C'mon...not fair to leave us hanging like this.
It's like that joke...How do you keep a moron in suspense?....
I'll tell you tomorrow.

My, Possums, but this is a very personal thread...hmmmmmmm....

Why, etoile...you little devil you!

Yes. As a matter of fact, I did. Last night, I was honored to take part in Ensemble Studio Theatre's anti-Bush theatre festival, 'Who's Country is it, Anyway?' This is a nine-night short play festival by a myriad of artists concerned with the direction our Commander-in-Chief is leading the country.

Last night, I was honored to play First Lady Laura Bush in a reading on the now infamous scene from Tony Kushner's ONLY WE WHO GUARD THE SECRET SHALL BE UNHAPPY. No...I wasn't in full drag. Just dressed in black with pearls. It was very I AM MY OWN BUSH.

The scene is startling and gorgeously written. It is truly humbling to be able to stand on a stage and speak such brilliant words...especially if it's for a cause in which I fiercely believe.

I'm not a huge fan of the protest march. That many people makes me uneasy. So this was a wonderful opportunity to declare publicly my opposition to this administration. I strongly suggest to everyone here, no matter what side of the aisle you are on, to use your talents to give voice to your beliefs. It's an overwhelmingly powerful experience.

But Robbie, did you kill anyone behind the wheel of your car?

Congratulations! If only you could do this on the convention platform tonight with the real Ms. Bush in the audience.

Robbie, pumpkin, how dare you not announce this ahead of time and invite your BWW family. I am very upset. Congratulations anyway.

My friends wanted me to do it for 24 hours straight, in full drag on that big billboard right on 8th Avenue.

I don't think the Secret Service would welcome me, though.

How about the sidewalk in front of Planet Hollywood?

Proud of you, honey.

Actually, there is a reason I didn't announce it on the board. The only way we were given permission to perform it was if we didn't actually do any advertising for it. It was very, very kind of Mr. Kushner to let us perform it during the same time that it's being performed by some Oscar-winner named Holly Hunter. So, it all had to be a little hush-hush.

And it's funny you should mention Planet Hollywood. I walked by yesterday on my way to EST and saw a new Marilyn standing in front, enticing passers-by to come on in and try their Cap'n Crunch-covered chicken fingers. I had to resist the urge to scream, 'You ain't no LaBlanche!'

Shut UP! Atta Girl!

Robbie truly defines the art of informed and organic acting, honest to goodness it's a thrill to watch him perform.
