Well, ladies and gentlemen, tonight we bring you sad tidings: this will be the final blog entry from our dynamic trio of NakedAtPlaces founding members Michael, Zanna and Denise. Denise will be carrying on the naked fun, but Michael and Zanna are moving on. (Zanna will be unemployed, if anyone is hiring. Just post in the comments. Thanks.) In unrelated news, Michael is hiring truck drivers. Zanna is a terrible driver, so no luck there for her. Denise is stuck with a bunch of beautiful drag queens, but we are hopeful that there will be a special New York NakedAtPlaces post later this month. Try to contain your excitement.
We know we haven't blogged much in the past month or so (the minivan excursion totally wore us out) but we truly have been busy. We (and by 'we' I mean Zanna and Denise, as Michael has become a real person) got very crafty and made Michael a glorious Moose Tray. (Photo to come. Wait for it . . .)
Denise broke away from the blogger herd and went to Vegas with our favorite Bosnian, where they discovered The Verge, a band who will soon be causing teenage girls to scream all over the nation. It's rumored that their rendition of "Sweet Caroline" made the Bosnian scream like a teenaged girl. Only rumors, folks, only rumors.
In between our mad partying, we acquired some new faces: the La Cage cast arrived! Can you tell who's in Kiss Me Kate and who's in La Cage? You'll never guess until we take of our wigs--I mean sunglasses!
Eventually the right moment came to present Michael with his glamorous new Moose Tray, and there was much rejoicing. And drinking. Most of the photographs are not suitable for public viewing (though they may be handy for blackmail later) but here is one of the tamer shots. Look at those adorable bloggers.
Now we can put the Bedazzler to rest, though you never know when Michael will feel the need to sparkle someone up. (Chapter?)
Our next excursion was to lovely Bartlett Lake.
It was a very successful cast outing, organized, bizzarely enough, by two of our straight gentlemen. Good job, guys! Way to throw a party. Zanna and Denise did not only sit on the beach and look stunning, they also showed their outdoorsy side by attempting their first kayak outing. They went in circles a lot. And giggled. It seems the two of them can't laugh and steer at the same time. However, if they are ever in the vicinity of a lake for any period of time, they may get joint custody of a kayak. And name it The Meacock Wretch, in honor of Michael.
Tomorrow will mark the last show of Kiss Me, Kate, and since it will be so difficult to replace Zanna and Michael in the hearts of our readers, we would like to announce the first ever America's Next Top Blogger, in which cast and crew will compete for the coveted title of Guest Blogger. Submissions are being accepted now. (use the comments section!) Think of Denise as Tyra, and Zanna and Michael as the weekly guest judges. We hope to see some excellent work! And we like pictures. (See blog about bribing. We're not ashamed.)
Oh where, oh where did the Bosnian go?
..we hope. Well the extravaganza opened. After an extremely hard tech week the show opened to laughter, shouts, applause and a standing ovation. The girls are so pretty - both the male and female ones. The walls moved, the apartment slid, and well no one was killed. To top it all off it felt like old times with fellow blogger Michael in attendance for the performance and after party...ahh the fun. PS if you haven't seen Tim in his red onesy it is a true treat (hopefully pictures coming soon)
The Dirty Pirate Hookers were out in style and force tonight. After contemplating starting a lounge act that would bring Peoria to their knees - the captain and first mate decided to part ways for the evening. Too much trouble to get into.
It was a sad farewell to Tralen, our director. He was truly the wizard and spirit behind all the magic for the show. A true visionary - now if things were only as easy on stage as they are in his mind. I promise to keep striving for the magic and perhaps get those damn confetti cannons to work!!!!
