So on Friday night Sylvie and I finally got ourselves together and went to see the Heavenly Burlesque. It was really good, I was a bit worried when they said it was pat of the comedy festival, but apparently you
can make stripping funny! It wasn’t so much burlesque as it was circus tricks, though the first act was a girl stripping behind a back lit screen, so it was all in silhouette. She went in wearing a fat suit and stripped that off after her clothes, which was entertaining. I think Sylvie said that she counted six bras coming off during her dance…The trapeze act was awesome, I wish I could do that! If I disappear one day its cos I’ve run off to Christchurch to join the circus school down there. My circus name will be cooler than Magenta Diamond though. There was a girl dressed as a dog (?) that did a really cool dance (to peaches, predictably) but the best part of that section was the film playing behind her as she danced. It was a person in a white dress dancing on a black floor, but it was filmed from the top, and looked like it was done with a really long shutter speed, but as a film (im sure you can do the equivalent of a long exposure with a video camera, cant you? Sylvie?) It was awesome.
After that we went up to the big kumara quickly to say hi to Tamsyn (I had never been to the big kumara, it wasn’t as bad as I had heard) and then shamefully decided that we
could go home at 11:30 on a Friday…
…Which actually turned out to be a good thing, as I ended up on the road to palmerston north at ten to seven on Saturday morning, where I ended up with a very small, very talkative four year old boy called Damien in my possession. He was very cute, but I don’t think he stopped talking for more than a few breaths for the whole 4 hours I was watching him. Now I know how my parents felt! Luckily he was a bright kid, and wanted me to tell him about how rainbows are made and why plants are green, and good questions that I could actually answer and not feel bad for lying to him. Im so mad though, I manage not to get sunburned all summer, and now I get sunburned at the end of may! What the hell? And so my nose is peeling a bit, most unattractively.
I cant wait for the holidays.
(PS: So So Moderns EP friendly fires is on sale at the CD store and its freaking awesome, you should buy it. also, if you are looking for something to read, the Unbearable lightness of being by Milan Kundera is beautiful. yay for czech philosophical novels!)
