How was he able to kick in jeans that tight...Impressive I guess. Now put Raul in those, throw in a BAMBOO stick, oh yeah. He puts the bang in my chitty, and oh gosh, I actually just said that. Oh, well, you've had to realize my insanity by now.

I'm off to dream of sparkly pants, I guess. Talk to you all tomorrow. Good luck with the soundtrack, those of you headed out in the morning to pick up a copy (including me, hee!). 'Night!

Good night Allie!

Raul's in such great shape right now. I couldn't help noticing that last week at Broadway on Broadway.

I could watch the "Me Ole Bamboo" number over and over and over and over and over...

I could also watch him walk around barefooted and eat ice cream from TNH over and over and over and over and over...

And the Arbiter's song in Chess... And his entrance in Taboo when he walks on stage in the basket of lemons costume... And the Green green dress number...

His work never gets old. He's constantly in the moment. He's a great improvisationalist, and he can act, sing, and dance anything.

There was just something inherently wrong from day one with the fact that he was put in a show with "bang bang" in the title. I'm sorry, it's true.

Sleep well, Allie!

Oh, Chrysanthemum, you make me happy. And your avatar. A man in eyeshadow is always (ok, usually) a good thing.

He he! I think that is my favorite picture of all time. Him wearing that eyeliner...priceless.

Reasons why we love Taboo: men in eyeliner.

That's opening night, I believe.

Reasons why we love Taboo (number two): Yellow fishnet thigh highs. When Raul walked on stage wearing that costume, my eyes nearly popped out of my head.

Oh, you know, I think my avatar is my second favorite picture of Raul. The cupcake picture where Raul is licking the cream is ABSOLUTELY my favorite picture of all time.

But then there's the two famous ones from Show People...

Chest hair and tummy action!

The eye-popping, I assume, was only natural in person. I'm sure Donnie didn't look as good in that. heh.

THAT is my all-time favorite Raul picture, theatrekook. I think the moment I saw that one was the first time I ever found him attractive. It was like the third photo I ever saw of him.

It's the desktop background on my computer!

when he saw the stick that someone else (beca? - i'm awful with names - i apologize!) brought him to sign at the photo booth he laughed and asked, "where'd you get that?" or something like that and then proceeded to dance with it and i think show her something on his hand that was from the stick and tell her how it can break. i'm sure he'd be even more shocked if you showed up with it at the theatre and would, therefore, have an even bigger reaction. i would love to see that! definately do it.

That was me!!!! It was so funny, I was going to lean it on the table and he goes to me, "You bought a pole?" and then danced with it! I wish I had caught that on video! I'd never leave the computer screen.

I'm sure Donnie didn't look at good in that.

Not that I have anything against Donnie, 'cuz he's a great guy, but no. He didn't. The second time I brought my friend to Taboo, Raúl was out and Donnie came out in the lemon outfit and it just......wasn't the same.

Brittany!! Your picture if FANTASTIC.

Will you come with me and bring your bamboo stick to the stage door?!

I wish I could've taken pictures of you two while he was playing with your pole. But I was too dazed and busy staring to turn the camera on and bring it up to eye level. I was like "oooh, daaaaancing.... ooooh."

That's a great background picture to have!

Gosh, I can't even remember the first picture I saw of him. Actually, I do remember. It was his Emcee poster for Cabaret. I remember reading his name and going "HUH?" I thought it was fake! I thought it was a made up stage name. It was just to good of a name to be his birth name. I'm sorry, but with a name like "Raúl Esparza", how can you not be an actor?!

AND WEAR THEM!

But then the people at the table won't be lying when they tell me "RAUL ESPARZA SWEATED ON THIS!!" I wonder if they told that to everybody. Either that or they saw me gazing lustfully at the bamboo photo -- because I hadn't said a thing yet!

And then, we too, shall look like gay clowns.

I love it! They saw you coming a mile away!

I bet you anything they weren't lying though. I mean, think about the odds. It's damn near impossible for them to have the same pole every night. And you do some sort of math equation (not exactly sure which one) using the number of poles there are compared to the number of rehearsals and performances they have had in total. Voila! You can figure that the chances of him actuallly sweating on it are quite high. Who knows, it might have even been one he used. And then you could say it went between his crotch.

It's time for this. I'm in a silly mood.






I wonder what the reaction would've been if the average passer-by heard Rob Sella/parents of the kids going "THIS POLE WAS IN RAUL ESPARZA'S CROTCH!!" as opposed to saying he sweated on stuff. Oh, good God.
