For being a supposed straight girl, I sure get to handle a lot of breasts. I mean, seriously folks. Improv changes your life, but it has also put in my hands at least eight different sets of boobage over the last few years. The rumors are true, the Geegsters do really grab each other's boobs for good luck before a show. Most improv troupes do "got your back," a meaningful statement of support. We take support a step further.
I was in a really awesome Cagematch show last night. Jason V., brave soul that he is, wanted to do a show with himself and all women (since most troupes are mostly dudes with one or two ladies). So Twisted Knickers was born. We just did scenes, no gimmick other than the gender thing, and OMG, what great improv we did! I am still thinking about the really patient, weird, wonderful pool skimming scene (you had to be there). GGG's musical format doesn't really allow for much patient scenework (get to the song!) so it is a rare treat that I get to do pure improv. I had a great time and TN won for the night, so we get to go back and perform again (I hope it's not in May when I am out of town!)
During one of the scenes, I played a skeezy traveler in a Greyhound bus station waiting room. I made some off-handed (!) comment to Audrey about her breasts and she invited me to feel them. So I did. Had she not been wearing a bra, I could have been feeling for lumps. I was that thorough. I think the girl-on-girl tittie feel-up action might have secured our win, but it was still really good improv.
I just had coffee with my new pal Mary Jo. Mary Jo is sort-of famous. She's a writer too and I had a great time chatting with her. Yay new friends!
