Citrus Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Episode 6 - The Entries 1 Faye Shull Quote "Bionic" by Christina Aguilera Guests have taken their seats in the theater, excited to see what Faye Shull has in store for them as fans know it changes every time. Suddenly the lights go out and the whole venue is dark. From the stage electronic sounds go off, the noises getting louder and more distorted as giant letters above the stage illuminate one by one eventually spelling out F A Y E, then the whole stage is dramatically lit up revealing Faye Shull herself and the intro to "Bionic" begins to play. For the intro Faye is doing very robotic yet erratic movements to match the song but then recomposes herself as the first verse kicks in. She enunciates every lyric with a fierce passion all while still giving off a cybernetic disposition. The pre-chorus starts and she stops in place then motioning to the audience in particular for "Are you ready, ready, ready to go-g-g-go?" to hype them up. Finally the chorus hits and she breaks out into intense choreography, hitting every beat. She's saying the lines with such ferocity it feels as if she really will hit you like a supersonic rocket. This ferocity is ramped up even further after the bridge ends and the final chorus starts, the crowd now gone wild. As the song ends on the last "Eh-ay-yeh, oh oh oh, eh-ay-yeh" she turns around and strikes a pose. ------------------------- I have said it before and I'll say it again; Faye Shull is all about giving you something different every time. I've been waiting so long for a chance to use a sci-fi theme and this is just everything I'd want for an opening performance. The electronic disturbances at the beginning is meant to be akin to a robot being booted up for the first time. Then I used "Bionic" because it just works in so many ways. It's a high energy song with attitude that also encapsulates the power of being, and feeling, cybernetic. _______________________________________________________________ "Activate My Heart" by Natalia Kills Hunky shirtless male dancers emerge onto the stage, four of them in total. They stand in a horizontal row behind Faye. She lip-syncs a short monologue that plays as she analyzes them, looking perplexed yet fascinated. The monologue ends then the venue's lighting changes to UV lighting as "Activate My Heart" starts. Each lyric is emoted with a sense of longing and pain as Faye struggles to comprehend human emotions and desires. The audience can feel how distraught she is as the chorus hits. "Show me how to love, Show me where to start, Activate my heart" Faye is moving between the male dancers as they do sensual synchronized dance moves, the lighting making it feel like out an out of body experience. Her movements are pained as she now is starting to be overwhelmed by her desire to feel, she looks as if she is malfunctioning. Finally the dancers depart, the lighting returns to normal and the song reaches it's climax with Faye collapsed on the ground, in anguish. ------------------------- This act is all about a robot beginning to understand certain human idiosyncrasies and strive to feel love like a human can. I did the monologue (script here) at the beginning of this act to help immerse the audience into this story of Faye first encountering humans and feeling desire. This is a classic storyline found in various sci-fi stories (Data from Star Trek is an example) and I wanted to give my own twist on it. _______________________________________________________________ "I Am Not A Robot" by Marina & The Diamonds Faye is still on the floor tormented, but then "I Am Not A Robot" starts, and she turns her head towards the audience. Slowly but surely as she lips each lyric she begins to rise from the ground. The pre-chorus kicks in. "You're vulnerable, you're vulnerable You are not a robot You're lovable, so lovable But you're just troubled" With this Faye is finally standing with her head raised high, saying each line with a strong conviction. She finally lets out a smile as the chorus blasts through the venue: "Guess what? I'm not a robot, a robot" She performs the rest of the song in glee. Her body language is expressive and joyous. Her passion invites the audience in, they can practically feel Faye's revelation of human emotion. After one last dramatic emotive display of happiness in the final chorus, the song ends with Faye departing the stage. The letters displaying F A Y E shut off and the audience erupts into praise and applause. ------------------------- The final act is Faye discovering she can truly feel all emotions and that she's no longer just a robot, her feelings are as human and real as anyone else's. This entire entry has been a robot's journey of beginning, then feeling and finally understanding so I wanted this final act to feel climatic and triumphant as her feelings are finally validated. _______________________________________________________________ Category Is: Monochrome For the runway this week I have chosen my favourite colour which is blue and I'm serving you Ice Queen realness with it. My look is a bit gaudy, a bit elegant and I love it. As I walk the runway I make sure to drop my fur coat occasionally so you can see how my dress truly flatters my ice cold body. Wh{}re Yentl Quote ACT 1: I NEED A MAN Set at a karaoke club, there is some bitch at stage. Hey! Is this my turn? You want me to sing now? Okay ... (Scream) During the start of the spoken introduction, I pushed that bitch off the stage. Obviously inebriated, I didn't even noticed that one of my boob is showing. I don't care if you won't talk to me You know I'm not that kind of girl And I don't care if you won't walk with me It don't give me such a thrill And I don't care about the way you look You should know I'm not impressed Cause there's just one thing that I'm looking for And he don't wear a dress I am keeping it simple, because of how intense the rest of the performance is gonna be. I am straddling the microphone stand like it is a stripper pole, generally just being as lewd as possible. I need a man I need a man I need a man I need a man Men in suits (who are my dancers) goes to the stage with each call of "I need a man". There's a spotlight at each call too. Baby, baby, baby don't you shave your legs Don't you double comb your hair(I am playing with the first dancer's hair here) Don't powder puff just leave it rough I like your fingers bare(I am playing with second's hand here) When the night comes down I can turn it round, I can take you anywhere(I am playing with the third's chest here) I don't need love forget that stuff You know that I don't care(I am playing with the last's ass here) I need a man I need a man I need a man I need a man With each call of "I need a man", I reveal the dancer's endowment. There's a spotlight at each call too. I don't need a heart breaker, fifty-faced trouble maker Two-timing time taker, dirty little money maker Muscle-bound cheap skate, low down woman hater Triple-crossing double dater, yella bellied alligator The spotlight is on the first dancer, who is facing sideways, where I am kneeling in front of him, using his penis as a microphone. I don't care if you won't talk to me You know I'm not that kind of girl And I don't care if you won't walk with me It don't give me such a thrill The first dancer is wheelbarrowing me, and the second dancer is lying on the floor, where I am using his penis as a microphone. And I don't care about the way you look You should know I'm not impressed Cause there's just one thing that I'm looking for And he don't wear a dress To reverse gender roles, I am carrying the third dancer in a spread eagle position, where I am using his penis as a microphone. I need a man, leave me alone I need a man, don't take me home I need a man, baby you're just overblown The first three dancers are fighting over me, but I chose the fourth dancer. Hey boy, c'mon I'll take you anytime Baby, baby, baby Me and the fourth dancer leaves the stage, where I am grabbing him by the penis. ACT 2: MORE MORE MORE Me and the dancer ascend to a pink-lit stage that reeked of sweat and ejaculation, where I am riding him while we are riding a mechanical bull. We're both naked. The dancer is roped and blindfolded. Throughout the duration of the song, I am rubbing my body all over the dancer. The mechanical bull was coded to move to the beat of the song, so it will move slowly, sensually, and even fast at certain points. INTERMISSION: Waking up after, I realized that dancer stole all of my ****, clothes, fur, shoes, everything! I noticed that he left a dirty white flat sheet, so I wrapped it on my body. Walking in a creepy alleyway, I slipped on a dog poop and hit my head on a dumpster. ACT 3: WHAT KIND OF FOOL AM I? Lying on the side of the dumpster, I am tearing up. This is a great ballad by the greatest singer to ever exist, so I am acting my ass off. I am selling the pain, the regret, that I have with what happened on the side of that dumpster. During the part where she's really belting her ass off, I stand up and went to the strangers walking and is asking them the things she's singing. _______________ i'll expound it later but this is pretty much what my look is im nude and covered with gold body paint Alena Loves Quote ♥ ♥ ♥ALENA'S STORY.This is Alena's story. From heartache to surviving to being who she is now. The show is ready to start. A mysterious voice opens the show. Welcome to the fantasy.*Welcome ladies and gentlemen. You are about to witness the story of Alena Lavender Loves. A story of how she became who she is today and how she survived her struggles and became stronger than ever. How she discovered her true self.* 1/3 Alena walks to the stage in her signature cute light-pink look. The stage is colored dark blue, with a backdrop of heavy rain. She picks up the the microphone and starts talking to the audience before beginning the first part of the performance/event. Hello. Thank you so much to everyone for coming here today. It means the world to me and i am so excited to showcase you all that i have been fiercely working on. I wanted people to really know who i am, what i've gone through and how i learned to love myself and life. Life hasn't always been filled with love for me. But i am a living proof that life gets better if you don't give up on yourself nor your dreams. This show is titled Alena's Story. I would like to perform the first part of this threepart event now. Thank you and enjoy. Nicola Roberts - sticks + stones https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yHYETPdykkU Sounds of thunder start and the rain that's been playing in the backdrop of the theater starts going louder. The song which means very much to Alena begins. sticks + stones by Nicola Roberts. Couldn't you tell lies to me? Couldn't you say I'm pretty? Alena lipsycs to the first heartbreaking lyrics of the song. You can already see the emotion in her eyes as she performs to this extremely personal song. How can they hurt, words are just sounds So take your shot. Alena was bullied as a child and lived in a toxic family. She was verbally abused for so long that eventually she almost became numb to it. She couldn't imagine anyone ever loving her. She was depressed and lonely. I don't want to see that they're making it hard for me At home I cry Bet that you think that you're on your own And you've no one's hand to hold Sticks and stones Hurt just a little Wouldn't it be wrong if we're all the same? Don't surrender don't you change Sticks and stones Hurt just a little Alenas moving her hand around her shoulder as the song really starts to get to her. She's still trying her best to not breakdown during the performance because she doesn't want to dissapoint her audience. Alena remembers every single word of the song like ease. Thunder noises start getting louder as the song goes on. Sounds of rain, thunder and the audio fill the arena. Too young to buy my own bottle of vodka So I'd beg the driver please I need another How funny that I was too young for so many things Yet you thought I'd cope with being told I'm ugly Over and over I'd read it believe it Said no to the shrink I can fix me I think I got friends in my head they've got me on the mend I am pretty in my mirror, easy to pretend 17 and thought that I'd won the jackpot Seems I didn't read between the lines of this one I can't think why I could of made you so, so angry Your bullets I don't feel them come on and fire at me In the end Alena can't hold her emotions inside anymore and starts to tear up as she's lipsyncing her favorite part of the touching song. She truly is giving everything she's got to this performance and it shows on her face and body language. She's been standing at the same spot through-out the entire performance yet the people seem to just be captivated by her. Actual rain starts coming out the roof as the song is about to end. Bet that you think that you're on your own And you've no one's hand to hold Sticks and stones Hurt just a little Wouldn't it be wrong if we're all the same Don't surrender don't you change Sticks and stones Hurt just a little Hurt just a little As the song finishes Alena smiles to the audience while still crying abit because of how much the song affected her. She didn't expect the emotions to hit her that hard when she planned the performance. Alena speaks to the mic again and says she'll be back shortly to start the 2nd part of the event. ♥ ♥ ♥ 2/3 It is time to perform the 2nd part of the show. Alena walks to the stage which has changed to a sparkly golden colour as the background is now golden and filled with positive thoughts. 'You are beautiful' 'Love yourself' are just a few to mention. The font is a beautiful cursive type.She is in a new outfit which she describes as 'royal and beautiful'. It is a beautiful golden look. She picks up the mic and explains the next performance to the audience. In my life there became a part where i wanted to be happy. I didn't want to be miserable anymore. I wanted to enjoy life and fight with everything i've got in me to be proud of myself and overcome my obstacles. The first part of becoming happy was the ability to love myself. To be happy with who i am and accept myself. I wanted my dreams to come true. I wanted to make my mark in the world and become a strong person. This song i am about to perform is the perfect message to everyone in the world. You are beautiful and incredible in your own way. Alena puts down the mic and the music starts. Christina Aguilera - Beautiful https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eAfyFTzZDMM Every day is so wonderful Then suddenly it's hard to breathe. Now and then I get insecure From all the pain, I'm so ashamed. Alena starts lipsyncing to the song with a smile on her face. She is overjoyed with happiness. She is living her dream. She is performing to a huge audience and is able to share her story with everyone. She is moving her hands around her hair as she is moving around the stage showing her love to everyone in the audience. I am beautiful no matter what they say. Words can't bring me down. I am beautiful in every single way. Yes, words can't bring me down... Oh no. So don't you bring me down today.You are beautiful no matter what they say Words can't bring you down....oh no You are beautiful in every single way Yes, words can't bring you down, oh, no So don't you bring me down today... She is expressing the feeling of the song thru her hands, face, body. She is living the song and you can just feel her living her dream and being on top of the world. No matter what we do (no matter what we do) No matter what we say (no matter what we say) We're the song inside the tune Full of beautiful mistakes And everywhere we go (and everywhere we go) The sun will always shine (the sun will always, always shine) And tomorrow we might wake on the other side As this part of the song comes on golden glitter starts raining down the roof and Alena is making sure everyone can see her lipsync to each word of the song, even in the backrow. The song ends and Alena picks up the mic and thanks everyone in the audience from the bottom of her heart. I will be right back with the final part of this show! See you guys in a few minutes, i love you all! ♥ ♥ ♥ 3/3 Alena returns to the stage which now has cute pink hearts moving around on a yellow backdrop. Her final look is a super cute yellow teddybearcandy dress. She is the happiest she has even been in her life as she picks up the mic and explains the final part of the show to the excited audience. The final part of the show is dedicated to the person i am now. I am happy. I found love and the colorful personality of mine just exploded as i was able to love myself and be who i truly am. I got on to ADR and now i am here. In front of a huge audience being able to perform. That to me is everything i ever truly wanted in my life. To perform. To let the fire i've always had in my heart out and set my mark on this world. Before i begin the final part of this incredible show i want to thank CitRu and Chanel for believing in me and letting me compete on this show. It truly has changed my life, so thank you! ♥ The song i am about to perform is by Kesha and it's called C'mon. This song to me is happiness. When i listen to this song i just can't stop smiling and dancing. That's why i wanted it to be the final part of this show. So C'mon let's party! Kesha - C'mon https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5Rwwqqc5Gk4 As the music starts 6 background dancers (3 men and 3 women) come to the stage to party and perform with Alena. Saw you leaning against that old record machine Saw the name of your band written on the marquee It's a full moon tonight so we getting rowdy Yeah we getting rowdy, g-g-getting rowdy Alena begins lipsyncing the lyrics with a sassy attitude filled with happiness and cuteness. She is messing around with her hair as she begings choreography with her dancers. The dance is quite simple with alot of jumping around and cute + fun hand movements. Feeling like I'm a high schooler Sipping on a warm wine cooler Hot 'cause the party don't stop I'm in a crop top Like I'm working at hooters We been keeping it PG But I wanna get a little frisky Come gimme some of that yum like a lollipop Let me set you free Alenas very flirty as she is performing the song and is doing her best to interact with the audience. She blows several kisses to the audience to showcase her love to them. The smile on her face won't stop as she is going thru the song with an ease. C'mon 'cause I know what I like And you're looking just like my type Let's go for it just for tonight C'mon, c'mon, c'mon Now don't even try to deny We're both going home satisfied Let's go for it just for tonight C'mon, c'mon, c'mon As the final chorus starts the hearts in the backdrop are becoming bigger and pink confetti starts coming from the front of the stage to the stage and audience, which hypes up the audience completely. I don't wanna go to sleep I wanna stay up all night I wanna just screw around I don't wanna think about What's gonna be after this I wanna just live right now I don't wanna go to sleep I wanna stay up all night I wanna just screw around I don't wanna think about What's gonna be after this I wanna just live right now As the final chorus is about to start Alena invites several audience members to come dance with her on the stage and have fun!

Walking down the runway i feel incredible in my jacket/dress. I do my signature hairflip as i walk to the right side of the stage and i blow CitRu a real bitter kiss for ranking me 5th last week #Too*******Much. ♥ ♥ ♥ Gladys Lohanthony Montana The Little Mermaid: A Lip-Sync Performance in Three Acts. (Note: Timestamps to videos included within each act.) Act One: The Mermaid Becomes Human. (Set to Creep by Radiohead) The applause from the audience has settled. Silence. The sound of seagulls on the beach fades in, and soon after the sound of a young man’s laughter. His laugh is hearty and pure. Suddenly, a loud splash is heard. The pitch-black stage is slowly lit in a eerie dark-blue light. The sounds of the water currents flowing and bubbles bubbling comes in. A filter on the lights of the stage perfect the illusion of being underwater. Gladys is still and silent on stage. She wears a classic clamshell bra, with a long flowy skirt. Her hair is in loose, bouncy curls. She is a mermaid deep under the sea, all alone. She holds out her hands and is holding a man’s wristwatch. The song begins, and she sings longingly to herself and to the watch. (0:00) She sings with a melancholy air about her. When she looks at the watch, she is filled with a happiness, but also an intense loneliness. She slowly looks around, unhappy with her current surroundings. (0:57) A white light shines down above her. She puts the watch on her wrist, looks up, and reaches towards the sky. You can hear the faint sound of the young man’s laugh again. A sound she can’t get out of her head. The light slowly goes out above her. She laments about her current life. (1:40) A spotlight goes on Gladys and she continues to sing with a passion and fire. (2:12) While she’s riffing and running, the lights on stage morph into an severe purple, with neon green lights shining from below the stage. A smoke machine blasts a haze, giving the appearance of a green smoke. Gladys in now in the chamber of the Sea Witch. (3:13) She now holds a glowing conch shell in her hands. She sings into it and the shell glows brighter. Interspersed with the chorus, you can hear the laughter of a woman. It’s sounds faint, feminine, and strangely pretty. It is the laugh of the Witch. Gladys bends over in pain and drops the conch. She has now sold her soul to the witch. (4:03) As the final chorus starts, Gladys’ dress falls to her feet, revealing a shell bikini, and her long, beautiful legs. She has transformed from a mermaid into a human. The lights gradually change from a deep-blue to a bright sky-blue, symbolizing Gladys’ rise to the surface The sound of the ocean waves grow louder and louder as Gladys sings from her heart one last time. Suddenly, a splash. Gladys freezes as her eyes turn to awe. (4:33) On the final line of lyrics “I don’t belong here”, the backdrop changes to a beach. Gladys is now on land. Blackout. Act Two: The Mermaid And Her Prince: From Beginning to End. (Set to I’m Your Baby Tonight by Whitney Houston) After a minute of applause, the music immediately kicks in, loud and brassy. The lights are an orange shade. In the backdrop, you can see a city, and the window lights gleam like stars. Gladys is in a beautiful Maroon dress. A male dancer joins her on stage, he is dressed a white button-down shirt and black pants. Gladys looks focused, yet joyous. The male has an air of naivety about him. She starts the song by looking at no one but him. (0:20) She is flirtatious and confident, completely in love. From behind her back, she pulls out his watch and places it on his wrist; he is surprised but overjoyed. (0:38) As we reach the first chorus, the two begin to dance together. The prince twirls and spins Gladys in a tango, and they are perfectly in sync. (0:55) However, as the second verse begins, Gladys begins to take the initiative in their dance. Gradually, as the song (and their relationship) progresses, the mermaid’s love transforms into an unhealthy obsession. The lights slowly change from a calm yellow to a harsh red. She holds him with her hands tightly and roughly, and her expression is crazed. She leads the dance together, twirling and spinning him. (1:47) When the chorus begins again, Gladys pushes him down to the floor. She attempts to seduce him with flexible kicks and swaying hips. Her gentleness gone, she straddles him on the floor and attempts to kiss him. She is pleading, hungry, and desperate. He attempts to escape, but Gladys grasps his arm with force. She sings the lyrics, begging for him to stay. (2:22) However, the Prince is confused and frightened. He pulls his arm away and runs, and Gladys ends up pulling the watch off of his arm. She continues to dance solo, pretending she has a partner. (2:42) With twirls, dips, and jumps, Gladys' dance is mesmerizing. She is beautiful, and yet pitiable. She stops dancing and faces the audience with a manic energy. She sings out all of her emotions to the crowd. (3:22) After the climax of the song at (3:40), the sound is drowned out by the sound of the ocean waves. However, they are much more violent than before. Gladys is frozen on stage. A white light makes the front stage shine, bringing focus to the new couple while keeping Gladys in the dark. A light and slow piano version of Creep’s chorus plays, almost like a lullaby. The prince and the woman dance a tender duet. The prince looks as happy as he did at the beginning of the act. We not only hear the prince’s laugh, but also the woman’s. The woman has the same laugh as the witch. The two dance around Gladys, and then exit the stage. The lights slowly dim to a Blackout. Act Three: The Mermaid Drowns. (Set to Pretty Funny from the musical Dogfight) A beach at dusk is the backdrop. Gladys is in the middle of the stage, despondent. Her cheeks are stained with mascara tears. She stares out into the audience, looking at the ocean, but also past it. (0:24) She looks down at her dress and his watch on her wrist. She takes off the watch and holds it up and sings to it with a expression of anguish. (1:34) She fake-throws the watch in the midst of the crowd, watching it sink into the ocean. She looks to the ground and picks something up. It’s the conch from the witch. Clouds ascend over her and thunder rumbles. The lighting on stage turns an ugly gray. Gladys controlled pain simmers and bubbles into a rage and a deep madness (2:26) She smashes the conch that houses her soul onto the ground. She sings straight to the audience, running around with flailing arms. We hear the sounds of the ocean flare up. The backdrop fades and the lights revert back to the original dark-blue lighting with the ocean filter. This symbolizes Gladys returning back down to the ocean. A sprinkler overhead pours water over her. The water raining down on her causes her dress to disintegrate. Bubbles float midair across the stage, Gladys is in a nude swimsuit, giving the illusion of nakedness. (3:11) She is sobbing quietly at this point, overtaken with emotion. Her mascara is running now, a color of deep red that signifies blood. Gladys sinks to the floor, and finds the watch at her feet. A small, white light shines above her. She tendering sings the final verse of the song while looking at the sky. With the lyrics, she vents in anger one last time about her prince, the witch, this tragedy, and herself. (3:56) With her final words, Gladys lays down on the floor. The sounds of ocean grow louder, and you can hear the chorus of Creep playing quietly, very glitched out. You can also her the faint sound of the witch’s laugh. Then comes the sound of the mermaid’s heartbeat. Everything else fades away except the sound of the heartbeat, which gradually slows down. The white light slowly extinguishes. With the final heartbeat, we get a Blackout. Afterword (My Explanations): Having free reign to do whatever I liked with this challenge was nerve-wracking for me. I was unsure for a while about what I wanted to do, and kept cycling through numerous songs. Eventually, I finally thought of doing this concept of retelling a fairy-tale like The Little Mermaid. I wanted to really push myself this week. I wanted to do something interesting and unique, and challenge myself to think outside of the box. I’m a theatre kid at heart, and once I came up with the idea, I took it and ran with it. I came up with the concept first, and outlined it. Afterwards, I decided on the songs and added them in place and edited from there. The hardest part turned out to be the editing of the paragraphs. Being a lip-sync show with no dialogue or script (other than the titles for each act), I needed to rely heavily on lights, set, acting, and choreo to tell my story, as well as the music of course. I needed to show how my performance would work on a stage, so I kept story details to a minimum. This is the kind of show that would play at a cabaret bar, or even a Broadway theater. My hope is that I’ve written my performance well enough that you are able to fill in the blanks in the story that I had to leave out with Gladys’ emotions and actions, as well as the stage itself. Radiohead’s Creep opens Act One, and was the second song I ended up choosing. I needed a song to sort of set the tone for the show, and I felt this was a perfect opener. I picked PostModern Jukebox’s cover because I needed a female’s voice, but also because I felt it captured the emotions of the song very well, and told you what kind of character the mermaid was. Lyrically, it shows how the mermaid feels like a fish out of water in her world and wants more. In essence, this is a pessimistic substitute for Part Of Your World. For the first act, this is Gladys' outfit. The dress is decorated with sequins that are made to look like scales. With a classic clamshell bra adorned with pearls, Gladys looks the quintessential mermaid. She has blue hair extensions with her wig, and she has makeup around her body that look like gills (her neck and the sides of her waist) and scales (her shoulders.) I did this to give her more of an otherworldly feel. Finally, she has the solid-silver Armani watch that belongs to her prince. At the climax of the song, Gladys drops her dress to reveal a bikini bottom that matches her top. I’m Your Baby Tonight opens Act Two. This was the last song I chose and the hardest one to find. I knew I needed one sort of high-energy dance number in the middle of the show, but I couldn’t decide on which. This is the part in the show that goes through the mermaid and the prince’s entire relationship, and I needed a good song that fit. I thought about doing a diva’s song and eventually settled on Whitney. Thematically, the song sounds very brassy and cool and sort of off-kilter, the perfect vibe I wanted. Lyrically, it allows the mermaid to profess how much she wants the prince in every way, and I built on that with her “evolution”. I ended the show with a song from the musical Dogfight: Pretty Funny. This was the first song I picked, and it was one of the first songs I thought about using even before I came up with my concept. A heartbreaking ballad to end the show, it’s a perfect showcase for acting abilities. Lyrically, the song kind of juxtaposes the story I’ve told, with the mermaid lamenting about how she feels she’s like the victim in this story and how hurt she is. However, I like this juxtaposition because it shows her thought process and a glimpse into how she really feels. The end of the show also shows how aware she is of her mistakes. I wanted to mirror the original ending to the Hans Christian Andersen story with the mermaid dying, which is why I chose to make it so Gladys’ dress crumbles when water touches it. I wanted to have one final shocking moment that would leave a lasting impression. Gladys' outfit for the second and third acts is a maroon dress. It's a floor-length gown that has ruffles underneath, which gives it volume when she spins and twirls. Gladys wears matching lace gloves that are decorated with flowers. Her dress is also has flower designs all-throughout. Her makeup and hair stay the same as before, however her blue extensions were taken out and her hair covers the gill makeup on her neck and shoulders. Underneath the dress, Gladys wears a basic red pump that is perfect for dancing in. At the climax of the finale, water rains down on Gladys, and her dress and gloves completely disintegrate from the water. Underneath, Gladys has a nude swimsuit top and bottom to give the illusion of nakedness, and her gill and scale makeup cover her legs. Runway: My first thought when I heard the runway theme was the magical girl genre. For those not in the know, most magical girl shows are the female equivalent of male-oriented shows like the Power Rangers. The members are each color coded with somewhat matching outfits. So, I went with a Sailor Moon sort of inspiration. I specifically thought about Mercury and Neptune, since their powers are based on Water and it was in theme with my performance. I have on a long robe, and the lower have is made to look like the feathery fins of a fish. (This took inspiration of the Goldeen dress Misty wore in an episode of Pokémon.) The idea of this coat is that went I strut down the runway, it looks and ripples like the waves of the ocean. Underneath this robe, I have on a swimsuit that accentuates a tuck so tight, Trinity Taylor would be left breathless. I have on latex boots and gloves, which give off more of a Power Rangers feel. On the chest of my dress, I have a ridiculously huge bow, the centerpiece being a sapphire the size of my head. Finally, I sewed about 50 bundles of wigs together to create this wig that belongs to a goddess. My head alone weighs about 50 pounds, but I'm able to keep my head balanced! I hope you all enjoy my enjoy this week as much as I do! Spoiler @Lémur @Buddy! @DripDrip @Kylie Jenner @Rhisiart @Alena @True Skarlet @EJQL8 @Aciid @Moonchild @jpow
Citrus Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 _____________________________________________________________________________________________________ Episode 6 - The Entries 2 Lola Cabezas x Here I am, my classic Mickey’s West Hollywood Performance. I wanna have fun with the crowd and I want them to live to these classic songs. I’ve always had a particular curiosity for all things evil, after all Lola does one day want to freeze over hell and then rule it. This particular lip sync style shows a bit of my humorous side as well as keeping my signature love for fantasy. Plus the use of spoken word is so underused that I love incorporating them into my style. A perfect way to begin my set, using all the tricks and stops I love. A typical Lola performance. “I begin the song really proper and fair in my beautiful home makers dress and my head scarf. I’m all tender, like I’m waiting for my husband to come home. My spoken word is tight as I do the intro to the song. I begin the jazzy tune of “I Wanna Be Evil” by Rhene Marie with claw like movements and doing evil grins. When the music picks up, its the scene of the evil queen making her potions to transform into the evil queen. I roll a table out and I’m about to mix my cocktail potion of age. Mummy dust is the rim around the shot glass, the black of night is a lovely shock of Jack Daniels. When she says an old hags cackle, I hold it against an auidence member so they can do their own cackle. When it says SCREAM of fright I pull out a picture of Donald Trump and show the audience of it so they can all be part of the potion. I take a huge sip, and begin my transformation. As the thunder and wind is blowing I begin tearing off my dress and rip my head scarf off to reveal my new wicked bitch look. Finally with one last scream we’re at the last song, “I Put A Spell on You” I am fully sure the crowd is living for this like I am, an ANTHEM. Crowned with my horns I’m giving you evil queen realness. Camping the house down like no other.” x (Listen Without Earbuds Pls) I have this big admiration for old glamour and I love the beauty the era had, it was so delicate but there was such a hint of sadness to it. I want to have my next performance be set in a small cabaret type bar, a different vibe from Mickey’s West Hollywood. I want this performance to serve the typical Lola style of storytelling. This is about a Hollywood starlet, who fears aging because she feels her lover will no longer stay with her. It’s a somber type of lip sync but I chose it because I wanna give the judges a sense of emotion. Emoting is such a powerful tool when done right and I feel like this performance can show off that skill. “The stage is dimly lit, the piano rolls in, my back is to the crowd as I am sitting in a pre-set vanity. I start a bit playful, powdering my nose, spraying some perfume and doing the signature Lola spoken word. Then the song grows a little somber and I turn around to fully face the crowd. The sadness is in my eyes, I stare into the distance for a bit. Then when the song gets cheery, I regain my disposition and begin the cheery tune of the song again. Moving around gayly in my lovely elegant bathroom. I speak to the crow a bit, and recite Eartha Kitt’s amazing monologue of Love & Compromise. The lights dim even more and I snatch my robe off and reveal a beautiful glittery tight dress. The latter part of my performance begins. I begin lip syncing to Lana Del Rey’s “Young & Beautiful”. Once it gets to the bridge where it sings “Dear lord when I get heaven, please me bring my man” I being to slide open a part of my dress slowly as I mouth the words. When it gets to “he makes me shine like diamonds” a bunch of blood red diamonds begin to pour out of the cut in the dress. Sasha Velour is gonna steal this idea, watch.” x Finally, we are at my final performance. The ultimate Lola experience. My entire aesthetic and persona is a princess themed drag character. I’m always peeved when people give Disney Princesses flack, low key because all of them are wonderful role models for young girls. Plus, I’m a huge advocate for feminism. I want to give all that in this performance, drag is a platform and I want to show that. So let's get into this Beyonce x Disney Princess performance! "The performance starts with the intro, some girl ranting about Disney Princesses. The video cuts off to me walking on stage, in my ball gown Princess look, veil in all. As the song starts, I rip the veil down and reveal myself. I start doing my performance to flawless, a perfect song to tell this girl off. Once it gets to the monologue from Mulan, a spotlight appears on me, as he's speaking flower petals begin to fall over me. At the end, the lights cut off and they reappear as we begin "Formation", because the Princesses are about to get into formation, before that though Walt himself has a few words for that. We're about to be transported into a fairytale journey. As I emotionally belt out famous princess songs about wanting to be free, fighting for what they believe for and proving to that girl from the start that these princesses are much more then damsels wanting to **** a prince. Switching up my persona as each princess sings her song, until we finally get to "Let It Go". As it gets to the "here I stand" line, I rip my dress off to reveal this fierce body cage suit and we dive into the last part of the performance. For those thinking Lola isn't high energy she is going to give everything in the finale, performing "Run The World". Giving everything I got, reminding everyone in the crowd who is on top. Finally we get into the "Who are we, what do we run" part of the song where I'm joined on stage with each Disney Princess and begin to serve K-Pop in sync dancing." _____________________ This was probably one of the harder runways for me, because I'm actually colorblind so picking out one color with multiple shades to do for a look was a nightmare waiting to happen, so then I thought why not just wash everything out and make it gray. So here I am serving this ghost bride inspired look. Of course I would walk out covered in chains and the dress may be a bit more tattered but I am here to haunt the runway. Wearing an amazing head piece of a hat that I chose to give it a more classic Victorian era look. Boo! Colleen Quote A PERFORMANCE BY COLLEEN RADIOHEAD - CREEP At sixteen, I was a nobody. I stand on the stage encased in a glass tube. It’s a spinning podium beneath my feet and I turn every few seconds to the beat of Creep by Radiohead. The buzz of the arena slowly dwindles, silence taking a firm hold on the audience. Everything is pitch black, darker than a winter night; a single spotlight is shone onto my set which gives my being a haunted feel, a ghostly glow. My face is cadaverous – make up done to make myself look weak, feeble, skinny. No longer a human and more a ‘thing’; it’s what they used to call me. WHEN YOU WERE HERE BEFORE COULDN’T LOOK YOU IN THE EYE YOU’RE JUST LIKE AN ANGEL YOUR SKIN MAKES ME CRY I sit inside the tube, slowly revolving. A numb body and skeletal features, I mime the words of the song as if my self-worth has been robbed of me and left to die in a colder place. My knees are tucked into my chest and the words are squeezed out when I pull them closer. My head runs wild with thoughts of extreme beauty, but expectations are difficult to meet when I have been reduced to nothing more or less than ‘other’. My heart crawls. YOU FLOAT LIKE A FEATHER IN A BEAUTIFUL WORLD AND I WISH I WAS SPECIAL YOU’RE SO ****IN’ SPECIAL The love I have isn’t the usual. I look to the audience wearing a blank facial expression. There is desire in my eyes; to be like them, to be the good and not the bad and ugly. To be part of the crowd and not an outsider – I feel like it is all I’ve ever wanted. I rise to my knees for this part of the song, pressing my face against the glass as I continue to turn endlessly. It begins to obscure my face with the fog from my breath and so I raise a claw to rub it away, a dragged handprint left in the condensation. a projection of his own inferiority -- of everything within. BUT I’M A CREEP, I’M A WEIRDO WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE? I DON’T BELONG HERE The spinning comes to an end, and I stop facing the audience. The spotlight intensifies, emphasising my bone structure, casting shadows beneath my eyes and cheeks. I close my eyes and stand on my feet, my face feeling the words of the song. The fingers of my left hand crunch, rolling around the glass tube’s surface. A harsh frown when I wonder why I am here, what I did to deserve such pain – my fingers crawl into my mouth. Frantically shaking my head, my eyes dart left and right at the final line of the chorus as if I am losing my mind. In some ways, I suppose I am. I DON'T CARE IF IT HURTS I WANT TO HAVE CONTROL I WANT A PERFECT BODY I WANT A PERFECT SOUL My hands pull my hair up and down, the hurt of such action being clearly portrayed in the white light. Headaches and empty bottles and I’ve lost myself – a strong hunger for control is what I craved. I tilt my head back, hands running over my lower body in a spontaneous way before working their way up to my chest where they freeze on my left side and come together. Fingers linked, I act out pulling my heart and holding it in my palms. I WANT YOU TO NOTICE WHEN I'M NOT AROUND YOU'RE SO ****IN' SPECIAL I WISH I WAS SPECIAL Hands holding a metaphorical heart, I slowly stretch it apart bringing my hands closer to my head until they rest on my eyes. My fingers repeatedly form a claw against my hair with each pulse of the music, each beat. My mouth scrunches together just before I deliver the line ‘I wish I was special’. Clenched jaw, the words are forced through grit teeth which cut them up into chunks which pack an emotional punch. BUT I'M A CREEP, I'M A WEIRDO WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE? I DON'T BELONG HERE As the strong rock guitar kicks in, blood is pumped into the bottom of the tube. I mouth the words, ignoring the rising red liquid to focus on conveying the passion in the words. The arena lights up quickly with strobe lighting effects. My movements mimic those of a stop motion as I press fists against the glass trying to break it – it doesn’t work. I’m on the verge of tears when the song flows into the bridge. SHE’S RUNNING OUT THE DOOR SHE’S RUNNING OUT SHE’S RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN RUN Heartache and anger. The high vocals make me roll my neck and head to the rhythm, slowly getting faster. My mouth opens wide, eyes flashes from place to place, finding a unique spot in the arena with each flash of the bright white lights. The big note comes – the blood rising to my stomach and lights freezing – I begin to claw against the glass in an attempt to escape. My feet try to grip against it, I try to climb out but nothing works and they just slip down. Bloody handprints and footprints litter the glass now, and my face is a call to arms; it is scary and gives off a fractured kind of sadness that is married with madness. WHATEVER MAKES YOU HAPPY WHATEVER YOU WANT YOU’RE SO ****IN’ SPECIAL I WISH I WAS SPECIAL BUT I’M A CREEP I’M A WEIRDO WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE? I DON’T BELONG HERE I DON’T BELONG HERE The blood creeps up to my neck. I lip sync the words with a sense of desperation and tiredness, as if there is a weight in my lungs. My hand pulls the left side of my face down, exposing the flesh beneath my eyelid, leaving a red dripping handprint. The right side is soft and solemn – eye closed, mouth flat and a natural brow. It is a stark contrast to the other side that tells a tale of brutality, loneliness and lack of belonging. I bash a fist against my head once, twice, thrice – four times as the last couple lines of the song play. The music fizzles out, the vocals weakening and eventually, I stop lip syncing. The arena roars and screams. But it isn't enough for me; I need more validation and more security. I need to fit the mould, I need to, I have to. I don't want to be a monster. I am lifted from the tube of blood with invisible wires. My body is dripping with the liquid as I am pulled into the heights of the arena. It is dark whilst I am quickly lowered out of sight and hurried into my next outfit. Blonde hair embraces dried blood; it is a reminder of the past before this present. I walk onto the stage again, the large screens zooming in on my face. Shock forms in dark clouds in my eyes and they threaten to rain havoc. Lightning strikes at my nerves – pain, sure, but it is a different kind now. It slices through my core, burning violently in my chest. I take a breath of the sparked blunt and then comes the release, the inhalation and the freedom. It’s all I can think about, all I want and everything I need. It has control. FKA TWIGS - TWO WEEKS The instrumental booms in, the deep sounds pulsing through my body. I have lost control; body and feeling taken over by the sweeping sensation given by my highs. I remember the feeling – the pressure from my peers to spark a blunt and inhale. The screens behind me are dominated by optical illusions that twist and turn, they are an image that describes how I am feeling. My legs are shoulder-width apart and my hands are on my hips; with the vibrations of the music, I shake every part of my body quickly to fit the rhythm of the song. The vocals chime in and it begins. I seethe. I KNOW IT HURTS My hands feel my chest, my shoulders before sliding down to my hips. I drop into a squat, rotating my hips and swinging my weight between my two feet. I resort back to the original position with my hands on my hips, energetically pulsating to the song’s instruments. YOU KNOW I’D QUENCH THAT THIRST With each word, my hips swing to the side, hands quickly moving to hold a different part of my body. My head is flipped left and right with my hips, my hair becoming one with the wind for a moment or two. My lips quickly match the words of FKA twigs’ song whilst I deliver my tight choreography. (I CAN TREAT YOU BETTER THAN THE) YOU SAY YOU’RE LONELY Pivoting on my right heel, I bring my knee towards the other. My arms are above my head, bent around my neck. My hands flutter before my left creeps to the back of my neck and the right slithers to my crotch. Hips swinging slowly, I roll onto my tiptoes. I SAY YOU’LL THINK ABOUT IT I bend at the waist, body rolling as I mouth the words. A hand comes out and pulls me to the right to spin; I face the other way now, moving my rear to the sound. My hands form fists and are held on my hip bones. CAUSE YOU’RE THE ONLY They come up and I spin twice before stomping my foot down and whipping my hair back. I pop my shoulder, leaning backwards slightly before moving onto the next line. ONE WHO RESONATES THAT CHASTE, MOUTH OPEN LIKE (HIGH) I stick a single finger out before dropping to my knees as the words are played, then dropping onto my side. I slowly get lower with each word. On ‘resonates’, I am lying on my front. A syllable later and I bring an arm and leg into my chest. My head flicks up, fingers wiping my mouth before I roll to turn away from the audience. My legs are apart but I dip my head back and roll my neck steadily as the chorus hits. HIGHER THAN A MOTHER****ER, DREAMING OF YOU AS MY LOVER (HIGH) Sliding across the floor, I rise to a higher position on my knees. Hands on my chest, it quickly pops to the song before I throw the upper half of my body back like it has died. It quickly comes back to life and rises again, before I throw myself forwards onto the ground, extending my left leg into the air. It bends suddenly before I turn over and bend to a position where my knees are in my chest. FLYING LIKE A STREAM OF THUNDER, ONLY WAY TO DO EACH OTHER (HIGH) My hands crawl backwards and I push myself up into a bridge. I push up from this, now standing on my feet where I face away from the audience. I pirouette, pushing my hands out as I come to a stop where they vibrate up and down as my hips did in the beginning. PULL OUT THE INCISOR AND GIVE ME TWO WEEKS, YOU WON’T RECOGNISE HER My arms move upwards, my feet stomping into the ground as I walk backwards moving my hips. My mouth mimics the lyrics of the song, face painting a dreamy looking face but my mind is elsewhere – head in the clouds. MOUTH OPEN, YOU’RE HIGH Hands over my mouth, my shoulders jet out creating harsh angles. My hands come apart and I turn, descending to the ground. I hit my first drug – a gateway. I’ve never felt like this, seen these things and heard these calls. Head spinning, it begins to settle after the sparked cigar burns out and I am full of smoke. Clouded eyes and clouded mind; I remember feeling careless, weightless, as if flying was an option and a reality. I wanted it to last forever because the feeling was such a release from the insecurities and chains that bound me to my harsh world. Lying on the floor, the next song begins to play. My face looks enlightened and easy, soft and dreamy. At sixteen, I was high - I was somebody. LOREEN - EUPHORIA The hard music wakens me from the ground, my body rising slightly as the light come up. The arena’s screens show a fairytale world that is what childhood dreams are made of. I smile as I count myself in; this happiness is one like no other. WHY, WHY CAN’T THIS MOMENT LAST FOREVERMORE? I pick up a green leaf from the stage, staring at it longingly as I mouth the words to the song. My head tilts as I sing the question – I wonder when this paradise will go. If it will go, and if it does, where will it go? Man, I don't care. I just know that I'm not a creep right now, I'm not a weirdo. I love it. TONIGHT, TONIGHT ETERNITY’S AN OPEN DOOR… My arms bend and fracture with the songs beat. Eyes wide and awake, I look around the arena and a beaming smile glows on my face. Anything is possible now; I’m not a nobody, an outsider. I’m somebody, I have a reason to be. Life doesn’t discriminate against me anymore for I have found a way to escape it. High, God, I hope I never come down. NO, DON’T EVER STOP DOING THE THINGS YOU DO. DON’T GO, IN EVERY BREATH I TAKE I’M BREATHING YOU… I crawl around the stage, the lights above casting shadows at my sides which mirror my movements. Lips moving in time with the lyrics, I feel the nirvana that comes with taking a breath. Pure relief and joy on my face; nothing could ever beat this. I tilt my head up and back, closing my eyes for a moment. EUPHORIA Water cascades down from above, cleansing my body of the dried blood from my earlier performance. Gone are the past days, I welcome the present with open arms, open legs and an open mouth. FOREVER, TILL THE END OF TIME My arms extend through the waterfall, my hands rolling through the water at my wrists to create soft imagery for the audience. My fingers flow with the rhythm of Loreen’s song, pushing and pulling and bringing the droplets of water with them. FROM NOW ON, ONLY YOU AND I WE’RE GOING UP-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP I push my whole body through the waterfall, soaking myself with the rain until I am free of my old self. I possess a dreamy look still, shoulders turning and twisting as my arms continue to swirl and dance like there are an entity separate from my body. EUPHORIA My neck strains as I sing the word but my face is still soft and gentle, expressing the immense feeling of relief felt after the first inhalation. AN EVERLASTING PIECE OF ART A BEATING LOVE WITHIN MY HEART WE’RE GOING UP-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP I step onto my feet, my bare body showing no scars or wounds previous. I am dripping wet; my hair drips down my body and when I whip it aside, the droplets catch the light and become sparkles that drop after being suspended in the air for a second or two. WE ARE HERE, WE’RE ALL ALONE IN OUR OWN UNIVERSE, WE ARE FREE, WHERE EVERYTHING’S ALLOWED AND LOVE COMES FIRST FOREVER AND EVER TOGETHER, WE SAIL INTO INFINITY, WE’RE HIGH AND HIGHER AND HIGHER, WE’RE REACHING FOR DIVINITY My hands spread apart, before I point a finger and sweep it across the entire audience. The screen behind me changes so that clouds fly past us. The colours start dark and fade slowly into their brighter selves. I kick the puddles on the stage around in time with the clashes in the instrumental, creating drama on stage that makes my heart feel more alive than ever before. It was how it was in my head; the focus of the room, the needle in the haystack that everyone was drawn to. EUPHORIA My arms spread as if they are wings and I mimic the motion of flying. Hazy look on my face, I have the eyes of a dreamer. Glassy but happy, I feel like this is the place where I belong. FOREVER, TILL THE END OF TIME FROM NOW ON, ONLY YOU AND I WE’RE GOING UP-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP The light in the arena now comes from below, casting tall shadows onto the cloudy screens. They gradually get larger each time my lips mouth to say the word ‘up’. Eventually, two shadows tower over me from behind. But I don’t care – I’ve reached my peak, I’m on cloud nine. EUPHORIA AN EVERLASTING PIECE OF ART A BEATING LOVE WITHIN MY HEART WE’RE GOING UP-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP-UP I smile with every word, feeling the freedom and tingling sensation that delivers me to heaven from hell. I don’t need any statements to pull me down: no bullies or jealous folk can ever pull me from this. My arms work in time with the ‘up’s, and when the music stops, I freeze in my current position. A bright line is shone onto me and I fall forwards sharply. The crowd goes wild, again and my heart races. Pulse like a drumbeat in my head, I remember being sixteen with mixed feelings. I’d experienced my first high – I hate myself. I should’ve known that with every high, there is a low. And so, at sixteen, I was somebody, sure, but I was somebody who had found a new low. COLLEEN For this look, I wanted to look at relatively neutral colours like nude, beige, brown and gold. My look is a collection of all four in various shades. My slicked down hair with gold roots is laced with brown, dusty moths and butterflies which gives my outfit a surreal edge. My dress look ethereal and as if it is from a bygone era. It looks like it smells like an old book; the ruffles each telling a story of their own. My skin is covered in gold - face lathered whilst my chest and arms are painted with dripping streaks of the substance that contrasts against my pale nude skin. On the runway, I tell a narrative with the outfit. It's beautiful, in my eyes at least, and shows a unique portrait of Colleen that was perhaps lacking previously. I move like a royal lady who has escaped a painting before leaving the runway with a crooked smile. Stone Quote Stone is not your average lip-syncing queen. She's no dancer nor is she some high energy performer, but where she lacks she makes up for it in stage presence and facial dramatics. Stone is truly a fashion queen, and she knows that and she works it. Stone uses her body and fashion as props, as well using her unique style to make a statement with a song. She's a skilled performer in the sense where she knows how to work her body. Stone loves to perform how she's feeling in that moment. Her personal life crosses into her performances and vice versa. Props on stage are also a must. Stone loves to perform alone, but she uses audience members from time to time because to her, everyone came to have a good time, so why not give it to them. Set scene: Club. It's just a plain stage with a glitter background and a disco ball in the middle. Stone, on stage, calls out to the audience "Anyone want a blowjob!" Of course gays want sex and stuff like that so there's multiple volunteers. She chooses an audience member at random as a prop. Music starts, She starts off her lip sync on stage, singing to 'Dancing on my own" by Robyn. Stone slowly sings "im in the corner watching you kiss her ohhh ohhh" as she looks down on her audience member dancing with another mans. However, stone knows she's gonna get him (not because he's a volunteer or anything LOL!) because she looks SICKENING. She's noticeably tearing up as she sees the man she wants all over another guy. "I keep dancing on my ownnnn" she mouths. Still teary eyed, lips quivering. However, she clenches her fist in a rage. Her face shows anger with a desire to capture this guy "I'm giving it my all but i'm not the gal you're taking home" She looks up at the light, as the stage darkens into a dark red tint. Stone gets off stage as she continues to mouth the chorus. She walks up the the guy, pushes the other man out of the way (he's a hired male dancer, btw) and grabs him, singing a adding her own lyrics to the song; "i'm not in the corner, you're gonna kiss mee ohhh ohh ohhh" *FINAL CHORUS* and she leans in and kisses him. The room goes dark and and the curtain closes, as Stone and the volunteer sneak onto the stage. Song choice and reasoning: "Dancing on my own"- Robyn. I chose this song because, well, for starters it's one of my personal favorites. Its such a cliche gay bop and it's a huge song in the gay community. This song was the song I wrote down in my application as my dream song to lip sync to. It's such a great song to lip sync to because it can be conveyed in so many different ways, such as what I wrote about. My idea was that inner shyness you have when meeting a guy at the club. We all know gays are always climbing on top of one another at the club. But as stone goes on about wanting to meet this guy and talk to him, he's with another man. She's lost and confused and wants him, in more than just a regular meet and greet kinda way. However, with a twist, with adding new lyrics I wanted to make sure she got ha mans, and like a sickening bitch she did! Performance look: He's in your bedroom/you're sexing him up Stage, Set: Black Bed in the middle of the stage covered in flowers, candles all around. Curtain opens with Stone dressed in night gown couture, and the volunteer in ha underwear. (hopefully no skid marks okurrrr) Music starts slowly playing, Stone starts mouthing the lyrics to 'Chocolate' by Kylie Minogue. "Fragile seams, I opened up too quick and all my dreams, Were walking out I'd slowly lost my fire, With every single man a river cried I had no sensation, Completely numb, left with no satisfaction, I thought no one could ever get me high again, I swear, I was not looking " Stone looking directly at her man and looking at the crowd periodically, she has a sultry yet confused look on her face. She's shocked she's in this position that she's in right now. She thought she'd never be with this man, she thought he was taken. She's lipping the lyrics as she looks down, she pats her kitty kitty, slowly so that her hookup has a direct sight at what she wants. Stone slowly starts stripping off her outfit, mouthing lyrics at the same time "In a lost space come and show me, Hold me and control me and then, Melt me slowly down" Glittered confetti and pink feathers fall from the ceiling, slowly, fan on the lowest setting, blowing in Stone's hair. She busts open her bra, confetti shoots out, revealing the tasseled tit pasties. After her outfit is completely off she PULLS her man right onto her repeatedly singing "hold me and control me, melt me slowly down" right in his face. At this point stone is only in a thong and some crystals covering her outfit. She pushes her man onto the bed, she grabs him and starts kissing him grinding him all at once. She lifts her head back up, hair disheveled, and looks at the crowd, slowly gets off the bed knees on the floor, legs spread starts mouthing "Just one look boy to melt me down, Just one heart here to save me now, Your candy kisses are sweet I know, Hold me tight baby don't let go, Just one look boy to melt me down, Just one heart here to save me now, Your candy kisses are sweet I know, Hold me tight baby don't let go" She gets back up onto the bed where he's still lying down, shook. She lifts her hand and slowly moves it onto his abdomen, lifts her hand up and slowly moves it across her mouth "like chocolateeeeeee" *sticks finger into mouth seductively* Stage curtain closes. The closing scene stone is on top of her man. Song choice and reasoning: Kylie Minogue- 'Chocolate' Well this is a very sexual scene, so I thought why not pick one of Kylie's hottest songs? It's the perfect song to continue onto from dancing on my own. Stone and her man are in the bedroom, starting off with Stone being shocked that she got him here. They quickly go at it as the song steams up and Stone is feeling the fantasy of having her dream man on her bed. Chocolate is a sexual song and one of my favorite Kylie songs. She goes down on him and as the performance heats up, so does Stone. The melting chocolate represents her melting clothes, slowly coming off her body. . After the hookup and seeing one another again Performance look: Stone walks out onto the stage in a yellow night gown, strips it off into a sexy stripper/bedroom look henny. Stage set: Club stage again, this time in the middle of the audience. Hookup has passed, and Stone is in the crowd. Stone enters the main entrance onto the club dance floor, completely decked out in high fashion couture. Her assistant, Dame Rose, by her side, Stone slowly removes her jacket to reveal her designer dress. Tiddi's out and all. Head piece on full display, crowd cheers as stone walks closer to them all. She bends down on one knee as Miss Rose removes the feathered head piece, as Stone whispers in her ear "keep up the attitude or you're back to the slaughterhouse." In the background you can hear the instrumental for 'Fetish' playing. The stage light pans to Stone, who is slowly walking into the heavily crowded room, seemingly lost and saddened. Her face looks full of regret, she looks down to her hands, which are trembling, then looks back at the crowd shedding a tear. She looks and sees her hookup from the "other night", stunned, Stone starts mouthing "Take it or leave it Baby take it or leave it But I know you won't leave it 'Cause I know that you need it Look in the mirror When I look in the mirror Baby I see it clearer Why you wanna be nearer" With a seductive look on her face, she starts biting her lip. He notices her too. She looks straight into his soul, feeling something she has never felt before. They both feel this sensation, something different than what you would get from seeing someone you hooked up with. Stone continues "I'm not surprised I sympathize, ah I can't deny Your appetite, ah " Then as soon as the chorus hits, she thrusts up to him, hands locked onto his face then subsequently goes down on her knees rubbing her hands all over his torso. As she's rubbing her hands on his abs, stone continues, looking up seductively and making sexual eye contact. He's getting noticeably hard. " You got a fetish for my love I push you out and you come right back Don't see a point in blaming you If I were you, I'd do me too You got a fetish for my love " Stone starts to grind and thrust forward onto his body, rubbing her v*gina onto his hard-on. The crowd surrounding them shook to the core. Stone pushes him onto the floor, and slowly climbs up onto him. She bites the button on his pants and then continues as she looks up at him as if she's about to give good head " Reaching your limit Say you're reaching your limit Going over your limit But I know you can't quit it Something about me Got you hooked on my body Take you over and under and twisted up like origami " They get up, walking to the stage holding hands. Head light still on them, he slaps her ass and then head back up on stage, curtain closes and pink confetti mixed with water flies out into the crowd, signifying Stones orgasm. The crowd soaked, cheer with excitement. Now they won't have to worry about getting wet later. Song choice and reasoning: Selena Gomez- Fetish Another hot ass sultry bop that suits the scene and the entire performance perfectly. It ties together the entire concept, of meeting someone at a club, hooking up and finding out that you have true feelings for them. The idea is that you have a fetish for this person, no matter how much you're separated, or how many people you've seen since you last saw this person, there's just this connection that you cannot break. Just like seeing one another and just being all over one another like two mating squirrels. Obviously this has been hyper-sexualized, but there's nothing wrong with that. It's the final performance, and it's Selenas most current song so it would also translate well in a club because who wouldn't wanna listen to this brand new bopT. Performance look: Stone always makes an entrance. Feathered head piece, giant fur shall, with a heavy grunge look. Serving edgy fish. Designed by David Ferreira, the show that this outfit was presented at was called the "FreakBall" and I couldn't find it more fitting. This outfit is not a usual look that I would go for, but still has that Stone flare to it. The makeup is edgy and artsy-fartsy, but the look all together is giving you all kinda of pink. A true monochromatic runway lewk. Noah Fence Quote GUIDE 0:00-1:35 SPOKEN WORD 1: GOLDEN GATE BRIDGE 1:35-2:10 SPOKEN WORD 2: METAL STRUCTURE 2:10-4:30 TOUCH-A, TOUCH-A, TOUCH ME 4:30-5:20 SPOKEN WORD 3: CHURCH BANISTER 5:20-8:05 LIKE A PRAYER 8:05-8:50 SPOKEN WORD 4: NOAH'S FENCE 8:50-12:32 IT FEELS SO GOOD It’s a Wednesday night at a seedy club in Boystown. The air smells like weed and ass. The room is full of people from all walks of life: twinks, bears, subways dads, you name it. They’re all getting ready to a show… er… like no other. “This should be okay at least!” Chanel whispers into her boyfriend’s ear. They had lost their double sided dildo and so they were looking for something to do. All through the audience, there was a sense of “...well, I might as well stay, I heard Koko Khalyan is doing Tell It to My Heart next,” and “I just hope this beats masturbating in my room all night and crying.” It was Noah’s most enthralled audience yet. The stage lights slowly rise, slightly flickering, and Noah appears center stage, holding a framed picture of the Golden Gate Bridge and a piece of scrap metal. Innocuous documentary background music plays as Noah grips the picture and metal tightly, swaying side to side with a huge grin on her face. Soon, the first spoken word passage begins. “I am a woman, and this is a bridge,” Noah mouths, looking inspired and on the verge of happy tears as she holds the picture of the bridge up and shakes it. “And despite our vast differences, we are very much… in love,” Noah continues, turning to the picture and gazing at it lovingly. “And our love, in itself, is no different from any love that exists between two human beings.” (Love Is Love briefly plays in the background.) “I feel very blessed to have a piece of my Golden Gate Bridge,” Noah mouths, and she licks the piece of scrap metal in her hand. As the track begins to talk about making love to “him,” Noah lip syncs along as she rubs the scrap metal against her crotch. Finally, it revealed what Noah is: an objectum sexual. Noah throws her props to the ground and runs upstage to the first scene she set up; a large, towering (given the ceilings are only 8 feet up), greasy and dirty metal structure. Noah pantomimes giggling along to the track, camping it up and running her hands over her upper body. Noah proceeds to lip sync to the track as the woman says just how she feels about this metal structure in excruciating detail, all culminating in “I want your fluids, I want your fluids, I want your fluids.” Suddenly the first song starts, Touch-A, Touch-A, Touch Me from the Rocky Horror Picture Show. Noah plays up every cadence of the melody, like making a near-orgasm expression on the melisma of “I’ve only ever kissed befo-o-oooore.” As Noah lip syncs, she strokes the metal structure, longing for it to be inside of her. With “I want to stay the distance,” Noah throws her hands above her hand and the intensity of the lipsync starts to grow. Once the first chorus hits, Noah unleashes a latch on the metal structure, causing oil to begin pouring out. As Noah spastically mouths along to the words, she takes the oil and rubs it sensually all over her body. She wants its fluids. By “creature of the night” the last of the oil has poured out onto the stage. Noah spends the second verse grinding her body against the cold metal, rubbing oil back onto its hard body. In the second chorus, Noah continues to cover herself in the slick oil, before knocking herself onto the ground and rolling around in the oil like she’s getting ****ed hard and raw, lip syncing every moan in the track. On the final hits of the song, Noah runs over to her next set-up: an imitation church. Organ music begins playing as the voice-over sets the scene. Amy is in love with a church banister. This leads into Noah’s next spoken word section on having sex with the church banister at her local church. As with all the spoken word, Noah camps it up, leaning into every nuance to the point of ludicrousy. The spoken word, of course, leads into the inevitable… Madonna’s Like a Prayer. Noah sweetly lip syncs to the first verse before going ham in the first chorus. On “I wanna take you there” Noah suddenly drops to her knees and crawls over to the church banister like the ugly, worthless slut she is. In the middle of the second verse, Noah reaches behind the banister. What could be there? the two people in the audience paying attention wonder. Noah lifts up her arm slowly, revealing it’s an enormous black strap-on dildo, and sensually attaches it to the banister. In the second chorus, Noah lip syncs directly to the strap-on, putting her face against it and jerking it off, all while her legs are strewn out across the floor of the stage, slowly moving back and forth like a horny jellyfish swimming through an ocean of jism. In the third verse, Noah stops lipsyncing completely and just sucks the dildo off, rubbing her hand up and down the shaft and cradling its balls. In the last chorus, Noah jumps to her feet!!!!!!!!! and begins riding the dildo in the middle of the club. It already smells like ass in the club so nobody notices Noah didn’t fleet beforehand, which is nice. She bounces up and down on its smooth surface, hands above her hand. The song ends suddenly, and Noah stops riding the dildo, pretending to be taken off-guard by the transition, and runs over to the next set-up: a lone, red fence with white paint on it reading “NOAH’S FENCE.” Noah immediately jumps into the last spoken word section about wanting to **** a fence. Noah again makes everything overly dramatic, doing one of those gay hand things above her head on “these angles? fabulous.” On “you are so sweet,” Noah turns to the fence and begins lightly touching her clammy man hands on its wooden structure, on the brink of orgasm. The spoken word leads seamlessly into the last song, Sonique’s It Feels So Good. This song is the most classic drag performance of the set, as Noah abandons the fence temporarily and shows off her dancing skills: doing the cabbage patch, a slut drop or two, even some tasteful popping and locking. She’s giving people who aren’t into weird drag what they want, until a minute later when she begins to have sex with the fence. She jumps up and down on it, letting the pointy top of the fence penetrate her. At the very start of the final chorus, Noah reveals her last gag. As soon as the first note hits, Noah presses down on a hidden pouch on her pelvis, and a giant puddle unleashes from her crotch. This puddle hits a white dress lying on the ground, but the dress was made with hydrochromic ink and it turns into a Golce and Bandada replica dress! Noah lipsyncs the last chorus completely shaking with post-orgasm sweats. By the end of the set, Noah is covered in oil, dirt and ***. The room remains silent except for Citrus, who gives a standing ovation and yells “Noah Fence should win Season 4 of ATRL’s Drag Race!” before Chanel shoots him from the back row. Noah runs off stage, crying. She’s never had such good audience reception before. Even though the performance is over, she orgasms again backstage, shooketh by the mere thought of an audience not booing her off stage. All is well. ---------------------- For my monochrome look, I'm serving you snake in the Garden of Eden. I'm wearing ****ing plants s a dress and a Medusa wig with slight green body makeup. My hair is venomous like my *****. In my hand I'm holding the apple from the Tree of Knowledge, and Eve's already taken a bite! Enjoy this look that ended both the purity of mankind and my run on ATRL's Drag Race Season 4.
