It wasn't exactly on stage, but Greg Jbara had some interesting skin exposure on his web cam from the dressing room last night: http://www.gregoryjbara.com/cam080305/080305-79.html (move to the pic before that - that boy has really buff arms! Too bad they're not seen in the show.)

Good point, WonderBoy. Which brings up the question -- how many here have done it? I've come close, but never quite the full monty. It wouldn't bother me, though.
I make it a policy never to expose any skin while I am working. So strictly do I adhere to this self-imposed fatwa that I am forced to wear a burqua on stage. This makes it quite difficult to emote as I am only left with my voice and my gestures to express myself. But I happen to be quite adept at gestures.

I have actually seen Guillermo perform in his beekeeper's suit. It is a sight to behold. Sure, you lose most facial expressions, but his gesturing is unparalleled. Why, I've even received one gesture in particular that I'm still trying to figure out - the complexity! But it's amazing how you can convey so much emotion with just one finger!

WOW! I didn't know so many people had been following Mr. Ugarte's Theater of the Shroud! I was amazed at the single finger gesture too. The emotional impact was like nothing I've ever experience before or since! I wish he'd do another show in the taffeta mummy costume. That was my personal favorite! But it must have been really hot under the lights.
There is absolutely no truth to the rumor that I am appearing in KLANSMAN. I did audition for and win the role of the kindly old grandfather with the gasoline dipped torch.
But things have changed. As you all know I much prefer to be a trend setter and I eschew trends once they have caught on. So now that my buttoned up bravado has become a bonafide trend I have decided to move on to the next thing.
True my strong belief against onstage nudity or the showing of skin has presented a thorny obstacle but after much thought and prayer I've overcome this problem.
I'm getting a full body tattoo. The tattoo looks like an Armani tuxedo complete with tie, french cuffs, and kummerbund. The real bonus is that I can wear it during sex, in the shower, and at the beach and always be perfectly pressed and nattily dressed.
As you can imagine, it will take some time to complete this work of art so I'm staying at a lovely spa in Buffalo for the duration. I'm soothing my pained pores with a pack of smokes and a can of Schlitz beer. The most difficult execution for the tat artist is the spider web of wrinkles around the crotch of the pants. That could take some time and a few six packs but I'm not afraid. Anything for art.
If all goes well I expect to be back on stage in the fall in the touring company of Zoot Suit, lyrics written by my cousin, the lovely and talented Lalo Guerrero. By the way my favorite song in this show is "Vamos A Bailar", a sure fire hit by any standard.

I'm interested in the special offer for the mentally ill performance artists. Can you tell me where to contact these guys?
I think the castration anciety tattoo is perfect for my current soulmate but I'd rather administer it myself. Will I be sued for copyright infringement?
"Always smile at your enemies. It will keep them on their toes"
My question is, "Chicago", Bebe, correct seat = surprise. PM me please.
"He is your friend, your partner, your defender, your dog. You are his life, his love, his leader. He will be yours, faithful and true, to the last beat of his heart. You owe it to him to be worthy of such devotion."

Guillermo, we're located in the alley behind the Twirly-Freeze that's next to next to the Wash-0-World Laundromat, right across from the second-level entrance to the Queens Midtown Tunnel.
You won't be sued provided you pay the teensy copyright licencing fee of $25.00 (plus a non-refundable handling fee of $150.00). Cash only, please.

Akbar-n-Jeff, with all due respect, I am utterly disappointed that you would lead a poor, unsuspecting would-be tatter like Guillermo to such a disgusting, filthy establishment. I myself went there several weeks ago, drawn by the "Born to Make Minimum Wage" offer. (It's my dream, okay? At least I'll admit it.) You should know how dangerous a place like this is for someone as innocent and trusting as Guillermo. There are needles all OVER the place! Biker chicks and men the size of Neptune! Who needs that?
And Guillermo, I didn't realize you were a mentally ill performance artist. My sympathies. But the good news is: my goomba neighbor Vinny will happily give you any tattoo you desire (full-body tux ROCKS!) for only ten bucks. He uses only a black ballpoint pen and a blue Sharpie, but the effect is sublime! Your ZOOT SUIT co-stars will be jealous with rage!
