This isn't the monologue I'm doing, but I like it!
MY SHORT SKIRT
(read by 3 different women)
"My short skirt
is not an invitation
a provocation
an indication
that I want it
or give it
or that I hook."
"My short skirt
is not begging for it
it does not want you
to rip it off me
or pull it down."
"My short skirt
is not a legal reason
for raping me
although it has been before
it will not hold up
in the new court."
"My short skirt, believe it or not
has nothing to do with you."
"My short skirt
is about discovering
the power of my lower calves
about cool autumn air traveling
up my inner thighs
about allowing everything I see
or pass or feel to live inside."
"My short skirt is not proof
that I am stupid
or undecided
or a malleable little girl."
"My short skirt is my defiance
I will not let you make me afraid
My short skirt is not showing off
this is who I am
before you made me cover it
or tone it down.
Get used to it."
"My short skirt is happiness
I can feel myself on the ground.
I am here. I am hot."
"My short skirt is a liberation
flag in the women’s army
I declare these streets, any streets
my vagina’s country."
"My short skirt
is turquoise water"
"with swimming colored fish"
"a summer festival"
"in the starry dark"
"a bird calling"
"a train arriving in a foreign town"
"my short skirt is a wild spin"
"a full breath"
"a tango dip"
"my short skirt is
initiation"
"appreciation"
"excitation."
"But mainly my short skirt
and everything under it
is Mine."
"Mine."
"Mine."
Doncha just love that! And that is NOTHING compared to the rest of these monologues. They're moving daughters-a'-bitches! So, yes, I did get a part. Well, several parts. But my main things are, "My Vagina Workshop" (its like 5 pgs and done with a British accent, about a woman who goes to vagina therapy and *discovers* herself... yes... yes, it IS what you're thinking), a series of different (and hilarious) moans at the end of "The Woman Who Loved to Make Vaginas Happy," and I read a pretty large section of "I Was There," written from the playwright Eve Ensler's own experience watching her daughter-in-law give birth. And DAMN, it is a GREAT poem that describes EVERYTHING. I think everyone should try and see some showing of the Vagina Monologues some time in their life. It's beautiful. And believe me, you have absolutely NOTHING to fear!!!!!
Funniest thing I think, is my mother's advice the day of auditions: "Break a vagina! Oops, I mean leg!" Even SHE's gonna see this show haha.
Can't wait for this weekend. Gonna see CHICAGO!! (yea yea again), with Nany and her bf, Marc and his gf, The Babe, Dee, Jen, and ummm I'm missing someone... Oh, yeah, and Shane. Lol. Who is apparently getting a tattoo.
Chorus concert tonight! I love it but I will admit I'm kinda excited to get it over with lol.
