I'm a member
of an all-girls improv group called "Where Da Party At." This week we
did a show at the Upstairs Gallery as guests of "Making Out with Wes
Perry". Every third Wednesday, Wes, who sings throughout the show
wearing blue-glitter lip stick, invites different artists to perform; there
were poets, funny staged readings, stand up comedy, and improv. It was a
fantastic night – I loved the variety. And it was lovely to see so many gay
performers celebrating their identity through their art alongside straight
performers. Nothing gives me a boner quite like self-acceptance and inclusive
communities.
At the top
of the show, we asked the audience (95% gay male) for a suggestion and quickly
accepted the first thing thrown out: "vaginal rejuvenation."
Although we didn't avoid the chance to indulge in some twat-centric humor,
we also found an important theme: "how do you say goodbye to a part
of yourself?" or as we asked one member, "How can you replace the
vagina you've been through so much with?"
But mostly
it was gross fun. Here's my favorite snippet of the show**:
LESLIE
I have a
question. Well, it's really more of theory. Does your vagina's hairstyle
reflect the kind of man you're attracted to? I'll start. (points at vagina)
I like a man with a beard.
ALL
Ooooo, good
question!
LESLIE
(to
Margaret) And you like
bald men!
LAURA
And I love
mohawks!
MALLORY
And I love
really long hair!
RACHEL
And I love fat
guys!
Gross, right?
Improv is fun.

**The names
have been changed because we weren't all being ourselves but I don't remember
whatever made-up names we assigned to each other.**
