The Life

Last Friday, Angel and I went to see Willam's theater production of "The Life."

You can buy tickets at

and see it "Every week Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday from Sat., December 6 until Sun., December 21, 8:00pm" Los Angeles The Life@Stella Adler Theatre - Events - LA Weekly

It was so cool and Willam was fabulous.
Willam's role is HILARIOUS and I can't think of anyone who could do it better.
I was so proud of him and glad to see him.
Especially in a role like that portraying hookers.

You can find out more about the play and the ideas contained therein if it interests you HERE, HERE, and HERE.

There were quite a few amazingly true portions of the production where I had to sit back and say, "Holy shit." and "What am I doing?"
Thanks to Angel for making the arrangements to go, thanks to Willam's generosity and special thanks to the cast and characters of the 1980's tale for an amazing night of entertainment.
I applaud them all and one extra loud clap for Willam. (Speaking of "Clap" here's Perez Hilton's music video called, "The Clap.")

I think that most people think I probably should have identified with the character of Memphis, but that's only from a quick, unknowing, superficial look from the outside.
I think in my own head, I identified with the Sonja character the most. We can go over that over coffee one day if it interests you. *wink*

It's a musical, of course, my A.D.D. ass was nervous about being able to sit still, but that was the least of my worries.
By the end of the stage time, my head was more fucked up then when I went in. ....and it was a beautiful thing I assure you.

  • The song, "MY BODY" was amazing and something any escort, man or woman, would want to sing out loud even if it was in their heart.
  • The song "A LOVELY DAY TO BE OUT OF JAIL" might have burst a blood vessel in my own heart.
  • The song "EASY MONEY" was quite a reality check too, but not as much as "USE WHAT YOU GOT" serves as quite the stance of reality.
  • There is even a song called. "HOOKER'S BALL" How fierce is that being as the HustlaBall events are part of what I do? FIERCE!
