Comment on ‘Rocky Horror’ and the finer points of parenting by Dave Chrisman

Giggle-giggle! When Steve Austin and I saw it on a date with some Inglemoor girls at the U-District theatre, we nearly got tossed off the balcony full of IHS students when they found out we were from their rival high school.

No, no the latter. You’re quite well known out there. You and Mrs. Scatter, Martha too!

Comment on Belly-dancing on the Nile: Our far-flung correspondent hobnobs and returns by George Taylor

Welcome back, Martha.

I completely agree with your assessment of “Dream” and with the departures from Shakespeare’s words. Just one case in point: Though I love the rude mechanicals in a good stage version, I’m not sure the most lamentable comedy (and most cruel death) of Pyramus and Thisbe would translate agreeably or comprehendably into dance set to Mendelssohn’s music. Turning Bottom et all into a bartender and waiters seemed to me clever, quick, and appropriate to Stowell’s modern-day concept of the work.

My wife and I spent a good deal of time Saturday night echoing your comment that “Dream” should become an OBT staple. (Hope you’re reading this, Christopher.)

LaValle, please apologize for me to Voice from the Couch. I take it you looked at some of those photo links — irresistible for a photographer!

This morning I had three ersatz comments from the faux Chanel site, on three different posts. They’re gone now. There’s been a huge uptick lately in fake comments by cut-rate commercial trollers. Don’t know if there’s been a recent breakthrough beyond the firewall gates or if Art Scatter is drawing more attention. I suspect the former, sigh.

Mr. Scatter, Voice is mighty upset with my new travel plans. Of course they now include a trip to Detroit. How could I not go – so many images are waiting for my camera. On a different note, hopefully Chanel is a Detroit resident and has started a cottage industry.

Comment on How to not buy bras with large smelly boys by VjM Clothing

VjM Clothing — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 06:22:26 +0000

Hello All, I am currently working for VjM Clothing, a new fashion design studio. We are very interested in creating bras and lingerie for women with larger cup sizes. We are currently trying to gather as much information as possible from consumers so we can create a great product. We understand most bras for large breast sizes are uncomfortable and usually do not come in a variety of designs as smaller bra sizes. Please send any suggestions or information to info@vjmclothing.com so we can begin creating fantastic new designed bras for large cup sizes. We hope to send all participants a free bra from our product lines once they are complete!!! Thanks for time!

Comment on To the lighthouse, Mrs. Woolf (and pay as you go) by Martha Ullman West

Martha Ullman West — Sat, 06 Mar 2010 01:37:32 +0000

There is a staggeringly painful line in Virginia Woolf’s To the Lighthouse, which I read so long ago I can only paraphrase–it goes something like this: turning over in bed Mr. Ramsay discovered that Mrs. Ramsay had died.
If something isn’t done, and done fast, we will turn over in bed one morning and discover that all vestiges of the Republic and the Bill of Rights (which happens to be my creed) have died.
Bob’s rant is terrific, rage tempered with elegance.
