Dear diary, I seem to have trouble remembering how to post pictures, especially from the lj-scrapbook... and lj seems to give me trouble with the font and the spacing. The editor generally sucks.

Anyway, this picture has grown too much for my liking. Originally it was supposed to be a doodle, and then I couldn't hold myself back and now there's the

Well, I love it! I love the one open eye like a kid checking for monsters and the sumptuous color palette. Beautiful as always.

The sponge/bath thing was one of the weirdest parts of the Broadway version, so it was interesting to read your thoughts on it. My guess is they felt the symbolism wasn't coming through, because the show beat American audience on the head with the symbolism. I remember the actress basically yelling about how much she loved her sponge and feeling like they should have just had a neon sign reading, "she's really talking about sex!" Don't watch the American version, it can only bring you pain!

Thank you! I'm trying to blind people with colours and lights lately.

Oh dear, I was quite happy that they did not actually rubb it in in the play, just simply used the sponge at opportune moments. That sponge bath at the inn was kinda self-explanatory without having to say anything about it. Everyone had gathered by that time that she likes to bath and that this may mean something more. Or like when Sarah talks to Alfred in the castle bath about how the count gives her all kinds of pretty things because he likes her, and then she'd wash herself with the sponge, that was quite obviously much, uhm, nicer than the one she had in the inn. It was quite enough to make people laugh out loud. I was told in one of the dernieres, when the actors usually make jokes throughout, the actress had actually used a sponge that was extra gigantic, but that's the normal kind of hit-you-with-it fun you have during the last performance, lol.

WOW....
so wonderful! You are back once more, baby.... !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Who's Herbert? the one with long hair looks so female, but well, vampire stuff. ;)
I simply love it.

Peace!

Haha, thanks :)) The one with the long hair, that's Herbert. And yes, he looks female, but that's not a vampire thing, that's a Herbert thing. He's... flamboyant. But for all his prettyness and love of fancy bright clothes, make-up, bathing and poetry, he's very much a man x)
