When Cindy’s Sweater Shrinks

It’s sad to be mad at your clothes;

It’s bad to be mad at your clothes.

If your clothes would behave

You would smile and rave,

But it’s sad to be mad at your clothes

It’s sad to be mad at your clothes;

They’re sitting right under your nose,

And bigger is better

(Referring to sweaters)

It’s sad to be mad at your clothes.

So here’s the thing about directing a cast of women… The second day of rehearsal, I get an idea for a cute publicity shot. The play takes place at an annual beach house getaway, so I said, “Okay! When we break, take your shoes off and we’ll run outside and I’ll shoot just your feet on the pebbly rocks out front. It’ll be a great shot! It says ‘beach,’ ‘summer,’ ‘good times…’ Maybe we can use it for an email blast.” And this is what I heard, from all of them: “Today?!!” “I’m not ready!” “Can I touch up my toenail polish?” “If we do it tomorrow, I could fit in a pedicure…” “Ooh! And I’ll bring my toe ring.” I appealed to reason. I reminded them their faces wouldn’t show, no one would be able to tell whose feet were whose, that it was only FEET, for Pete’s sake. Nope. So the thing is, you always have to remember, they’re girls.

“It’s like watching midget mud wrestling. You don’t know what’s going to happen, but you know in the end, the winner will be a midget and he’ll be covered in mud.” — MSNBC, a Democratic spokesperson (sorry I didn’t catch his name), commenting on negative campaigning in Iowa and into New Hampshire and beyond.
