Me and Corli doing the teen angst thing, singing "I Don't Do Sadness/Blue Wind" from Spring Awakening. I think we sound especially awesome in the end section, when the two parts come together.


Corli singing "I Dreamed a Show" from Forbidden Broadway. FREAKING HILARIOUS! and Corli's voice is lovely.


magickalmolly getting her bellydance groove on! Don't miss the third song, which is a routine she choreographed to Corbin Bleu's "Mixed Up."


And this has nothing to do with me or any of my friends, but it is AWESOME. Pure, undiluted awesome, y'all. The Wellington International Ukulele Orchestra's cover of Outkast's "Hey Ya":


*shakes it like a Polaroid picture*

Me and Cord got together this evening for dinner and to do some rehearsing. We also did a costume test with the choreography...and of course we took photos. Duh, this is me and Cord we're talking about here! :)

( And then the fish turned into a gorgeous prince... )

I totally FAIL at sewing snaps.

Except for that teensy little detail, the sparkly gold leotard is done! And can I just say, I'm glad I'll be wearing a bright orange sarong because SWEET ZOMBIE JESUS nothing makes an ass look bigger than shiny holographic gold fabric stretched over it.

Oy.

I am totally in love with these two "behind the scenes" pictures from the set of HSM2. Lucas at the piano is enough to make me swoon, but everyone just looks so relaxed and happy. Like a bunch of friends hanging out. :)

Title: Dancing Now
Authors: phoebenpiper
Fandom/characters: HSM – Ryan, Chad, Mrs. Evans, Troy, Sharpay, Zeke
Rating: R (or NC-17?) -- mild boy-boy sex
Summary: The kiss was aggressive -- hungry and desperate. Ryan could tell it was something Chad had been longing to do for some time. Not longing to kiss RYAN, per se -- just longing to kiss ANY boy. But Ryan was happy to fill that role.
Feedback: Yes, please!

Authors' notes: I recently got the B-52s album Funplex and realized that tracks 6, 9, and 10 made me think of Ryan and Chad. Track 10 gave me the idea for this fic, and I just might've listened to these three tracks on infinite repeat while writing it, but it's NOT a songfic! Also, this story has WAY more sex than I've ever written before -- I guess those B-52s make me horny (particularly the gorgeous and talented Keith Strickland -- sigh!) Special thanks to kelbebop for the awesome detailed beta and thuriweaver for the suggestions on "certain" scenes. ;)

This is NOT part of "Extra Innings" -- it's a stand-alone story.

I made a blingy lobster bib!





I still have to add the small jewels, but it's getting there!

You guys. YOU! GUYS!

Me and Cord watched Picture This just so we could see this.

Ryan Evans, you sexy sexy boy. Pink (leather?) pants! Oh yeah, you're straight. But that's okay, because we love you just the way you are.

(Why do I have the song "Keep It Gay?" from The Producers in my head now?)

Me and Cord rewound and rewatched this preview about 10 times in a row -- including one time using slow-mo and frame-by-frame. (We're a little obsessed. Just a leetle teeny beet.) I can already say that I know there are lots of costumes from this movie I will want to make.

It's like, wow, a real movie! With real sexy costumes!

RAWR, Wildcats! Rawr.

The trailer!



Interview with Corbin Bleu:



*flails...just a bit*

I got my summer haircut today.

Voila!






Also, Corli and I saw WALL-E tonight. OMG you guys, I haven't cried that much in a movie in a long time. The first time I saw Return of the King was the last time I cried that much for that long. I can't even say what parts made me cry because I don't want to spoil anything for anyone who hasn't seen it yet, but it was so wonderful. So touching. And the end credits sequence was the most beautiful one I have ever seen!

Conclusion: best movie about robots in love since Heartbeeps. Okay, maybe the ONLY movie about robots in love since Heartbeeps! (And don't let that description scare you off, because WALL-E is like a million times better. A trillion times. A ka-zillion times!)

Corli and I were totally gonna watch Hello Dolly! tonight, in honor of WALL-E and EVE, but I forgot to bring the DVD. D'oh!

If cracktacular musicals aren't your thing, move along. :)



OMG, it's like a Bollywood movie! *suddenly has the urge to watch Main Hoon Na*

1. I got my jewels for the tiki warrior costume in the mail today from Fire Mountain Gems and they are beeyootyful!

( See? )

Perfect. And the facets almost look like ripples on the ocean, which is even better than I had hoped. Aaaaaawsome!

2. This is something I've been meaning to post a picture of for a while now. ( Chad and Ryan's promise rings? )

*laughs and laughs and laughs*

3. WANT. So goddamn badly. I have never wanted a pair of shoes like I want these. I think I'm going to order a pair in red. I needs them, precious!

4. I am going to re-paint my toenails tonight in a color called "Broadway Burgundy." This amuses me greatly.

5. It's now 80 degrees in my apartment, down from 90 when I got home. Woo!

I'm waiting in the Las Vegas airport for my flight. I swear, this has been the longest short week ever! But now I get to go home and sleep in my own bed and be in normal temperatures meant for decent human beings. *laughs*

Fourth of July tomorrow. I think I'll be pretty much spending the day over at Corli's to work on costumes and watch lots of all-American movies. Movies like 1776, the John Adams miniseries, Shut Up and Sing...and probably Team America and some episodes of South Park. 'Cause that's what America's all about. ;)

*collapses into a chair directly in front of the air conditioner*

111 degrees today in Vegas, y'all. I think my brain has melted to a puddle of goo.

It's July 1st, which means that the Swingathon stories are now being posted!

Click the graphic below to check out the community, where you'll enjoy some of the best fanfic the Chad/Ryan fandom has to offer. A new fic will be posted every day in July!



Yes, I wrote a fic for Swingathon. No, I'll never tell which one. Well, not until August 1st...that's when the authors will be officially revealed!

Ashley as Sharpay and Kermit the Frog as Ryan! The only thing that would be better would be if it was Lucas as Ryan and Miss Piggy as Sharpay!

In Las Vegas for work this week. Meh. Or more accurately, I'm in Henderson. Good times.

This makes it better. Mraz + KG = awesome!
