I love singing. Is it wrong to want to do something impossible because I love it so much?
...went to see "gypsy" on broadway tonight. Fell in love with the musical theatre all over again. Not that I really ever fell out of love with it (though seeing the "producers" certainly had me questioning why I even bother associating with such shit.)
God, I want to perform so badly. To be the next Burnedette Peters-- someone so-- different from anyone else on Broadway but yet somehow so successful. She doesn't have the worlds most wonderful voice. She isn't the greatest actress, either. So why is she so famous? She's got- it. Charisma. And I'm starting to realize that charisma is pretty much all a person needs to be successful. Well, there is some truth to the whole needing to have talent thing... but, I think talent can be "learned." It's passion that carries a person past that.
Do I have passion? I think I do. Do I have charisma?
...I e-mailed a burlesque performer in chicago and asked her some questions about getting into the neo-burlesque scene. She actually wrote me back and she sounds really nice... she even offered to meet up for coffee and talk about things. I hope I don't scare her away. It really isn't the idea of taking off my clothes in from of an audience that freaks me out. Moreso, it's the idea of being laughed at for thinking anyone would want to see me take off my clothes, let alone pay for it. But if I could put together an act where I get to sing, wear glamourous costumes, elegantly strip and make an audience laugh all at the same time, I think I just might have died and gone to heaven. And if they pay me for it, all the better.
I wonder if I'll actually find the balls to meet with this woman. I e-mailed her back an all too long note and I'm sure soon I'll scare her away.
I'm an attention whore. I think lately i've just been depressed because I feel like no one notices me. But if I was a burlesque performer, all they'd be noticing is me. I could maybe make people happy? I could... be the tease I am without ever having to worrying that I'm "leading people on"... it would be amazingly fun. Hmm. Well... we'll see were this goes..
