My laundry is clean and I'm airing it.

So Rock of Ages is done for now. Since I'm officially unemployed again, I decided to sit down and catch up on my internetting (totally should be a verb). I went to Myspace.com and attempted to read a blog written by an actor acquaintance of mine who had seen Rock of Ages. Twice, in fact. Apparently the second time he came, he felt I was rude to him. When I emailed him to ask why I couldn't read his blog, he replied with this:

look, here's the deal. i went to see your show a second time and brought some friends. i went out of my way to say hello to you, congratulate you on the extension and introduce you to my friends, who happen to be fans of your work. when i finally got your attention, you were a complete cunt. my friends were embarassed for me. i don't know your life story, so i can't imagine what battle of the egos you imagine to be winning when you treat people like that. but i'm really not cool with it. so there you go.

Now here's what perplexes me. I was always up for getting compliments after the show. I don't know specifically what made me seem "cunt-like" to them. I wish I did so I could at least figure out how my humor/attitude/faux aloofness is misconstrued sometimes. Maybe I had just had a bad show (we had many microphone problems some of which may have been cause by the fact that mine drowned itself with kamikaze shot glass remnants). Maybe my shit was knocked over in the Beyond Borders dressing room (you try being all nice and Angelina in the hell that was our first location. They forced us to be out 5 minutes after our bow). Who knows. Maybe I was looking for someone I got tickets for but probably left already (yes...all you casting associates. The casting directors were always nice enough to stay and say hi. you friggin associates need to learn 'bout that)

Now here's the sad thing. I admired this guy. He seemed to march to his own little drummer and wasn't an Aberzombie (or fitch). I still like this guy in fact. Mostly. I emailed him once and he didn't reply. He let me know his reasoning for ignoring me though after I emailed him again. At least he's direct (although direct w/ delay)

So unfortunately for me, I won't be reading his blog anytime soon. This like totally upset my whole night and my boyfriend finally said to me 3 hours later after dinner, "Are you still dwelling on this?"
But anyway....Best of luck w/ the upcoming Another Gay Movie (which I auditioned for twice even though the role I was reading for was being played by one of the producers and one of the producer's (http://www.renncallahan.com/) is a hooker).

p.s. after this incident I complimented him on his new short hair cut when I saw him at a club. He shoulda just said "bitch, please" instead of "thanks" like he did.

It sure is difficult when someone feels slighted, and you have no knowledge nor intention of it. If this is really bothering you, why not send him a note, or flowers, with an apology and explanation? There is a world of difference between an honest apology and groveling. (I don't want anyone to think I'm suggesting you grovel).
Hugs to you, Willam.

I saw you that night -- finale night...

You bagged on some chick for having hair bangs. "Wow - that's so NOW." you told her.

I was 2 rows back and loved every cunty moment of the exchange.

I am sorry -- but real girls (especially blondes in LA) think they have the world by the balls.

They need a reality check from
a bitchy trannytainer now & then.

Kisses,
xoxo

i'm not familar with him.
i've seen him around town but he's always with my friend Bobby Trendy, who's suprisingly understated when a camera isn't on him. either way, he's got a great skill for makeup but his lips are overlined like nobody's business.

Done for now? Does that mean you'll be going to Vegas with the show?

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! For the love of all hat is whorey PLEASE name drop.

I've got nothing over here and I need something, so please give a sister a little name drop or at least a really BIG EASY CLUE as to what person yu are talking about.

I imagine if I ever saw you somewhere live and I came up to you and said "OMG! Hi, I read your blog, I love you. remember me, The Aitch?!" That you'd be all, "Whats up girly?" give me a nod and be on your way and then I'd be all like, "Yeah that's my friend, he's hella cool." to all my housewifey/mommy friends.

That's how I picture you being to the regular folk.
