Olympia:
Prior to the show in Olympia Agent Rhinestone, her BF and Kalub spent 3 days working on the sets for Viva Oz Vegas. Staying up til 1am spray painting shoes, repainting the yellow brick road, hammering, screwing, nailing, lifting, glittering, snacking, drinking…cans of champagne…etc…
Anyway- by the time we got to our show in Olympia… we felt pretty ready! We had enough time to do a tech and spacing rehearsal, explore the haunted dressing rooms etc…
Unfortunately Rhinestone did not allow herself enough time to get ready….so she had to go onstage with bed head (kind of)!
see below with El Vez….
Anyway- the show went off without a hitch and the audience was as full as can be! Rhinestone felt quite pleased and she loved watching the new Heavenly Spies in action….
and Nanda….
and so many more….
Agent Rhinestone has once again left out the juiciest details of this tour story.
like….
1.who almost got arrested after the show…
2.who stayed in Olympia til 3AM and went dancing… then fell asleep…
3.who ate her weight in garden burgers at a sports bar after not eating all day…
4.who rode in the back of a uhaul…
5.who stayed at who’s apartment…hmmm…
In conclusion… Good thing Agent Rhinestone isn’t a gossip columnist…. she’s not very good at revealing secrets.
to be continued….
P.S. More Viva Oz Vegas pictures here!
Viva Oz Vegas….. The Tour!
Spokane:
Agent Rhinestone arrived at the bus only to find out that it was a “burning man” bus of sorts. Quite cute…. suitable for a camping trip with friends or a trip to the coast with Ma and Pa… but perhaps not the best for a touring cast of 20! But… we made it work. We got cozy and settled in for our 5 hour drive to Spokane. We made it as far as Issaquah and broke down for the first time… then we made it to Ellensburg… and we broke down for the second time. At that point it was time to call it quits for the night and checked into a really fancy super 8 motel.
The next morning the bus magically worked again and the little cast set out upon their journey…. and alas… made it to the theater just in time for the 7:00 show.
phew!
note: the most important, juiciest details have been left out of this story!
Like…
1.who hooked up with who…
2.how many drinks were had with how many drag queens after the show…
3.what person talked too much and drove everyone nuts on the tour bus…
4.who walked in on who in a compromised position…
5.who has an odd smell…
to be cont…..
Last night Agent Rhinestone suffered in the name of Brad Pitt. She went to see the new Quentin Terantino anti-chic flick… “Inglorious Basterds.” She spent the entire movie in fetal position with her eyes shut tight and her ears covered.
Brad was pretty good…. I mean WOW… he loves eating snacks in movies and his accent was like so Americana trasheriffic! Way better than that Ben Button disaster last winter….
But actually… the french girl in the movie won Agent Rhinestone’s heart. She made smoking look glamorous… (which Agent Rhinestone totally appreciates even though she hates cigarettes.) Also… she had a great cosmetic application scene…. totally perf! Viva Glam! Red Lipstick!
In conclusion:
Let’s all thank God Agent Rhinestone isn’t a movie critic.
Agent Rhinestone has created a new work post/command station in her apartment. She sits on a high stool behind her bar in the corner of the living room. She can see people walk in her front door… she can oversee meals cooking in her kitchen (mere steps away)…. she can clack on her laptop… and like poor drinks (if anyone is thirsty!) (Actually she only has one bottle of mystery alcohol on her bar that Faggedy Randy drinks sometimes when he comes over.)
Agent Rhinestone is like totally in command!

I loved my friend
She went away from me
There’s nothing more to say

The birds moved out. The babies learned to fly and went off to bird college. The Bird Mom and Dad moved to a smaller vent/fan thingy a few blocks from here.
Now there are just a few pigeons checking out the vent/fan thingy… no buyers yet…. it’s a bad economy.
Perhaps Agent Rhinestone should lower the selling price….
Agent Rhinestone has recently thrown out her motto “everything happens for a reason.” Her new motto is “sometimes things happen for a reason and sometimes they happen for no reason at all!”
The things that happen for no reason at all… are the things that end up teaching us lessons…. so perhaps they do happen for a reason. Perhaps Agent Rhinestone shall reinstate her motto….
“Everything happens for a reason.”
Agent Rhinestone is so happy it’s finally warm. She can only think of sequin bikinis, new sun hats, original flavor frozen yogurt, Madison Beach and like other stuff you do and buy when it’s warm.
So- Bye. Agent Rhinestone is off to purchase pretty things and lay like a twiggy in the sun.
xox.

Agent Rhinestone was recently talked into going to see the new Star Trek movie. She went. (Dragging her boot heals, of course.)
It turns out… Agent Rhinestone kinda loved it! That one chic had great eyeliner. And… it looks like Spock has a secret pony! Dream Man? So zoomed in the face!
