I can’t dance.
And I sure as hell can’t sing. But, that doesn’t stop me from trying either when there’s a video camera around. Watch the video and then I’ll pull back the curtain, and give you some dirt on what happened backstage!
Now, the exclusive story behind this clip: Shooting took about two and a half hours. That includes makeup, costume changes, hair changes, jewelry and shoe changes, a refill on my rum and Diet Dr. Pepper, a search for wacky props, and so on. Editing took about eight hours. Blah, blah, blah. Wardrobe malfunction. I have a Fredrick’s of Hollywood corset. It hooks in the front and laces up the back. I apparently didn’t lace it up tightly enough in the back, because by the end of the first take, I noticed my blouse ballooning out more than usual over my midsection. Sure enough, the corset had come loose. But worse than that, it had come completely unstrung in the back. And since I was trying to shoot before the sun went down, so I could get as much natural light as possible, I said the hell with it, and soldiered on sans corset. And you can tell. In some scenes I looked pregnant. I tried to cover it up by doing the “pillow under the shirt where the pillow falls out gag”, but it didn’t translate well to video. Next time, I need to get that corset on tight and right. And it probably couldn’t hurt to lose some weight.

Oh Ronnie…I am so glad I took a break from playing Halo3. You have restored my spirit and the flood is no match for me. I especially liked the homage to Marcel Marceau (brought a tear to my eye, it did). And the supporting cast! Magnificent! (did you have to pay him/her much? tuna is becoming dear).
But I must comment on you commentary…rum and Dr. Pepper? That’s just wrong, unless you’re a mormon…no, wait, there’s somthing not quite right about that either.
Thanks for the smiles!
Once again Ronnie you have done it! I’ve done almost the exact thing. Gone through almost my entire closet trying to find the right outfit, just to hang around the house in. After one outfit then another, I end up in a comfy sweater and pants or something similar. I just needed to get the heels and skirts out of the way before I got comfortable. Keep up the great work and insights into the wacky world of TG!
