2:02 a.m. - 2001-07-26 Anyway. Tonight was our press night and official dress rehearsal. Lots of things went better than last night, except Donkey didn't seem to make any of his entrances. He was late for "Peron's Latest Flame" because of his costume. He was late for "A New Argentina" because Tommy moved his flag. And he still looks like a newspaper vendor. But that's okay. :) Some other things worked better tonight though. I think, overall, it will go quite smoothly for opening night. I don't feel entirely ready, but I think once tomorrow night gets here, I'll be okay. Man, the makeup thing is killing me though. I felt like an absolute whore tonight. I mean, I know stage makeup is different, but goodness, I have NEVER worn that much makeup. About all I ever wear is foundation around my eyes and on my mouth (makes my lipstick go on easier), shimmer powder, lipliner and lipstick, a neutral eyeshadow, and eyeliner. Tonight, I had on green concealer on my cheeks and nose to cancel the red, yellow concealer around my eyes to cancel the shadows, heavy foundation over my entire face, powder, LOTS of blush, lipliner and two shades of lipstick, dark eyeshadow, and enough eyeliner and mascara to put Cleopatra to shame. I've been darkening my hair with that rinse and putting it up in a bun for the show, and each night before I get dressed I put on black hose, my character shoes and my black body briefer, which is made like a dress. And tonight, I realized, I look EXACTLY like one of those women in those Robert Palmer videos. LOL And you know what... there are some men who can wear stage makeup and look like a complete goofball in it. Then there are the men who look really, inexplicably hot in it. I don't understand this. Maybe it's just my attraction to gay men talking. But neither of the men I am thinking of (Kenny and Donkey) are gay. I think. I hope... :) Anyway, after dress rehearsal Ed called a brief work call, and then Angie and Kenny and Donkey and I went to get food at Taco Bell/Wendy's. Donkey rode with me, so I had to take him back to his car at ACC. We sat for a little while and talked, and then he went to return a movie and buy cigarettes. I was halfway across the bridge when I realized he had left his backpack in my car. I hope there's nothing of earth-shaking importance in there, because he's not getting it back till I wake up tomorrow. LOL If he needs it, my number is posted on ACC's wall, he can call me. :) I have to go to bed now, people... I have to clean my car out tomorrow. Dad is coming in, and hopefully I will get my new car tomorrow. *prays* BTW. Tiff, good luck, honey. I hope you get this job. :) I'm off to bed. Opening night tomorrow! Love, Hol
