An extremely expensive boot camp for cabaret singers.<br /><br />And yes, when you combine "<span style="font-style: italic;">boot camp</span>" with "<span style="font-style: italic;">cabaret</span>," you surpass "<span style="font-style: italic;">gay</span>" completely. You move into an phase of gaiety that... Well, it's not even enough to call it "<span style="font-style: italic;">uber-gay</span>." It's like "<span style="font-style: italic;">gay-beta.</span>" Or "<span style="font-style: italic;">fag 2.0</span>."<br /><br />That said, the brilliantly funny Julie Halston was one of our master teachers at the symposium. You've seen Ms. Halston in movies and TV shows, but you may not know her by name. However, if you've ever seen her on stage, you'll never forget her. Charles Busch has written several roles for Julie, from "<span style="font-style: italic;">Vampire Lesbians of Sodom</span>" to their current show, "<span style="font-style: italic;">The Divine Sister</span>."<br /><br />Check out this video where Julie discusses her mother, the Mafia, and the dangers of visiting a tanning salon after a two-day cocaine bender. This woman is a comic genius.<br /><br /><object id="flashObj" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=9,0,47,0" width="486" height="412"><param name="movie" value="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1"><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF"><param name="flashVars" value="videoId=836924658001&playerID=75704709001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAEX25ttk~,qVVep19cvaVigIbLBppCxLqYc2EyBcCT&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true"><param name="base" value="http://admin.brightcove.com"><param name="seamlesstabbing" value="false"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="swLiveConnect" value="true"><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always"><embed src="http://c.brightcove.com/services/viewer/federated_f9?isVid=1" bgcolor="#FFFFFF" flashvars="videoId=836924658001&playerID=75704709001&playerKey=AQ~~,AAAAEX25ttk~,qVVep19cvaVigIbLBppCxLqYc2EyBcCT&domain=embed&dynamicStreaming=true" base="http://admin.brightcove.com" name="flashObj" seamlesstabbing="false" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" swliveconnect="true" allowscriptaccess="always" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/shockwave/download/index.cgi?P1_Prod_Version=ShockwaveFlash" width="486" height="412"></embed></object>Stephen R.http://www.blogger.com/profile/05119958421791710858noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13145005.post-5006694621598455572011-03-21T10:11:00.002-05:002011-03-21T10:17:42.440-05:00"Oh, Sammy!"<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWaqKqcV3hagDV2IK5eWv_CR-6-3rvp9tPvxghJ6Puhb-ny7Gh1MAADp4KVtT-J1SQy6p6hRvLuwVD7Oiia6wFgKyudDa5ktqG5_E7jCQhCQg57kOZxWD1EsVcI39aDs8pRO_OQ/s1600/paul_lynde_1.jpg"><img style="float:right; margin:0 0 10px 10px;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 300px; height: 340px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEioWaqKqcV3hagDV2IK5eWv_CR-6-3rvp9tPvxghJ6Puhb-ny7Gh1MAADp4KVtT-J1SQy6p6hRvLuwVD7Oiia6wFgKyudDa5ktqG5_E7jCQhCQg57kOZxWD1EsVcI39aDs8pRO_OQ/s400/paul_lynde_1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5586551195735088770" /></a>I had a pretty good callback this past Saturday.
