I'm Going to Look Like a Cheap Whore

One of the things that made me really uncomfortable with the show I'm in, is costumes. I have to look like a cheap whore for my character. It would be fun I suppose, if I was more comfortable with my body.

The show opens in about 2 and a half weeks, and I was getting anxious to know what I would be wearing. I had ideas for what I would be comfortable wearing, and knew I would have to compromise with the director.

Today, after rehearsal, I went out to dinner/drinks with some of the cast. After a few margarritas, I figured it was time to find a costume. Lover's Lane was right across the street, so we walked over to pick some stuff out.

The store closes at 6 on Sundays. We walked in at 5:58. They were so happy to see us. I found the shorts pictured above(not my body in the picture, in case you can't tell) and a shirt with a mesh front. Yes, that's all I'll be wearing on stage. I figured if I committed to it while I was slightly drunk and my inhibitions were lowered, I would have to wear it on stage and get over it.

Well, the alcohol is worn off now, and I'm wondering what the hell I got myself into. I already told my family they aren't allowed to come to the show. I need to hit the gym hard core for the next few weeks so that I look slightly presentable.

As we were leaving the store, someone; I'm not sure who, made a comment that is completely random, but I found very funny. I'll use it to close this post. It's a play on the words to the slogan from Lover's Lane(the couple who plays together, stays together).

The cast who shops for porn together, sleeps together. It was much funnier in the parking lot, but I still think it was worth repeating. There will be no sleeping with cast members on my part though, just to be clear.
