More! Stairway to Stardom

This show reminds me of the Winchester House. You know, that house that was so haunted the owner built all these staircases and doors that went nowhere?

Hairdresser. A song where a woman who looks like Hillary Clinton "sings" a sophmoric "song" about the positive affect a good haircut can have on your life. And then sings a song that is COMPLETELY unrelated in the middle of it.


I dont even KNOW where to start, but i guess "Cut my hair it wont behave....set it up with gel and wave; 2 ringlets...keep the top a little wet" is as good a place as any, huh? SO GOOD. Of course she's antsy in that chair! She's got places to go and people to see! And planets to fly to and government secrets to pass onto the ants that live in the empty soda bottles in her house.

You know, more people need to write songs about good haircuts. Just not her. Don't mess with perfection.

Gloria Huddle: Hello Operator

Operator? Information? Can i have the number for the nearest mental hospital?

She begins to sing around :50 in. Not that talking to herself in an English accent isn't entertaining, but she goes completely certifiable in the song. Even the people in the background are stunned.

This show is quickly becoming my favorite thing ever. Its so low rent. Its so awful. In fact, its so terrible it arcs past awful and somehow makes it back to good. Like a circle. Like the circle of life. Good and bad. Gothic beauty. Etc etc.

Um yea whatever, its completely stupid. Glory-ah has a serious case of weird eye and its giving me the CREEPS.

Did I just hear something? Why are my windows rattling? Operator? Information?
