Burlesque is AWESOME! I’m training with the Scoundrelles in Brisbane, a bunch of really fun and friendly folk. We got to do our first performance as a class at the RaGTaG Revue the past week. Totally go for it!

How I did it: OMG BEST THING EVER.Some friends were organising the Vagina Monologues and asked for people to participate. I jumped on board immediately - my best friend did V-Mon ages ago and it was awesome.I LOVED it. We were a cool friendly group of people supportive of each other. We had so much fun. We became good friends. love love love love love it sooooooo much. http://vimeo.com/3115368 Read how I did it…
How I did it: I wanted to be an ASM for the Burlesque Ball but didn't hear anything from anyone for a while. I emailed Jac Bowie about it and she told me that they need a Merch Girl, so I said yes.It's all right - the first night was a bit blah because there were too many people who were all crankypants about the venue, and I got yelled at just because the organisers were busy! Some guy even tried to swipe a $60 flower fascinator for $5, then made a ra… Read how I did it…
Example:
Mr X was depressed and planned to jump off a bridge. At the last minute, he changed his mind. Why?
a) He felt better
b) He got too scared
c) He got busy
d) Some other stupid reason
...how the hell does that measure ANYTHING?!
I joined Mensa (got invited on my birthday, even) because I thought there would be opportunities to get people involved in social justice and making the world a better place.
So far it just seems to be posturing over puzzles. I already play board games weekly with a cooler group of friends.
Feh!
