The director for this summer's opera has requested, via the super-captain (can't stop picturing him in a cape and tights every time I type that), for a facial photo, a full body photo and a one paragraph artistic bio. I have plenty of photos since I always take a pre-opera fashion shot on my way out the door, so that was no big deal. I guess they want to make sure I have the curvy look they're looking for.
Artistic bio - I write for work. I write this blog. So naturally my mind went blank when asked to write an artistic bio. Write? I can't write. All I could think was, Um... I was a baton twirler... (yes that's me at age 5 or 6) and I wore a sequined leotard... (yes, that's me at age 14 or so, sporting the Little Orphan Annie look) I even twirled the fire-baton a few times... (yes that's me with a look of sheer terror on my face) so I have experience wearing less than the audience... But I came up with a few more appropriate lines about my prior supering experience, voice lessons, radio comedy shows and so on. And yes, I did mention the baton twirling. Left out the part about the leotards though. Do you think I should have mentioned it? Maybe I should have sent those photos...
Either way, I have a feeling I'll get the part...

Of course you should have mentioned the leotard! He's a super captain - he is an expert on leotards/spandex.
Everyone knows that Seraglio REALLY needs a baton twirler!

No more feelings for me. They're often wrong. Such as in this case. :(
