I think Jake had a little too much wine!

The Bloomingdale's thing makes me laugh a bit because he, along with the rest of the movie cast, showed up to promote their new line of Rent-related clothing last fall. I wonder how well it sold.

The baby carrier is making me laugh so hard, although I feel kind of... intrusive for posting it.

I love how one of the captions was like: "Jake continues his rampage on Ang Lee"

The Jake photos are HYSTERICAL.

The original Rent clothing line was apparently inspired by Daphne's clothes or something. Everything that Mimi wore came from her closet. She even once said that she wore those blue pants to the movies with a sweatshirt over them.

Jake looks like he's having a great time.

Re the Bloomingdale's thing, Adam has obviously gotten a lot more pragmatic over the years.

I actually love that family picture and I'm glad you all finally get to see it.

Adam on the producers (a smidge), London and modeling (from the Outpatient article...I knew I remembered reading his thoughts somewhere):

Pascal, however, was originally against the move to Broadway. Although, in hindsight, he thinks that it made the show and the performers better, he was disillusioned by the producers' "disregard for the integrity of the show." It was reason enough for him to consider not going with Anthony Rapp, Jesse Martin and Wilson Jermaine Heredia to open the London production in May. "I don't want to work for them anymore," he says. "They're pricks but they're not evil. Therein lies the difference." Pascal, however blatantly he may dislike the producers, also realizes the nature of the business, and that, like music, it is a business. He eventually decided to accept the London show, and leaves on March 14th to start rehearsals.
"That I was dead against," he emphatically states, talking about the line of RENT-inspired clothing that was featured at Bloomingdale's. What made it okay, in Pascal's mind, was the supervising eye of Bloomingdale's Fashion Director Kal Ruttenstein, who had become something of a RENThead himself. "What I don't like is the fashion industry. I'm not a model, I don't like models, and I don't really want to be associated with the industry because it's just not who I am."
"I'm going to London because it's a good career opportunity."

He is also going to London to right a wrong. "I kind of left the New York show on a sour note." Pascal pulled out of the New York production from sheer exhaustion. "I couldn't ****ing do it anymore," he says, earnestly. But he doesn't want that to be his last memory of RENT, and so he is going for what he hopes will be "six months of excitement." "I don't think I'll ever experience what it's like for an audience to get that show ever again." He wants that feeling one more time. He also wants to be a part of delivering Jonathan Larson's message to the world again. Like understanding the producers' point of view, Pascal realizes that the show must move on, and that that includes news casts and new locations, long after he's left.

He also said that he was glad he got out when he did. He said that he got out at the last point where the show was on a high, and at the beginning of a low point for it or something.

I want to know what the original Rentheads did when the producers decided to get rid of the line. That must have been so upsetting.

"What I don't like is the fashion industry.

Hee. I never would have guessed that

Ya think, Adam?

I personally never would've guessed

Here is a page with two different articles. On the left is about Daphne returning to Rent to do the LA Production, and the right is about the Rentheads camping out. It mentions the girl who pretended to be sick:

"Martin says that there was an incident once where a girl wrote a letter about having a rare disease and needing very risky surgery. The cast came together and supported and prayed for her. She came and saw the show before her surgery and later was supposedly in a coma for two weeks. However, afterwards they discovered that the story had been fabricated.

"She kept coming to the show and standing in the corner and just looking at us all and she would never say anything after all that happened," Martin remembers. "It was just really freaky to be around. It's just weird because we like to take the time to sign autographs and be nice to people. If they have questions about the show or about the business or whatever we take the time to do that. Sometimes when this happens it kind of makes you not want to do that."

No one can accuse him of not lliving his beliefs.

Posted: 3/6/06 at 10:19pm

In that passage (from the Outpatient article), Adam sounds very... vehement? overly open? I don't know.

he was disillusioned by the producers' "disregard for the integrity of the show."

I'd be interested to hear how he felt the producers were disregarding the integrity of the show, but I'm ten years too late.

*buys Adam subscription to GQ*

Looking good is much more important to him than his hatred towards the fashion industry; he'll give in with a little nudging.

I still want to know if Roger's plaid pants came from his wardrobe since so many of the costumes came from the actors. :P

Adam needs to learn to like the fashion industry by the time someone other than me thinks "Zoolander: The Musical" is a good idea :-P (I told you guys about the dream I had about that, right?)

I still want to know if Roger's plaid pants came from his wardrobe since so many of the costumes came from the actors. :P

I'd bet money on it. Tight pants with a bizarre pattern - sounds like an Adam fashion choice to me

That's why I kept that interview...he's pretty open about everything...even his feelings on people's glorification of Larson. We don't get enough interviews from him, much less really open ones...

[orangeskittles]

Actually, Roger's pants are made from the fabric of cut-up women's coats from France.

I don't know, he seems to have worn nothing but overalls then. The black leather jacket was his, according to Anthony.

I still have never been able to get that show to play for me- about that fan.

Can you post the link, Amber?
