TMI Tuesday: Gone Hollywood

Gone Hollywood


1. If a screenwriter turned you into a character in a movie,
a. What stock Hollywood character would it be most like? For example: best friend, ditzy blonde, absent-minded professor, captain of industry, etc.
b. What actor/actress would play you?
What, stock? Run to a type?  Me??
I'm not sure that I could be pigeonholed that way...

But by all means let's make me a sexy, gorgeous thing...

"I'm not bad.  I'm just drawn that way..."

2. What genre of movie is your life most like? For example: romantic comedy, goofball comedy, spy, coming of age, action/adventure, sci-fi, etc
Oh, by all means a comedy!  Certainly not romantic... perhaps a bit goofball... definitely some action/adventure thrown in :)

3. What kind of scene in a movie would you like to play most? Why?
a. Argument
b. Love scene
c. Gun fight
d. High-speed car chase
An argument.  IRL I can’t argue my way out of a paper bag but give me a scripted scenario and I RULE… in fact, in most of my theatre productions I’ve been typecast as an intense, in-your-face character which is just hysterical considering how I am IRL, but there you go.

 note the abject fear... muhahahaha...

4. Have you ever looked around you and thought “this is like a scene from a movie”? What were the circumstances?
Oh, all the time...!
Because we all know that if you hang around me, there's rarely a dull moment! ;)

5. Have you ever looked at a character in a movie and said, “Hey, that could be me”? Who/what was the character?
Nope, sorry... can't say I've ever had that revelation...

Bonus: Have you ever been in pictures–Hollywood film, porno, homemade video, or other type of film? Tell us about it. …and is it on YouTube?
Yes… in the mid-80s several of us got together to film “Rambo’s Bad Day”… I appeared as a ditzy Neon Girl.  I have it about on DVD somewhere, it would be hysterical if it ever showed up on YouTube!!

I have been on YouTube as a result of various productions I’ve been in… several are still up.  I’d tell you where they are but then I’d have to kill you hahaha (no, really, I can’t, they’re tagged with my real name ~ but trust me, they’re AWESOME!!).

*~*~*~*~*~
Perhaps my most inspired performance (and with coincidently the largest audience) was a few months after Bis and I had separated (my first husband ~ background on that here and here for those who have not followed me since the beginning).  A group of us all went down to a science fiction convention in South Carolina that was quite popular in its day, usually attended by several hundred people from all over the country.  One of the events was a talent show, and I got a very evil idea... I went up on stage in skimpy lingerie and and acted like a *complete* airhead.  My 'talent' was to sing the alphabet song (and use sign language at the same time) and I made myself struggle to remember letters, etc.  In the midst of my performance I could hear a collective gasp go up from a section of the audience and a familiar voice shout, "OmiGod! She's doing K---- (name of the bimbo Bis left me for)!!!!!!!"


I apparently nailed the character of that vapid little bitch, to the roaring approval of my friends, and won an award for my convincing performance.  It was cathartic as hell and helped more than any therapy ever could. :)
