"A painting revolves slowly high over the stage..."I just read "Six Degrees of Separation", a play by John Guare and it sounds like a fascinating play to cast. I really want to watch this live, I bet it would be very powerful. I kind of can't wait to hear why Professor Pease has to say about it. I love feeling really engaged in a class. I wish there were someone in my class I could talk to about this play... ironic because this is the biggest class I've ever been in... ahh the perils of a gut class.
It would be SO fun and cerebral to cast a play and direct it and be in it - a serious, profound play. Especially this play, and even more especially the role of Paul. According to Google Images, Will Smith was cast in a movie version as Paul. I don't see that as quite right. He has too much of a soft charm to him, his face is too open and young looking (even now), and the play so emphasizes the character's blackness and black background that I see him cast as a very dark black person.
Reminds me of:
Obviously not this level of raw sex and muscularness, but I see Paul as a really beautiful creature with obvious good looks - not kindly good looks like young Will Smith.Some other castings I found on Google Images:
Ugh this one looks all wrong. Paul, Ouisa, Flan - everything. Not right on any of them. And Ouisa would never wear a dress that made her breasts look like that. And Flan would never, never wear a tackly double-breasted jacked with ugly tie. How about another:
Also all wrong! Maybe I'm thinking of a modern iteration, but Paul would never wear that and Paul and Ouisa ar both too young looking and Ouisa's face is too round and lacks the sharpness of age.Another:
This one looks a bit closer.... Paul wouldn't have facial hair or long hair like that though. He knows better, he's too careful to do that. And I imagine Flan to be a bit more powerful-looking. And Ouisa looks a bit too old.
Sigh. lol.
Also, another beautiful photo from the recent Gisele shoot... the limbs, the muscle tone, the effortlessness and naturalness of his holding her and her just nearly floating. Reminds me of Alvin Ailey dance company. A very dancer-like photo, I think.

haha and to follow up on F's recent post: I love onesies! Now I just need to get one. I feel like it's probably hard to find the right one. Also - high-waisted onesies: darling or dangerous? The one to the left may not be the BEST example, it looks rather awkward even on this pin-thin model
This item below is fucking adorable... but not really class-appropriate now, is it. Perhaps with a little denim jacket thrown over it?
And well, while we're at it - why not - look at a piece I just bought recently (in navy)! I can't wait for it to get hereeee
