Ooooh my Desdemona!!!

Well, as you can see I've managed to fix the video posting problem. Hoorah!! So I can now share the aforementioned clip from "Fame" with y'all. (*Breathes big sigh of relief*)

Yep, following on from my recent ruminations on "Fame", I couldn't resist posting this one. The other night my hubbie and I watched an episode in which "da kids" do their own performance of Shakespeare's "Othello" with Leroy in the title role and Julie as Desdemona!! And here it is. Watch and enjoy!! Woohoo!!



Dig the incredibly dated (and anachronistic, forsooth?) synths!

Dig the abundance of doublet and hose and "authentic" Shakespearean outfits! (In which case, why are there two chicks dressed in silver space age gear amongst the ensemble?? Methinks anachronism rears its head again, sire! Or are these fair damsels rejects from Hot Gossip? Love the way they swish their pony tails about though).

Dig Julie Miller's cr*p acting and weird facial expressions! She's a fey one indeed.

Dig Leroy's angst, fabulous dancing and falsetto vocals!

Dig Doris' "Making her voice so craaazy!! bit. And Danny's draw-on beard.

And dig the sword fights! Splendidly choreographed. It's a wonder somebody didn't have their eye out.

WHAT a bunch of troupers. My school plays were NEVER this much fun, I can tell you.
