Well, it finally happened!

My old dinosaur of an Acer computer, which I have fondly called Edna for the last 6 years.....yes.....six whole years.....shouldn't they last as long as a couch?.....they cost the fricken same amount........where the hell was I?.....oh ya......Edna just turned over and would not let me access her floppy.....yep......I said floppy......she has decided that the interface years are over.

Ug.

What the hell to do now?

It ain't like anyone can afford a computer....but sadly I need one.

So, I pulled out the trusty Future Shop card, the only way I can purchase what I need, peeps....and got A MAC!

(Play heavenly music here.)

I am 

in bed......blogging.

YUP.......bedblogging.

I have so much new news that I will be announcing on the blog today!

New news.....what is that .....repititious repitition!

So, George and I are doing a two hander play in Orangeville next month.

REALLY.

It is called Ropes End and I have to say that I am quite excited.

Life just changes whenever it wants, huh?

I was supposed to have a whole nother different  year in my plans that exist in  my head!

Oh well, go with the flow.

Then I am artistic director for the Dark Night Cabaret Series that Acting Up Stage will be presenting this year......oh what a line up I have come up with....I am also doing a night of a new show!

It is March 10th ( my night) 11th, 17th and 18th @ the Berkley Upstairs Space!

Very exciting!

Then......as if that weren't already enough,

I am doing at show in April for Sky Gilbert @ Buddies.....it is a play with music!

It is called Happy! 

Oh ya.....and I have a Sharron's Party at the Rose Theatre in Brampton on Feb 7th!

Wowie!

Can you take it!!!!

So many awesome things.....and, of course, April is the time that George goes off to Shaw to play Fredrick in A Little Night Music.....

Whew.

Exhausted with the good news!

And happy with the MAC Bedblogging.

One more thing.......what about all of those stinking American Idols being released from their record contracts?

What has happened to Justin Guarini?

Taylor Hicks was voted for by one billion people...yet 6 of them bought his record!

Ruben who?

I am still wondering......where is Clay?

I liked him.

I could not help it....he was one of my people, whether he admitted it or not.

Why would anyone still watch that crappy show?

NO GOLDEN GLOBES!

And you thought I was talking about Nicolette Sheridan's fake ta ta's.......( I tried to pick the most fake looking pair that I can think of).......

George was watching the People's Choice Awards while I was dismateling ( I can't spell, you know what I mean) the XMAS tree and then I asked him where the audience was......no audience?!

%&$#&^* What?!

Then the news started that there was gonna be NO GOLDEN GLOBE AWARDS!

#$@#%# WHAT?!

Oh my lord!

I live for award season.

The dresses, the hair, the fashion misteps, the fake tans, George Clooney.......

Other things......

OH NO!

And the G.G.'s are my fave award show....wanna know why?

Two Reasons

1. Because they are at dinner and are allowed alcohol.....remember the year Sharon Stone got up and all but showed her woo woo during a speech for Martin Scorcese.

They get a bit drunk and then they speechify!

What could be better?

2. The Movie People have to mingle with the TV people......who are seated 3 football fields away from the stage.....if is like the caste system in India for shit sakes......

make one crappy film and you get to move to table #470 with a Baldwin Brother....who is not Alec!

I am sooooo sad!

What about the Oscars?

What ABOUT THEM?

What if they cancel them?

I just fainted and came back to.

Otto, my dog, licked my face with his bum bum breath and woke me!

Say it ain't so!

On another note.....Paul from Montreal.....I tried to get that Lynn Crombie article on line but they wanted to me pay for it!

Now I am gonna have to buy it.....I can't stop myself...you know how I am obsessed with Britney.....so you and my obsession are costing me a buck......

The Diving Bell and the Butterfly

I, obviously, must have finished working with other humans everyday because I find myself at the computer writing on my blog everyday.....these are the thoughts that I would pester my dressing-room mates with or my piano player.....but with Oz being over, me taking a little break from the Party, Georgie rehearsing in Hamilton and Otto ( my 14 year old pup) clearly using his age as a weapon to pretend that he is deaf to my natterings....I must turn to the fabled three of you who read this....

I really have not left the house much since Jan 2nd.....I happily get into my pajamas when I get home from anywhere.....even when it is 2:00pm in the damned afternoon and could not be happier!

I think I could quite possibly be a hermit wih great ease!

Weird!

Anyhow.

As I was laying on the couch today at noon in my robe and slippers watching my newest discovery.....Paranormal State on A and E...awesome!......Blythe, my friend, called me an invited me to a movie.......well....my slipper-covered feet screamed...... "NOOOOOO! Stay home".....but my ass screamed..."Get off of me!!!! I am can't see anything"

So, I say yes....then she tells me it is at the Cumberland.....and to me that only means...subtitles.....oh, and that this is the place where they still put real butter on the popcorn ...good to know, eh? See what you can learn on ths blog?

Even though th subtitles make me wanna stay on the couch ......I don't get to see Blythe enough because she lives away ......so I say "YES! I should get out of this house!"

After I say yes....she tells me that it is this film...yes, it is a film, not a movie.....about a man who can only communicate with his left eye.......

Really.

I should get out of the house.

I should get out of the house.

I should get out of the house.

I decide to remain firm on my decision.....then she says the name and the time and I agree to meet her.......

I thought that it was called 'Driving Hell to With the Butterflies" ....which I soon found out .....after my 9 minute cab drive to the Cumberland where my cabdriver taught me about all the the evils of communist party in China.....

did you know that the communist party has been in power there since 1949 .....and that 80 million people have gone missing since that year in that country....I did find it very interesting.....

Where was I?

Oh ya.......I soon found out the title was 'The Diving Bell and the Butterfly'....just for the record...I like my title better.

We got in the theatre a bit late....and have to say....I was a bit worried about my enjoyment level for the next two hours.......it seemed 'all serious......ness'.....and though I thought it good to embrace my serious side.....I was till worried about the part of me that loves anything staring Will Ferrell.

Do you ever feel like you go to fancy serious movies.....I am sorry, films.....to feel a bit smart and superior?

Me too.

Anyhow......the film was soooooo good.....I loved it!

It is about a very successful french dude who suffers a stroke and then has 'locked-in' syndrome.....he can hear and see out of one eye but cannot move or talk....at all....you might think it too maudlin but it was suprisingly funny and moving!

The last ten minutes of the movie ......oh.....wait ...I don't want to give it away.....but let me just say....it was shot without the benefit of steady cam .....so I felt a bit sicky-sicky.....so I left to go to the bathroom and missed the last 5 minutes of the film.....

Ass.....but still....wowie!

Now, I am home after taking a gravol....still feeling a bit naseuous......god I am fragile ....I am all over sleepy and feeling sad and inspired by this film.

Go see it!

I am soo glad that Blythe asked me to go.....especially when she knows the low level of my entertainment factor....thank god I have good friends who are helping me try to stretch my 'Kraft Dinner Hamilton Girl' tastes.....

Mmmm....Kraft Dinner........thank god there is a store across the street!

Perez...............

Now, I don't think that I am all that.....and a bag of chips....

( I always agree with that saying because doesn't a bag of sour cream and onion chips make everything better?)

...but I have this little blog and sometimes I just gotta speak my mind....

I LOVE Britney Spears.....

that girl worked harder before she was 20 years old then most of us have worked in a lifetime.....and wearing something resembling a bikini most of the time.....which takes balls.....that poor girl.

George, my husband, kept saying to me that someday......well...the media ain't gonna be truly happy until they kill her......and now it seems ....that they are close.

I try not to read too much about it....but I cannot stop myself from checking in every once in a while.....I wonder how the debacle that is her poor life is going......she is 26 people.....26 years old !!!

So....sometimes.....I am totally embarrassed to say......I go on perezhilton.com......

UG!

That guys is a fucking mess.

You know.....YOU KNOW that he was a total geek, wore low-slung hipster jeans with the muffin top and got his head flushed at least once while going to highschool.....you know what a mess that shit was....and now my friends, he is making all of the popular people pay.......

I feel something akin ( yes, I said akin) to a religious outrage about that guy...I see why people get into the jihads.....he is a nasty little bastard and has focus alot of his energy on outting people who want to live their sexual orientations in peace and little pop stars......

Maybe he wanted to be a little pop star.

He hates Avril.....now I have to get pissed off right away because I am bound by my patriotism to defend her rockin' ways......

And he REALLY hates poor little, misguided and effed up Britney.

He has made it his personal mission to put that little girl in the ground.......

He puts pics of her on his webpage in straight jackets and makes her body look all fat....that would be the thing that wuld finally drive me over the edge.

And, dears, his glass house is very, very tall......I do hope that the windows start getting shattered very soon......

(ooooooh almost poetic.....I think I am all fancy.)

Clearly, that young girl has got some problems.....and like the Spears family needs anymore shit....little Jamie is preggers!

My........just leave the poor girl alone.

Maybe without all of the media attention she might be able to string something together that looks like a normal life.

It seems that people like Perez forget that these people are real.

I wonder how long this ass would be able to hang tough under the same kind of media scrutiny.....not as long as dear Britney has.

I am praying Britney.

I barely ever do that.....but I think you need the help, ya poor thing.

And I wish a yeast infection on that Hilton dude.

Nothing life threatening.....just weird and itchy and embarrassing to explain!

I know!........

Happy 200-and fricken'-8!

I have been told by some that it is time to write something here!

Well, you guys, it has been so busy I have not had a chance to keep up....I thought that maybe no one was following along anymore but here we are.....I am gonna try and keep on it!

What a fall and winter, people!

Between the Party and Wizard I have been running my ass off......which actually needs to happen.....it seems that I started eating mid December and stopped exercising the same day....ouch......but it was sooooo busy!

Wizard was awesome!

Who woulda thought...Children's Theatre and Sharron Matthews....together again for the first time!

But what a good time was had....I really enjoyed it...although those little ones sure kept me on my toes....you never knew when they were going to scream something out!

I mean really!

Boooo.....Hisss......well...I got to say boo right back and when they decided to talk to me while I was being an actor I could just reach down and be extra wicked!!!

AWESOME JOB!

I did love working at LKTYP and all of the people were excellent.....it was a happy place....and what with Georgie being there....sweet.....and Thom......sweet...and Shawn Wright.....what?......awesome......he is an excellent mess.....what fun I had with him and he is just great to work with......and I shared a dressing room with Molly Atkinson.....we were older and jaded together ......although we sure let our lines blur between who was good and who was evil.....backstage we passed it back and forth!

You know it is true, Molly!

And the Party?!

Well, I went all over Ontario!!!!

Hamilton was my first stop on my Christmas tour!

That is where the picture is from......oh my old principal Mr. Swan, who comes to see everything, was there......all of my friends from highschool, holy crap, and many others.....family and friends.....it was a great night with Allie Hughes, awesome and Stephanie Yelovich...also awesome!

Zachary Florence, young composer and player accompanied me that night....he was sweet and light of finger!

Then to the Diesel..... packed it out at about 200 people!!!

Woo hoo!

I wore three, count 'em, three outfits and debuted a bunch of new stuff....the Hooker medley seems to be a Christmas favorite.....who knew?

I video'd that night so look for footage in the next month on the old website!

Then off to Peterborough.....I had about 100......oh, they were naughty at the Showplace in the lounge....they already asked me back for next season!!

Randy Read was one of my guests there and he just told the best stories .....he told about how he got his partner Steve an Easy Bake Oven for Christmas a few years ago!

I had a blast there....then to Alliston......where there was a small but mighty audience.....there was a 9 year old in the first row......um.....they were quiet....which is always a challenge for me....but they all stayed and I got a nice review...go fig!

The topper to the year was New Years at the Waterloo Entertainment Centre.....what a night....the audience was from 24 years to 80 years....and they all had fun and laughed......it was truly a great night!

Steve Thomas played for me in Waterloo and at the Diesel.....I have known that man since I was 24.....he is just excellent and makes me laugh....his playing is full and excellent!.....oh and he likes pretty girls.

I am excited about the year to come......with theatre and the Party branching out a bit more.....I am booked in Brampton on the 7th of Feb......I was there in the summer and had a blast I look forward to going back!

Who knows where I will go next?

Oh...but I will be Artistic Director of the Dark Night Cabaret Series for Acting Up Stage this March.

The 10th, 11th, 17th and 18th......I will announce the guests very soon......I will be previewing a whole new show on March 10th.

I think I am gonna call it

'Sharron Does Canada'

......

Sounds Patriotic, non?

Eric Bana was at my movie!

Holt shit!
I mean......HOLY Shit!
I went to see 'Into the Wild' with my dear friend Vicki tonight ( at the Carlton...the smallest movie theatre in the world)....and in walks Eric Bana...The Hulk....the brother in 'Troy' .....Vicki, of course, doesn't remember him and nor does she care....which, of course, drives me insane! Even though she and I saw 'Troy' together.....I turned to her halfway through it , 'Troy' that is, and said "This is a Harlequin romance!" ......she said it wrecked the whole movie for her....anyhow.....she doesn't even remember who he is.
The neat thing is after the movie he walked out front and got on his bike and rode away....he is all environmental! When I mentioned that to Vicki she told me that I was a butthead. She is so unimpressed!
Oh ya....and the movie was great!

Holy Crap!

This was Thom's birthday party at our place!

It was our first party in our new loft.....new....we've been here for about 6 months but it still seems new!

What a time we had!

Ed was there, Jenny, Scott ( McFlurry to those in the know), Ejiro, Todd, Lisa, Molly and Grey.......it was a wonderful night.

Bill, the hair guru, had strep throat so he stayed the hell away but was missed!

Thom is always so conscious of other people's birthday ...... he needed some birthday lovin' himself!

George made a full turkey dinner!

It was soooooo good. And in honour of mine and George's Hamilton roots there was a bowl of cranberry sauce on the table that looked like it had been sucked out of the can! Yummy!

Happy Birthday, Thom!

Oh my god you guys...... I hope someone is still reading my blog because so much is happening!

Last night we opened 'Wizard of Oz' at the Lorraine Kimsa....it was an excellent night...I was all but booed off the stage....IN A GOOD WAY! It is a such a great pleasure to work there......the staff , the crew and the artistic team....what a dream!
Michael Gianfranceso did my costume.....holy crap!
It is so great that when I enter I just fly on and then give the audience a Tyra Banks pose!
(Fuck, I hate that bitch.)
How happy am I to work with the cast I am working with?
Thom...need I say more?
Shawn Wright.....funny and sweet and he makes me gut laugh.
Paul McQuillan.....he is fab in the show and also a gas.
Molly Atkinson.....she and I are Alexis and Crystal....no really.
The Girls....Sacha, Sara and Roz.....I think of them as the younguns but they are older and wiser than I at most times.....and workin' their young asses off..... Sacha has to sing all of her solo with a dog on her lap and she handles it well and it makes the scene very lovely.....I probably would have thrown a diva fit......I would like to think that I wouldn't but I know mysel too well.
Sam Moses.....he is funny and knows alot of good stories and plays a flying monkey!
And George.....it is so nice to see my husband everyday and his guard is to die for.
Anyhoops, I hope that you can make it down...people small and great seem to love it!
Check out Richard's Review at

And after a trimphant travel around to some Ontario destinations.....check out the website for the Waterloo Review of the Party....it is a scream.........I am coming back to TO for...One Night Only.....One Night Only....That is all I have to spare!
The Diesel called and asked the Party to come on over....How could I resist?

And 3 days before that, on December 7th, in my hometown of Hamilton I will be playing the Party at the Westside Concert Theatre....I am totally excited about that as well!
I love my hometown people ....and what with the freakiness of Facebook I have just reconnected with a whole bunch of people from there...all good, thank god....ya know how that goes!
Who will show up to take the wind out of me?
Who knows!!!!!
Here is an article written by a fave of mine, Gary Smith, who has been helping my career along since the start.......
http://www.thespec.com/Entertainment/article/279210

Can you get over all the fricken' press!
I can't... I am very happy about it...cause I want to sell both of those dates out!!!!!
Other than that...George and I are still in our PJ's for the first time in weeks.
The days off have been devoted to promoting and doing the show.......in Kingston they seemed to have a great time!....and in Waterloo I said 'motherfucker' pretty much right away and they loved it! I will be going back to the same venue for New Years!
I also just ate a whole bag of Chips and Dip!
um.......oh...I feel a bit sickie.

We watched Next Top Model last night....hmm....they sent away the 'fat' girl......she was not fat....and she is super pretty ....prettier than some of those other skeletal bitches....and that Bianca......ahhh.
Sometimes, I get that feeling that I want to take the worlds biggest pillow and slam across peoples' heads.....Tyra, Elizabeth Hasselbesk, Bianca......a girl from the show 'Whistler' who I saw on an episode of 'Diary' on MTV.....her name was Amanda and she could not have been more infuritating......yes, I sometimes watch MTV....ya gotta keep up with the young'uns....
Oh.....Life is nice!
I hope that you are all well......

TOOO Long

We went to New York on vacation.....after 2 years we got to go away together, George and I....we had three days and I tell you ....we filled it up!!!!

I was so freakin' excited I could barely take it!

George bought us tickets to Spring Awakening....ahhhh.....and we were gonna play it by ear otherwise....and we did.

We went to see tons of cabaret, we met tons of people we knew....I will talk about it more when I ain't all pooped out from playing the WWOTW.....awesome fun that too.

I also popped into Kyle Golemba's cabaret @ the Gladstone tonight.....it was fab......lovin' that Allie Hughes.

He has the great ideas with the follow through and has the talent to back it up...Kyle that is....and he is cute as a fricken button!

Lovin' doin' the show at the Lorraine Kimsa.

It is one of my best professional experiences so far, my friends....who knew?

We laugh alot.

And it is around the corner from my house...who could ask for anything more?

Those fabu Blackman sisters, two of the biggest supporters of theatre in Toronto and surrounding environs are moving to England....they will be sorely missed by this girl, I must say.

I wish them the best!

Beatles Night!

I know I say this often but.................

Oh, what a night!

I love doin' benefit type things !

Most anyway...but this was just all too awesome!

The cast of people was dreamy....

Steve Gallagher, EJ Scott, Patricia Zentilli, Thom Allison.....MY HUSBAND!!!!.....Jennifer Stewart, Kyle Blair, Dean Armstrong, and Joe Matheson...

And we sang Beatles tunes....it was a great night put together by Mitchell Marcus, who's youth just frightens my ass...I have shoes older than that boy....but he has his shit together and is producing some of the most interesting and comtemporary music theatre in Toronto!

And the MD of the evening?

Look out people...for a man named Reza Jacobs....he was quite thrilling to work with. His ideas were new and his enthusiasm was infectious....I think this man is on his way to some place......and a good place @ that!

Everyone was wonderful but I would like to point out some of my favourite moments of the evening....

Steve G starting the show screaming ( in a awesome rock and roll way) 'ST. Pepper'...that boy is in a club that I think I belong to ....

( someone else said this joke...I cannot take credit)

the ' I-really-deep-inside-think-I-am-black' club.

That man has got some pipes!

My honey singing the pop tune ' Day in the Life'....I love it when Georgie sings pop.....it makes me giggle-ie.

He so handsome.

Patricia Zentilli sang a version of 'Strawberry Fields' that just blew me away....it was so honest and pure.....I went from 'wow' to' Wowie' to 'Jealous' to ' I am past jealous and just impressed'.....that was alot of emotions to got through in one song, let me tell you!

I cannot wait to see her in 'Little Shop' @ Canstage.

EJ....she is just the bomb.....both of her songs ( 'Maxwell's Silver Hammer' and 'Something') were so original and dynamic...gotta buy her albums!!

My fave of the whole night was Thom singing 'Lady Madonna'.....it was...it was...just luminous.

What a night we had!

The audience was sold out and I had a drum solo in my tune!!!

What more could you ask for?

My Friend Thom.....

Now....this wasn't what he was wearing at Statlers tonight....this is what he wore when we went to the zoo.....doesn't he look cute?

Tonight, Thom did a cabaret at the new Statlers...nice room by the by.....

It was packed my friends....PACKED!

Thom did 3 sets.....yup.....3....that is 36 songs....full-the-fuck-out!

He rocked....

he sang 'Gorgeous', 'Miss Celie's Blues' and ' I Am Changing' to name but a few.

He told stories and had an awesome theme 'Past, Present and Future'....he was just stellar!

Can anyone sing like him?

I was sitting with my friend Ed Sahely, the funniest guy in showbiz and Jonathon Wilson, who is so creative.... and I turned to them at one point and I told them that I felt like I was in New York.....oh I hope the days of cabaret are here to stay.

It was AWESOME!!!!

Otto + Chicken = Trouble

Oh yesssss.....

Daddy please.....

Just one little bit....

Just the skin part......

Oh I am sooooo tired but...

There is chicken.......

I am so cute, aren't I.....I know I am a bit stinky, but hey, I am 14 fricken years old.....

Why must you keep it from me .....the special meat?

Mommy....

Wait! My ass smells heavenly......

CHICKEN~!

That Otto has quite a vocabulary.

2 things....

ANTM Cycle 9......looks just so promising......there is a girl named....

are you ready?.....

Spontanoiuse.....

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!

It just looks like it will be delicious.

And the next thing....Survivor.....

AWESOME!

Speaking of Chicken.....

GONE!!!!!!

The Party's Over.......

How tiny is this picture....I am still too tired to make it any bigger....I tried some others...but god bless you all who took them......the angle was bad for my ego or they were, believe it or not....smaller.

Oh my.......I cannot believe that we are done at he Gladstone....I say that with sadness and a bit of creative relief.

I look forward to utilizing all of the material that I have written and songs that were arranged for the version that will be on the road and that we will bring back to Toronto to a bigger theatre.....Yes my friends....that is the plan.....I am gonna use the road to finesse and then the Party will re-emerge when you least expect it....

Woo hoo.

But back to the night of September 17th....

What a NIGHT!

We were so worried about everyone fitting but, of course, in the back of my head 'what if no one came'?

Well, Sean from LKTYP was in line reading the Now mag at 6:00pm.....new record and I love him for it.....it was very soon after that the line started to grow and by 7:00pm it was around the corner... 'Sharron's Bitch' t-shirts were everywhere!

At 8:00pm they came and told me....well 'they' was George....that I couldn't come down yet because they were still letting people in....2 at a time....and it was too many people for me to go down and say 'hi' to at this late time.....I always love that.....

But it was 230 people.

Yup....you read that right!

And we decided that this night would have not guests and be all Me.

Patrick and I would celebrate the two years and then show the audience and ourselves what it would be like on the road.

It was cool.....I did three songologues.

One was the first I wrote ....called 'My Name is Sharron Matthews and I love Britney Spears' and another was called 'Highschool Dancing' and it has me ending with 'I Will Survive'....

Ending with a disco tune never fails....

It was an amazing night....so many faces that I love and so many that have been such wonderful supporters.....

I felt very blessed and proud.

The CD Party Girl was released and we sold almos 100 copies!!!

Woo Hoo!!!!

I am really proud of it.....Patrick produced it and did a wonderful job.

And now.....on to the new life of 'Sharron's Party' and whatever is next.....I am very excited and have a whole bunch of new ideas rolling around my head...who knows what I will do next...but one thing is for sure.....the Party will keep on going.

On Monday September 24th I am doing a show called

' A Little Help From My Friends'

for Mitchell Marcus.....

Here is the webpage.......

http://www.actingupstage.com/index2.html

So, check that out....

George is in it and Thom and Steve Gallagher....to name a few.....

and October the 11th I am in Kingston...check out my website.....

And the next day I start 'Wizard' ......wowie....wow.

So, I am movin' on out.....but to where?

That is the exciting part.

Don't stop reading Bloggers....we are just beginning.

Too Long....

Holy crap you guys!

It has been toooo long ...are you still there?

I am so excited and this has been such and awesome time.....and of course I feel that it was important enough to tell the whole interweb!

We spent long days and nights working on the Cd with Patrick as the producer......oh my, but I am really happy with the whole thing......it is fun and funny and I don't sound too bad.....if I do say so myselF....

Sharron...

that does not sell CD's.....

It sounds AWESOME!

We will release it @ the last Sharron's Party on

Monday September 17th......

ahhh the last party....

sigh....

sad and happy...

we have bookings all over Ontario over the next 4 months and have already done two.....

We were in Brampton...where the audience was 17 years old to 80....not lying....I asked right away if I could say cocksucker.....

that seems to be the barometer for the evening for me....isn't my mother proud?

Last night we hauled our cookies up to Waterloo for their subscriber night...

the Waterloo Entertainment Centre just bought 8 months of Sharron's Party with extra shows @ Christmas and New Years....once a month just like here......

It is super exciting that the AD up there wants to build an audience!

The lovely Barb Barsky was there....she is doing Master Class...and her husband Marek....who I love....was playing piano for her when she sang "Infinite Joy"....ah that song is nice.

Jean Stillwell was there....singing pretty and lookin' fierce...as was her accompanist Patti Loach....she cool.....

Young Ari Weinberg was singing from Bunnicula....which they are also doing there.....

then I brought up the rear with some Britney Spears and Pussy Cat Dolls....I am nothing if not fancy.....

You guys....I am so excited about the 17th....

here is the info from my webpage and Facebook

Can you believe it?
One more show!!!
And that night 'Sharron's Party' is full of things that are awesome.....
The Cd 'Party Girl' will be released....it will hot off the fricken press...
Our last 'Party' ...for a while at least, while we spread the funny and the potty mouth to the rest of the world...... starting with Ontario.....
We will tell you what is next for us!

The Party.....The Rose Theatre...and what else?

What fun we had!!!!

My fave party yet!

I just love the different-ness of it everytime.....

As they say...you will never be more beautiful than you are at this moment.....

Or wait.....did Brad Pitt say that in the blockbuster movie 'Troy'....

anyhow.....

That is how I feel about the show.....it is of the moment....that is my favourite part!

We were packed.....I cannot even tell you how many people were there but it was more than ever.....

Neil Barclay from the Shaw.....Laurie Lynd who directed me....fancy huh?.....in the BBC mini-series 'I was a Rat' with Brenda Fricker...she was a bit rude to me..I digress......

Beach and Mr. Brightside

Hey Blogging Peeps!
How is the summer shaping up? George is home, so all is happier and fabulous with me....he is tired from all of the.....Halifax-ing....they do know how to get down out there.
And by "get down" I mean party....but I hate saying party like a hoser....ya know.....
Well.....Georgie and I just got back from two glorious days of lying on the beach at Port Dover.....we had such a great time....the weather was great and we swam and ate everything that was deep fried or came in a cone....wow...I gotta drink some slim fast for a couple of days!
We showed up at the Lighthouse Festival and snuck around till we found David Nairn and Norm Foster ......then they gave us tickets to the night show of "The Long Weekend".....we actually had to perch on the top of two folding chairs to see the show but we didn't care....we loved it and laughed and then went across the street to a place called Lightning Jacks ....I asked for a Pina Colada because they said those two words alot in the show, and the bartender looked at me like I had ordered a glass of poop......she gave me a cooler that put hair on my chest instead......
Hey...someone wrote to James, who is in charge of all the Youtube stuff, and asked if we could put Mr. Brightside on the site because they were sure that is was in the same show as "Gloria"...so we must have footage.......now let me see....I don't remember what is in the last show......this person has my deep admiration and thanks for caring!
And I mean it!!!
Here is the link for anyone who wants to know...

I am off to my dear friend Ryan's wedding tomorrow....he is marrying the very sweet and lovely Kerry.....I have known them both since she was 16 ...how crap ....and he was 21....isn't that sweet!!!!!!
They asked me to sing and I said yes....they are so dear....but don't tell them but I am always a bit afraid of singing at weddings .....here is why.....I am weepy.....at the very best of times.....I mean when am fully rested and everyone is well and I am not on my period I cry watching "So You Think You Can Dance".......( though...can I say....I thought the "Flower Number" by Mia Micheals was a bit much....)...so...I am always afraid that I will just become worked up and cry like a baby....and contary to what you all might think about me.....it is not always about me....I know!.....surprising.
Anyhow...here is to hoping that I don't ball like a prom queen.
I do love weddings....the food, the dancing....drinking my weight!

All so exciting!

Mary Kay and Party and.....tired!

Thanks Erika for this shot!!!!

Well, I had a great time at the Party!

We were PACKED again!

I am always amazed at the people...it makes me sooo happy to see the newbies and always happy to welcome back the return "Bitches" with opened-beglamoured-arms!

We had to hire Ari Weinberg as a "Candy Bitch" due to the fact that someone almost go killed with a stray ring pop at the June show.

Nancy Silverman can belt man....it is impressive!

She did a grand job.

Her father Sheldon won a prize for knowing that John Travolta starred in a movie called "Moment by Moment"....and furthermore that he played a character called "Sunset Strip" in same movie....wow....that is quite a knowledge.

And Steven Gallagher.....what can you say.....he is one of my all time favourite performers....really.

He sang a song that our friend Neil Bartram wrote for him...it was so lovely....oh boy...I am just gay for him.

And in our crowd.....well the fabulous younguns...always love them.....

Sean Reycraft the writer, Chris Levins the actor.....Paul Hemrond the fabu agent, Dmitry Chepovetsky from Regenesis...ooohh...he brought me huge orange gladiolas....I am probably spelling names wrong...and I am pretty sure that I spelt gladiolas wrong but again people.....spell check is for pussies....Derek Chua, Billy Lake all the way from Shaw....love that young man's name......the Blackman sisters, fabu supporters of theatre large and samll...and yes ..you Kevin...the box office manager of the Canon.....my hair guru Bill .......Thom...of course....Bittergirl and director and my best friend....Mary Francis Moore.....oooohhhh it was a panic!

And then people.....as I switch to pink

I went to Mississauga to sing at the Mary Kay conference!

Wowie!!

The money that they spend of that evening is mind boggling!

The dresses....they are all at

Grown-up-lady-prom!

But I was wainting backstage to start the show with at huge American Idol song the "Mary Kay" fanfare started...and I walked out in a red sequin number from .....where else....Fashion Crimes....and the audience of 5000...no really.....freaked out!!!

It was quite a feeling......

Then after the show one of my favorite people from highschool snuck backstage to meet me....oh...what a day!

I love you Sue Fields.....Mullholand.......whatever your new name is!

And thanks to Madeline Paul who asked me to do it!

Today.....

gasp...

go into the studio to start the CD!

NO LIE!

Me and John Travolta!!!

Yup....

That is me right beside Nicki and J.T....

as Georgie likes to call him...

Got a whole bunch of emails and facebooks about where this picture was.....

I stole it from Roger Ebert's site.....

wowie....

Paul Butler from Montreal told me it was on the front page of the Gazette!!

Woopie dooo!!!

And to top it all off my Mom went with my sister yesterday to see it and I couldn't even understand her when she called me cause she was so excited....

The funny part? I don't utter a single word in the movie!

I am a speciality dancer....

at the age of 38.....

But!

Proud as shit!

Don't forget the show on Monday where we will chat about this some more!

SO You think you can wear a bad outfit

Mary Murphy....

for shame.....

you need a stylist ....

or an explosive device...

that outfit was....

in the immortal words of Thom Allison....

TURRBLE!!!!

Oh my ....who is dressing her...

Charo?

Other than that...

I effing love that show....

I love Neil and Pasha....

I love Sabra and Domenic...

I like Lacey...but her cockiness bugs me...

I cannot help it!

Also....what in the eff is Cameron gonna do when he ain't dancing with her anymore??

What?

WHAT!

I wonder what my dear friend Michelle is thinking right now?

Anyhow...

My show....

Three more....

I am working my ass of on this one......

This Monday the 23rd...be there or be square!!!!

Gladstone....I am singing two songs that are on the charts RIGHT NOW!!!

of course ...we have fucked them around.....oh my....

Mary Murphy.....

for shame....

I cannot let it go.

It is not easy to take a picture of yourself that does not include a double chin.....anyhow....in my melancholy for George .....and not only that but all.... and I do mean all of my friends are gone away.....Thom, Vicki, Patrick......just to mention a couple for gosh sakes......

I went down to the Quay to prove that I could live a life on my own and would indeed not die fat and alone.....which is where all of my imaginary bad stories end!

It was busy....all the 'mericans were in town.....vacationing.....littering.....ya know the regular stuff....so I put my boob in a sling and off I went.....I do love the water....I didn't not love the stinky footed man who sat down beside me and took off his espadilles....eff off!

Anyhows....

Last night I took my Mommy to see the Full Monty out at Stage West!

Spoiler alert:

They took their clothes off....

All of them.

Oh my.

My friend Mark was playing the lead this week.....for the last part for the run he was understudying Steve Patterson who went off to Saigon at Drayton......Miss Saigon @ Drayton.....that is just weird....anyhows.....Mark was awesome!

He sang like a rock star.....Matt Murray was ass to the wind for alot of the show......he....also awesome....and that Mark Allan....what a gorgeous voice and lovely spirit......I laughed....I cried ...and in the lady who played the piano person I saw my future...

she brassy and delivered every joke to the audience!

Then they got to the end....and they all started to take it off...I was sitting with Mark's wife Blythe and I turned to her and just started to laugh and scream like I was four....

the went down to G strings.....holy shit!

At Stage West....also worth mentioning....Two men sang to each other on that same stage as lovers......also a first....and the whitebread audience....mostly handled it well.

In the final reveal I had turned to my mom......

so ....

after all that...

I missed the weiners...

Ah well.

Facebook?

Look at the size of my skirt.....look at my hair....look at my ass.....ooh I was sooo teeny....and sometimes I ate.

Facebook continues to shock and humble me.

Just when I think that it is safe to feel ....I don't know...safe...someone sends me a picture of me showing my boobs at a first year college party...well...not really but you get the gist right?

I am totally twenty years old there....that is 18 years ago...a whole legal person ago....that is also Shannon Barnett behind me in the black and white outfits...just so I am not the only one to be mortified.....but I am proud...I worked my ass of that summer......

Canada's Wonderland....ah...I would like to thank Jeff Morden for those shots....I thought that the three of you might get a kick outta it.

Oh my....it just winds me....

I was the swing and the dance captain....it was one year before I was in Les Mis....the year I really discovered drinking....not to excess...okay maybe a little...I had super cool roomates and it was my first job after school.

They used to check our bags on the way outta the park to make sure we weren't stealing bathroom tissue....really...someone was fired for it....on my last day I put my character shoes in my bag and put two opened boxes of tampons across the top.....I mean who was gonna want the grotty shoes that I had sweated in for one million shows?

Anyway...the scary thing is Jason Knight has a video of the show.....he threatens me with it every once in a while....

History, BOYS!

Just am sitting in on Canada Day with my broken boob and have a few thoughts....

Will I ever be as rich as those naughty Princes?

Don't they just look naughty?

Especially Harry....he looks like he's tossed a few serving wenches in the barn....oh wait....it is 2007....some blondie mean-girls in the pub bathroom....that is better!

Nelly Furtado Pretty.

Rod Sterwart....lucky as a motherfucker.....loved watching his old ass....best thing in the concert!

Little disappointed that Ricky Gervais couldn't stall for a couple minutes....doesn't he know what a rousing version of a sing-a-long Footloose would do?

"History Boys".

Awesome.

With the Di concert, "History Boys" and yesterday watching "The Queen"...I am feeling a tad british...been poncing around the flat speaking in a dialect to Otto....whose breath smells like the Royal Winter Fair.
