"Mickey and the Magical Cartographer(Map) Audition"

Well, a week, a crash diet and 10 pounds later I found myself driving through Little Mexio with 'A'.  We were heading to an audition in which I was totally unprepared for. Of course I was playing the intimidation card and puffed up with sublime "I don't really care what happens, but I know I'm gonna make it" attitude. Not to 'A', but Myself haha.

 Well I definitley wasn't in the height parameters, but I was going to be so awesome that they were going to take me regardless of my short stature.

I dragged 'A' to the second row center. You are visible, but not all stand out showy like front row center. And it was in those first few steps that a week of starving yourself just isn't helping you hack it when it comes to moving your heart out.

The choreographer called his movement Urban. I call it Latin - Bollywood with a piroutte.  And then there was a whole section where we just had to show our best stuff, and the whole time I was watching everyone else, I thought "I should not have put movement improvisation skills on my resume", because this urban, latin, bollywood, hip hop, musical theater, pirouette combination + my best skills was well...I'll just tell you.

I'm in a group of hot, sexy black chicks, and I probably looked like that one awkward white chick that can't dance. I must have looked really smooth, jumping around and trying to leap, on 500 calories. Well I was cut. They kept quite a few talented, sassy black girls...and yup still wish I could somehow channel that out of me.

Big Fail. But Big Fun. At least I wasn't as bad as this one awkward old lady in velvet jazz pants.

I ate a whole Cubano Sandwich afterwards. It was the best thing I had ever tasted.
