The President's Giving A Speech? Whoopee!

It seems like there are two things the Guy in the White House really enjoys:
1: Being the Guy In The White House
2:Giving speeches

Now, lately, he seems to be sheltering in place in the White House, and finally taking this mess seriously. So he can't stand in front of his helicopter and shout things. That only leaves one option ... daily serious speeches from the White House. We've had two in a row and nothing controls the news cycle like a somber president talking about serious stuff... but some things never change which means it's time for ...

THE DONALD TRUMP DRINKING GAME
The rules are simple (of course they are) Before he gives his next speech (you know one's coming), stock up the bar, load up the coffee table and get ready for a party!

When the Guy in the White House says:                                          You:

       "They said "Sir..."                                                       Take a sip of Beer!
    
     "Aren't they terrific?"                                                    Take a sip of wine, but not Trump Wine

       "Fake News!"                                                              Take a shot  

   "I don't want to get into that"                                          Chug half a beer

'     "It's like a miracle"                                                        Consider Rehab Now

"Like we've never seen before"                                          Down a glass of wine

"The... Impeachment...Hoax"                                             Shotgun a beer

"It'll be over...very...quickly"                                              Guzzle  straight from a bottle of                                                                                                                                                                  wine...Trump Wine

"Oh, Wall Street loves Trump"                                            Pound a whole beer and smash the can on                                                                                                                                             your head

"Never in the history of our country"                                  Call an Uber

"Perfect... like... the Letter"                                                 Close your eyes, reach out with both hands                                                                                                                                            and down the first thing you touch!

And, if he's reading from a script:                                      

Take a bong hit and inhale until he looks up (Pace yourself). Then hold your breath until he looks down  and starts to read again. Then exhale.  Repeat as necessary until the end of the speech.

These steps may not change any thing, but they are guaranteed to make the time between now and Election Day go a lot faster!

Cheers!

Staff Infection!

A couple of weeks ago, my  friend Carol Davies called me up and asked me if I'd be willing to create a prop for the Edmonds School District musical. They're doing Disney's "Aladdin" (it seems like everyone is doing Disney's "Aladdin" this year... in fact, Edmonds is so fond of the idea, they're doing it in two different schools with two different casts! Meadowdale Middle School  This weekend! Edmonds Elementary Anyway, I needed to make the staff for Jafar, the bad guy... remember him? So I grabbed a broomstick, some wire, a gallon of Elmer's Glue, Reynolds Wrap, some paper towels and newsprint, and a little polymer clay and went to work!  But, of course it needed to be gold, so I had to make a trip to Lowe's for some spray paint...   Instant Evil! Good Luck, Everybody!

A week with the kids...

Image
This week, I had one of the best part time jobs in the world... teaching stage combat to a bunch of kids in a summer program. I had done it last summer and like last summer it was challenging and fun and over waaay too fast. Eleven kids, eight to twelve years old and five three hour sessions, to give them some knowledge of stage combat and physical comedy. They were total kids... silly, spastic, charming, needy, unbelievably creative, completely exhausting. Awkward, beautiful, fragile, clumsy, glorious kids. The first day of the session I asked them to write their names on pieces of paper, so that i could take mugshots of them and hopefully get some idea of their personalities and imaginations. Best idea I've had in a while... I had kids who knew each other, kids who hung out together, kids who'd never met before. It's amazing how fast they make friends with each other. I came in that first day and started tossing around some basketballs, hoping they might play. I shouldn...

Long Live the Queen!

Have I told you I love mermaids? Maybe it's the idea of blending two different worlds, maybe it's fantasizing about being Aquaman when I was seven years old in the surf at Coney Island. But there's something wonderful about the idea of people living in a world beneath the sea. What do they used for furniture? Or telephones... well, there, at least, the answer's obvious... So the above piece came about when I found some atrocious wall deco at TJ MAXX (how often do I say that?). It was a pair of copper colored scallop shell wall hangings. I immediately saw Elizabeth the First-style frilly colors, but from another dimension.  I wanted to create that feel, but with a certain otherworldliness... if you look closely at the piece, you'll see pearls and green and brown glass gems in her hair... which isn't hair so much as flowing seaweed, with bits of gold and copper leaf pressed into the clay. I did her hair by taking leaf shapes I cut out with cookie cutters and str...
