I'm totally in love with this reality show on...GASP...MTV. (I promise, Mom...I'm not watching any of their evil secular music videos!). It's a show about looking for the 'perfect' lead to play Elle Woods in the Broadway musical, Legally Blonde. Now, I've never even seen the movie with Reese Witherspoon but those of you who know me may guess that I have a theatric side and LOVE all things Broadway! Do yourself and favor and check out this musical and the reality show. My favorite parts are with Elle's sorority sisters--they're like a Greek Chorus (similar to the muses in Disney's Hercules for those of you who don't know Broadway but are Disney experts!) and perform a lot of high energy songs.
How I wish the cutest sorority song wasn't titled "O mi god". It's super catchy to sing but I do NOT want to teach Cassie that song when I'm humming it and have her singing in her baby voice, "oh my god"...we'll save her introduction to that song until AFTER we teach her the whole 10 commandments about not taking God's name in vain. If you disapprove of even me listening to it, you can start praying for God to convict my heart now. :)
Speaking of Cassie...there's another "bad" thing about this reality show (I'm really doing a good job of 'selling' this to you, huh!?!). There are 2 girls named Cassie in the cast and one of them is...obnoxious, to put it kindly. WHHY does my sweet and precious Cassie have to be associated with this annoying Broadway hopeful!?! Grrr...almost makes me want to start using Cassie's full name of Cassidy!
So, without further fanfare:

Why "Masker"?
- Masker # 7
- Northern Virginia, United States
- In college, I was a member of a sorority that was known as Maskers. There were 11 of us girls, all juniors, and 11 seniors. I was the 1997-1998 Masker #7. It was a highlight of my college years and I have used it for computer user ids since then. In the 10 years that have followed, however, I am learning the value of taking off the fake "Mask" and being true and authentic with myself and others. THAT is the purpose of my blog.

I actually caught this show! Who do you want to win? :)
p.s. Not that I'm an MTV-watcher either, but the Legally Blonde and Broadway parts caught my eye. :)
Don't feel bad. We went to see Avenue Q last weekend and I can't stop singing a song entitled "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist." I think I may have topped your song. :o)
hahaha I LOVE that song from Avenue Q :) And Kay, now I want to see this Legally Blonde thing, although I'm not an MTV girl.
