| New LJ Name! |
[Apr. 12th, 2007|08:04 pm] |
Hello everyone,
Yeah, it's been a bit since I updated but I will start doing more of that. I miss you guys!
Anyway, I have a new LJ name that I'm going to be using from now on. I'd get a name change but it's $25 and frankly, that's money I don't have. So please, please, please remember to friend me! Thanks! |

| Angry dyke with angry insides |

I got my period yesterday- it's a week early; last month it was 3 weeks late. I had bad cramps last month, worse than usual but I dealt with it.
This morning, I got up for work at 4:30am and went to work. Then went to work and at 5:15am had to change my SUPER DUPER HEAVY DUTY-might-as-well-have-been-a-roll-of-paper-towels-tampon, wtf, it had been all of 45 minutes! At 5:30am I was having cramps so bad I was doubled over in pain, my legs were weak, I was nauseous, and had the chills. At 5:45am I was hysterically crying and my manager was calling around to see if anyone could cover my shift. I went home at 6:45am, called the doctor right away and got an urgent care appointment.
She put me on the pill. THE PILL. I'm a gold star lesbian; the last thing I thought I'd have to be on was The Pill. I'm pissed about it but she says it's going to, "lessen my flow" and the cramps, plus make me "regular." And I need to keep telling myself that. But GOD DAMN that sucks. Not to mention it's an extra $20 a month for the co-pay. Hey, as long as it doesn't feel like a hungry Doberman Pincher is gnawing on my insides, I'll be happy.
I tried to deal with the fact that I'd be taking not only be taking a new pill everyday but The Pill. Then I get it and it's pink. And the case? Pink. And not just like kind of pink or pink-ish. Capital P-I-N-K, PINK.
Seriously people, WHAT THE FUCK?! Is it really necessary? They couldn't be a neutral color? Yellow, green, any color other than fucking pink?! It's not bad enough I'm a Capital-"D"-Dyke that has to take The Pill but they're making me choke down a pink one with a matching pink case? They might as well have put little hearts on them too, or better yet, glitter. Maybe a little recipe on each individual pill so I could make a quick and easy one-pan casserole before I take it.
Just for kicks, I looked it up and uh-huh Viagra just happens to be blue: 
So guys, you can still feel masculine and macho even though you can't get your limp dick up. |

Yay, there's yummy food at the house. Today, after work, I made:
-Veggie Matzo ball soup
-Roasties
-Honey cornbread muffins
I'm about to dive into that soup in just a second. I love me my matzo balls. |

Is a 5 hour "nap" still considered a "nap," and not a full-blown sleep? I suppose it doesn't matter but boy, am I feeling refreshed! |

TEA & STRUMPETS
an all-star burlesque show and cakewalk
Saturday, March 24, 2007 * 2:30 to 5 p.m.
Milky Way Lounge and Lanes, 403 Centre St., Jamaica Plain, MA
Tickets: $12/adv., $15/door (plus bring folding money for tips and the
cakewalk)
Advance tickets available online only at http://www.bigmoves.org
Burlesque and baked goods: two great tastes that come together at last at Tea
& Strumpets, an all-star matinee of some of Boston’s top names in burlesque
and drag, including dancers from the Boston Babydolls, Black Cat Burlesque,
Babes in Boinkland, and TraniWreck, complete with each troupe’s distinctive
emcee. Of course, Big Moves’ own troupe, Thick, will be there, with some
fresh plus-size stylings, and holding this bag of divas and queens together
is the eminently capable, take-no-crap specialist, Big Moves emcee Alicia
Greene.
In between scintillating sets, audience members also get a crack at some great
cakes in an old-fashioned cakewalk raffle, with items donated by Boston-area
bakeries and confectioners. All proceeds from this show are helping Big Moves
take its revival of Gargantua to the Montreal Fringe Fest in June. |

Thick, Big Moves' burlesque troupe made the Boston Pheonix! It's a huge article that we're a part of.
Check it out!
They also have a small slideshow of photos from Heavy Metal Holidays while we were performing "Spit," and"Fat Bottomed Girls." http://www.thephoenix.com/Slideshows/thick/default.asp
We just started doing burlesque a few months ago so we're not nearly as estabilshed (or well dressed) as some of the troupes, but it was still really neat to be recognized as a burlesque troupe in Boston. Also, all the troupes mentioned in the article performed at The Great Boston Burlesque Expo this weekend.
Weeee! |

I'm alive!
Some people have been a bit concerned as to where I've been and if I was okay and I can assure everyone that I'm doing well.
I'm still living in the same apartment with two lovely roommates (they're a couple.) It was basically a blank canvas when Amy moved out and I've made it my own- my home.
I have done more dumpster diving than ever before and have furnished the house with other people's throw-aways. I've even learned how to refinish a table in the process! I think some people who live near me shit gold nuggets because I got a chest of draws that is amazing! I was worried I'd have a bunch of milk crate furniture but through some fierce dumpster diving and a several trips to Ikea, it looks pretty good! I'm couchless but that's alright, I rarely watch TV anyway.
That's what's happening on the house front, on the dance front things are going really well. Big Moves has started up a burlesque troupe that I'm not a part of. We're performing at the Burlesque Expo in Boston tomorrow and we even performed at the Middle East in Boston. We also have a sweet article in next week's Pheonix! It's taking off and it's all very exciting. And the costumes? Fabulous!
I'm still dancing with Filling The Stage too. This season I was asked to sing "All that Flab," a parody of "All that Jazz." That's certainly turning out to be a hot little number.
On the love front:
I'm still with Mylène (my tarty French Canadian femme princess,) and things with her are great. I'm in love and feel like a prepubescent boy when I'm around her- giddy, silly, and so happy. We celebrated Christmas together and since then we've had several long visits together both in Montreal and here. She left a few days ago but we celebrated our first Valentine's Day together. She made me the most delicious white chocolate/pistachio oatmeal cookies among other things.
Here's one of our favorite pictures we took over the holidays:

When I'm sitting in the living room I can see my breath in the air. I know I should turn on the heat but with no one else in the house I don't see why I should. |

GARGANTUA: Fear of a Fat Planet
Continuing in its award-winning tradition of producing plus-size performers in super-size shows, Big Moves presents GARGANTUA: Fear of a Fat Planet. One part dance musical, one part "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", with a blast of B-movie kitsch and some kick-ass liberation politics to boot, GARGANTUA is a campy extravaganza with more booty, more food fights, and more heart than any other musical, ever. Like other Big Moves shows, GARGANTUA showcases plus-sized performers doing dance, song, and spoken word that'll knock your socks off. Unlike previous shows, GARGANTUA is a full-fledged musical, with an original script, fat chicks on rollerskates, and an outrageous military plot that could tear the galaxy apart.
Hey, parents! GARGANTUA is a PG-13 show! We're offering special youth discounts at every show on our tour, so bring your kids and let them see a vision of size acceptance that is revolutionary and fun.
Here are the stops on our Gargantua tour:
October 20-21 Boston (Theater at UU Church, 66 Marlborough St. in Back Bay)
October 27 Lowell (119 Gallery, 119 Chelmsford)
October 28 Northampton (Carroll Room, Campus Center, Smith College)
November 3-4 New York City (Interborough Rep. Theater, 154 Christopher St.
in Manhattan)
General admission tickets for each show are $15/adv. (through your favorite Big Moves dancer or online at http://www.bigmoves.org), or $17 at the door, with a $5 discount for youth 17 and under.
** Online ticket sales CLOSE at midnight on the Thursday before a show. Folks in Boston: you have until tomorrow night to get your advance tickets. After that it's all at the door, for as long as we have seats to sell.
***Put "Mandy" in the comment box if you get them online. To keep track of who sold what.
*** EXTRA NOTE FOR NEW YORK. The theater is cozy, and we WILL sell out, so buy your tickets online or be really sad later!
Help us spread the word of fatty-fat dance and theater: circulate this to your friends and family and tell 'em to get their tickets. Hope to see you there! |

[Oct. 11th, 2006|11:03 am] |
We have VOLUNTEER POSITIONS open to you! Volunteer spots are a great
way to join in the Big Moves community and have fun, and they also help
keep us going. PLEASE NOTE: we need volunteers in every city on the
tour, so if you know anybody in Lowell (10/27), Northampton (10/28), or
NYC (11/3-4) who wants to see the show, please spread the word. All

If you're interested, please get in touch with Kristin at
kshaver228@aol.com with your contact information (email addresses and

so do not wait until the day of the first show to beg me for a spot.
Now is the time!
Yours in motion,
Marina
