Faux-Asian Done Right!

Charlie L., a Supernumerary buddy of mine, was recently involved with a production, over at San Francisco Symphony, of a little-known opera by Stravinsky, "Le Rossignol" (which translates to "The Nightingale").

Suprisingly, it's totally Faux-Asian. Here's what talented makeup/costuming pros can do. Screw political correctness! Photos by Charlie L. :-)

I'm feeling that I made the right decision to not work the LucasFilm party. Interestingly, a friend was ill over the weekend and I was able to do a favor for him on Saturday night that made me feel like I had trusted my instincts well.

Whoah! Did Madame Glinka go out without my noticing???

So I sunk into RE:ality TV this weekend instead. Another friend is taping "Project Runway" for me, which I feel is one of the best shows out there. Love it, love it, love it!


Over on "Survivor," it was cool that Danni won-- I was so over Steph, as I know others were too. I dug Rafe, a really cool Gay Guy... loved that his sexuality was just no big deal, this is where RE:ality TV can break down barriers.


In other compelling blog newz: Me and Chr. took Fag Field Trip #53 to Yuppie Union St. yesterday, as there was a home furnishings store, Z Gallery, that I wanted to check out.

I didn't see much I was interested in. Instead we saw many, many ceramic Faeire Christmas ornaments and many, many, MANY oversized Buddha heads.

There was a big, pink, faux-fur beanbag that I liked, but Chr. had to remind me of my new desire to try and be BUTCH for a change, at least in the home furnishings department...
