ooo..why haven't I gotten to know José before now? :)

José my dear...

If you were a Tim Burton cinematic character, which one would you be?

Need a drink, yet? Or has that been helping you get through this?!

I think beacs is going to freak if you don't answer her questions!

Daydreamer:

If you were an automobile, what automobile would you be and why?

If you could have anyone over for dinner (more casual than an interview), who would it be and what would you serve them?


I would be a BMW Z Roadster so that I could get into any nook and cranny, and so that I could travel with the wind blowing through my hair and the cd blasting my favorite tunes.

If I could through a small dinner party and invite anyone of my choosing....I'd invite Vanessa Redgrave, Jeanne Moreau and Ralph Finnes, and Charles would be there too. Here's the menu:

Seafood soup with a Stone Crab Claw (just a cup)

Porcini Ravioli drizzled with truffle oil (3 ravioli)

Rack of lamb with pommes dauphinois and haricots vert

Arugula with thinly sliced onions and shaved Parmesan, all drizzled with virgin olive oil

Creme Bruleé (I used to make these at Le Cirque, but that's another story)

Coffee and/or Tea

Cigars and Port

1. What is your favorite sandwich filling?
2. What will be your epitaph?
3. What would we be surprised to know about someone in your
family tree?
4. Favorite boy's name? Favorite girl's name?
5. What did you want to be when you grew up?
6. If you could address Congress about any topic, what would it be?
7. Where do you go for spiritual refreshment?
8. Is there a frightened Broadway star lurking around BWW and
searching for posts by beacon1? :o)
9. What was your favorite make-out place in high school?
10. If you could have any Broadway star (living or dead) croon you a tune,who would it be and what would they sing?


[For this set I definitely need a drink.]

1. Plain ole tuna fish with lots of ground black pepper and mayonaise (and NO celery).

2. "Good taste is the excuse he always gave for leading such a bad life."

3. My parents married and divorced each other twice.

4. Charles. Sandra.

5. A movie director. My family insisted I would never earn a living.

6. The need to significantly increase the wages of law enforcement personnel and elementary and high shcool teachers. I would also not go so easily and insist that we worked together to find ways to feed the hungry and that we provide healthcare for all citizen. And then I wouldn't leave until the U.S. Government changed its tax laws to allow domestic partners of any sexual pursuation equality with married couples unter the IRS regulations.

7. My local Roman Catholic church.

8. Yes, and he has been warned by many to be on the look-out, so I'm told.

9. The Bridal Path along the boulevard. This was a double row of coconut palms that graced a riding path opposite the northern side of the island on which I was born.


10. Extremely tough for me to answer this one, I have so many, many favorites.

This is so queer but I'd have to say:
Merman singing "There's No Business Like Show Business" and Streisand singing "The Music That Makes Me Dance"
Jolson singing "Rockabye Your Baby With A Dixie Melody"

[Beacon, you're a tough little Mama.]

What superhero did you imitate as a child?
And who is your favorite Dickens character?


Well, I settled for Superman after my mother nearly had a stroke when she discovered my sister and I posed on the ledge of our second story porch, and that I had tied a towel around my sister's shoulders, and I had convinced my sister that she and I could jump off and fly just like Peter Pan and Wendy.

Mamie:
We are each the architects of our own heaven. What's yours going to be like when you get there?


Well, I like to think I'd find my cabin in the sky, but I honestly suspect I'll be shoveling coal somewhere. If I did make it to heaven mine would be filled with family and friends who predeceased me. However I am never at peace without Charles, so even heaven would be hell without him.

Jose - I just wanted to pop in to congratulate you - our Quizmaster - on your special day of recognition. I hope that you've had a terrific day!

If you were a Tim Burton cinematic character, which one would you be?

Easy. Edward Scissorhands so that I could cut my own hair. I really dislike going to the barbershop and listening to all the nonsense conversastion. Even worse is a barber who wants to talk to you while he cuts my hair when all I want to do is sleep. Being Edward Scissorhands would completely eliminate the need for me to go the barber and I would love it!

Dame:
QUIEN ES CHARLES?


You haven't been reading along.

Posted: 3/6/06 at 11:26pm

A warm "thank you" to those of you who stopped by (and an extra kiss for not leaving a question):

bdwaygirl - your coming to dinner one night! No, ifs, ands or buts

PalJoey - your passion makes you even more attractive

Liotte - your energy and enthusiasm are infectious

CostumeMistress - your crazy humor makes me smile

Grovers Corner Yenta - your madcap sensibilities are a joy

Bongo - your drum beat makes me want to give you a personal little dance every time

Peach - your Gene Kelly icon lifts my heart whenever I see it

Iflit - your generosity of spririt and openness is always to be emulated by the rest of us

Miss Pennywise - your good common sense is something to cherish

Glebb - your joy makes any dark day sunny (we'll be in Chicago in August)

and

Chita. I didn't answer your question. Does my boyfriend know about Charles? Well even after 30 years Charles is still my boyfiend and my lover and my best friend and my inspriation and my personal joy, and he is so nice he even let me stay up to answer these questions.

[Phantom2]

"and he is so nice he even let me stay up to answer these questions."

Go get your beauty sleep, you big sissy.

Posted: 3/7/06 at 12:16am

P2, you get an extra kiss cause I know it'll make you smile.



Mamie:


4. If you could go back for one day to any moment in time, where would you go and what would you do when you got there?

5. How did you happen to come to BWW and what made you stay? (I hope the 'retirement' talk is just that - talk!)


[Mamie, I somehow overlooked these. Ooops!]

4. Any moment in time...well I'd go back to Paris, my first visit in October 1976, and I wouldn't do anything differently.

5. I happened upon this website the first week or so of its existence. After a while I became friendly with Rob Diamond who asked me initially to maintain the upcoming cd list and that gradually morphed into other things. I stayed over the few years since then because I felt I was helping Rob with his endeavor, I had also made a number of acquaintances who where fun to be around and, more importantly, some very special friends are always a pleasure and a joy.

Posted: 3/7/06 at 12:19am

I'm calling Charles!

Posted: 3/7/06 at 12:20am

Catching up...

Most definitely Nicholas Nickleby.

Thank you, too, to

Junglered - your screen name always makes me smile in anticipation

Phantom2 - your icons are either delectable or depraved and that's what makes you a charmer

I was thinking about commenting on that as well. Nice work.

And an example of the acerbic sense of humor that is so great about Jose'.

I will see you at INTO THE WOODS then. It is a must.

[Mamie]

Posted: 3/7/06 at 2:34am

Thank you for your answers, Jose. And thank you for being such a warm, generous member of this community!

I hope you were able to enjoy the little bit of your special day that you could last night. Here's a little bit of spring (which I do believe is right around the corner) in the form of a sprig of peach blossoms. I hope it helps to make the rest of the day sunny and bright for you!

An early morning "thank you" to

Addy - your passion for pink is positively pervasive

Amasis - your icon(s) and screen name have always intrigued me


Smarty, thank you, again, and I will look forward to it.

Mamie, the flowers are beautiful. I wish I could take them and put them in a vase on my desk this morning.
