Pretend That We’re Dead
Yesterday, I played a dead ballerina in Margaret Cho’s outrageous new music video. I can’t say too much about it, but I can say that it shocked even me. It was directed by my friend Liam Sullivan, better known as Kelly, of “Shoes” fame. Here’s a picture of Penny Starr Jr. and me as we waited for our big moment.
Music video sets can be dangerous, in that you sit around for far too long and sometimes wind up saying too much out of boredom. Kind of like a bar, without the drinking part. For instance, I sat down next to Ryan Heffington (only my favorite choreographer in the whole universe) and poured my heart out about all of my little girl dance-class-damage. Maybe it was the purple tutu that made me get emotional. Luckily, he was as lovely as can be and I walked away swearing to attend his legendary Sweaty Sundays dance class this week. And I will, darn it.
I’ll let you know how it goes.
