Do you rotate when you wear it?

I see the read-through as symbolic of his realization of his complete disconnect with everyone around him. He feels isolated and alone in his experience of his life - but his reaction is to still feel an amount of disdain for everyone else - as if THEY are the ones missing something. Audrey is the only one he somewhat allows in - but that leads to a realization of how much he has screwed that up.

With that in mind, I will have to watch the movie tonight.

If I manage to lose 20 pounds before the party, I'm wearing one of those unitards the ladies wear at the end, with all the blood vessels...

Boobs as Flood!

I am coming in the "circulation" outfit. Seeing I've lost a few pound and all, I'm feeling confident...

We can serve cigarettes and bad cocktails.

ETA: Again ^^, I'm typing as others are! My refresh must be slow! Seeing the circulation outfit is taken, I am coming as Michelle - black leotard, ballet slippers, pink tights and my yellow raincoat. I won't even need to go shopping!

So, do you think I could be?
Could be what?
You know, a movie star?
No.

You skinny young things are depressing me



Inside me lives a skinny woman crying to get out. But I can usually shut her up with cookies.

No, nothing I ever do is good enough. Not beautiful enough, it's not funny enough, it's not deep enough, it's not anything enough. Now, when I see a rose, that's perfect. I mean, that's perfect. I want to look up to God and say, "How the hell did you do that? And why the hell can't I do that?"

Once, back in 1979, when I was still working in the theater, we were rehearsing at the dirty old rehearsal studio at 56th and 8th (I forget the name). I went to the bathroom and was standing at one of the two urinals when a man walked in smoking a cigarette and stood at the urinal next to me. He started peeing, with the cigarette dangling from his lips, which I thought was kind of annoying.

I was about to say something when I looked over and realized it was Bob Fosse. The next few moments are kind of a blur to me.

I wish I could remember the name of the studio. I'm sure it's the one the studio in All That Jazz was based on. There were newer, cleaner studios at the time at Minskoff and the Michael Bennett space, but Fosse probably liked it because it was old and dirty. Whatever show I was working on at the time used it because it was cheap.

For those asking about Erzsebet Foldi, apparently this same discussion came up on another site a couple of years ago. This was posted:

"The one thing I know about Erzsebet Foldi is that she went on to dance in the 1980s with the American Ballet Theatre (during the period that Mikhail Baryshnikov was artistic director), and then was a member of Twyla Tharp's company. Don't know what she's been up to since. The public portion of a career in dance is often pretty short due to all the physical wear and tear, but dancers often stay in the game by coming choreographers or teachers.

If anyone wants to try to get an inquiry to Erzsebet as to what she's been up to: Twyla Tharp's website has a directory of everyone who's ever danced in her company. They don't provide direct email addresses to the alumni of the troupe, but they will forward messages through their office when possible.

Go to http://www.twylatharp.org/ttd3.shtml and click on the link for 1980-1988. This will lead you to a list of all the dancers who joined the company during that period. A click on Foldi's name will open an email message with her name in the subject line. Send it off to the Tharp office and they will try to forward it. Don't know how reliable this is, but it might be worth a try if you're Desperately Seeking Erzsebet."

I also saw an archived review of the Twyla Tharp Dance at the Brooklyn Academy of Music in February '87 that specifically mentioned Ms. Foldi's performance in the company.

She was mentioned again in a review of a piece performed by The Second Avenue Dance Company which consisted of dance majors in their final year at the Tisch School of the Arts of New York University. This was in April, '89.
