I never saw a guy in leotards picking up chicks before. But apparently they could if they wanted to.
:) That Nutcracker has such a big head. Nice line, Emily. Poor guy with that injury. I know. That was mean of me. It came out of my mouth before I even thought. I think it was funny...
but I love flirts.
Most people take life waay to seriously. I agree with Michael. What do you mean? Life is serious. I've definitely never been one to take life too seriously; I'm always getting in trouble for having too much fun. (Yes, there is such a thing.) Same here. I get frowned at for my sense of humor. Greetings,

Aw shucks. I got it wrong again.

At rehearsal tonight I took the CM's place as he had another gig. My normal stand partner sat with me. In one piece things were going so-so. Halfway through with things a tad tense we have to hit a high B flat out of nowhere. My partner and I hit it dead on. Instead of continuing we stopped, everyone else played on and we high fived each other and the guys and gals in the stand behind us too. The conductor looked at me and broke out laughing until tears came to his eyes. That broke the tension and the rest of the rehearsal went just fine.
The moreal of the story is we take ourselves way too seriously too much. I'd be nervous about picking up chicks in public while wearing leotards. Almost as nervous as I would be about wearing the leotards in public. I think it was clever! Emily, next time you need to find a ballet dancer, remember that they are all outside smoking. Look for the yellowish-blue haze... If there continues to be frivolity in this forum, I must insist on the Moral Suppression Team being deployed! Emily I love your blogs. I myself am incredibly in love and wanting to see chick flicks all the time... One time I played the Nutcracker in Anchorage and my stand partner was Miss Alaska. We had so much fun we were told by another orchestra member to behave. The specific comment was, "This isn't vaudeville, you two." "The moreal of the story is we take ourselves way too seriously too much."

Ray, do you mean because you highfived for a silly b?

Ihnsouk

Michael, I got to sit next to the french horn players this year, and every time we played the Pas De Deux, the one next to me would say, "Pass the ducks." So on the last performance, I pulled out a wind-up duckie and we passed it through the french horn section. "Aw shucks. I got it wrong again."

No Buri, the first and only time.

Must I remind you that the three musketeers wore...... Straight guys, pay attention. They do some fast costume changes backstage, and they all just get on with it. (I found this out by accident coming in the wrong way to the pit, once. ^o^)
Those guys in leotards are laughing at you... No prob. Guys are heavy into chicks who aren't into guys in leotards :)
