Thee-Ah-Tah.
Just returned from an evening at the thee-ah-tah, where I saw Steel Magnolias. We have a subscription, so we get the season’s tickets mailed way in advance. Came home from work, gobbled down a quick dinner, grabbed the tickets and headed out the door absolutely convinced we were on our way to see “Kiss Me Kate,” a Cole Porter musical. Only when entering the thee-ah-tah did we realize that “Kiss Me Kate” is the next play of the season.
“Steel Magnolias” was good, but I was ready for a musical. I suppose I have made worse mistakes. It ain’t easy being a patron of the arts.
Uh, hellooo: A buncha Southern wimmens “…weather every event in their lives en masse with grace, determination, and perfectly coifed hair.†How could you love that?
On a somewhat hair-related musical note, one of my photographers is a towering, brobdingnagian, very shiny-headed bald dude who, every time I call his cell, an automated lady’s voice comes on saying, “Please enjoy the music while your party is reached,†followed by the refrains of the song “Hair.â€
I suppose if one is not blessed with cranial hirsuteness, making up for it with a sense of humor must be the next best thing.

S.F.D.P.H!! I meant, “How could you NOT love that?” (My cue to go to bed)

The only part of the flick I liked was the dude shooting the birds and causing that damn dawg to lose his hair..now I am wondering how much noise the .357 made on stage and if they had to change dawgs to show it lost that hair..

The gunshots were offstage, and Ouiser, the dog owner, came running into the shop covered with clumps of dog hair. Pretty funny.
