's not a big thing, actually. The cultural institution I'm working for is celebrating its anniversary and decided to put on a show featuring its own employees. "Amateur Night" - if you will. Heh.

So, I'm now stuck playing the role of Paulita - from the immortal Jose Rizal novel El Filibusterismo. And my partner is The Dork From Hell. I'm supposed to pretend I have a crush on the guy. *snicker* I believe that's why it's called showbusiness, ladies and gents.

The fun part came in when we were hunting 'round for a costume. The past, professional Paulitas were all...shall we say, Barbie-sized? The dresses were just a wee bit too snug.

*sighs* Okay, okay - my figure isn't fit to model any sort of swimsuit any time soon. It's...as the costume mistress snickered, Rubenesque.

Oi, I'm Darth Stitch - by definition, that means, short, cute, kinda fuzzy and capable of global-scale mayhem. Stick-thin I ain't.

Anyways, they came up with a brown dress that sorta looks Victorian-era to me. Which was more than fine because I can get to wear my boots underneath. I'm a klutz, can't wear stick-thin heels to save my life. If I want to add a few inches, it has to be thick, platform heels or nothing. At least, now I don't have to worry about falling on my ass onstage. Oh well...

BTW: If you're into pain, run over to lamardeuse and read the latest two chapters of Taste of Liberty. I love her, I really do - she posted the two chapters just for hp_femme and me because we're hopeless Snarry junkies.

*singsongs* Sev's doing an awful good job of doing the "damsel in distress" thing right now....

*ducks hexes*

Of course they'd get you, you're a fantabulous singer!

Now I must go refer to my old copy of Fili to see who Paulita is.

Cool! *grin* You go, girl!

Aw, screw the Barbies. (Freaks of nature, anyway. *snort*) I'm all for Rubenesque. *grin* Frankly, those women were hot. *eyes glaze over*

My kindred spirit! *throws arms around darth_stitch* Just seeing a photo of a pair of Manolo Blahniks is enough to make my left eye start twitching.

Aren't we the lucky girls? *happy sigh* (I love you, lamardeuse. I really really do. *smooch*)

That was just the best Snarry fix. I needed one tonight after toiling away on Snape/Lucius smut.

*grin*

*blush* Thanks, ladies.

*hugs hellcatjelybean and hp_femme*

Hail to thee, hp_femme, my kindred spirit. My officemates tease me about my er...."lack of fashion sense" (hey, if it ain't good ol' blue jeans, it's looooong billowy skirts for me) but laugh their collective asses off when they spot me wearing two-inch thick platform heels. Like I said, spike heels or something approaching that thin will make me keel over and fall. So it's that or my favorite ol' pair of boots.

And if you go to work via kamikaze Pinoy jeepney, FX taxi and train, you NEED traction.

Congratulations on getting the part! Sounds like fun--apart from the costuming hassles...(yes, I agree with you completely about stick heels--I'd have a sprained ankle in about five seconds).

Congrats!

Have a blast!! It sounds like it's going to be fun! Rubinesque figures run in our family, so go for it!

I have never liked heels, even when I could wear them and look cute. Nowadays I wear walking shoes, sandals, or my paddock boots. Thin heels would probably kill me.

I'll catch up on the Snarry fics this weekend when I have a spare moment to read. Augh. Project madness.
