Just a thought actually.

Hold the descriptions unless you're Kaz/Tracy because I haven't got time to do everyone so only the main cast will be in the programme. So I need to know who the main cast are:

Cinderella
Buttons
Prince Charming
Fairy Godmother
Stepsister1 (Ptolemy)
Stepsister2 (PSD)
Stepmother (Nicky)
Baron Hardup
Fairy2 (Kaz)
Fairy1 (Tracy)

If your name is there in brackets I need your details. Or if you get cast as one of the open parts, obviously...

By the way - who am I going to be? I need suggestions. I'll be Cinders, Fairy Godmother, Prince Charming, whoever. I'm not stage-shy.

<rehearsing> "Oh yes you are!"

Didn't Sarah and Aunty Sassy both want to be Fairy Godmother? Can't we have 2? (After all Snow White had three...)

No reason at all why we can't have two fairy godmothers. After all, theoretically there's no limit to the number of godparents allowed.

I do believe I have already planted my flag on Baron Harduppe. He is a balding, fat-bellied old cove of some olde-worlde charm but no money. Often played by past-it Northern comedians.

Typecasting again.

I can be the prince's aide.

No lemonade jokes, though.

Why don't we just allocate roles and then a list of scenes, with the plot that must occur, and kind of ad-lib it? It'd be funnier, and also be more inventive...

Do the fairies get to pick on the stepsisters? I'd enjoy that.

What details exactly do you need to know, Sarah B? My bra size is 12B and my panty size is .... Oh. Not those sorts of details......

Sarah B what do you need to know?

Hair: brown & long
Eyes: blue
Height: short
Age: old enough to know better
Clothing: usually black(hides the red wine)
bra size: 38c
shoe size: 6 1/2

anything else?

I assume it's other Sarah and Auntsassy for the fairy godmothers then. And we can have as many as we like. It'll be our running joke, that there are too many fairys/fairygodmothers and too many evil relatives...

Jon - I've got you down for Baron Hardup now.

Intrigue - OK, no lemonade jokes it is.

Kaz - Yes, the good V evil thing is definitely allowed. We've got enough to go around...

PSD - The only problem with that is that you've got to get people around if you want to do it in the chat room. Or if you want to get it organised through the fforum, then I think we'll hit our 100 post limit very quickly... I like the idea of ad-libbing though. Anyone got ideas on how to make this work?

For the following people I need your hair colour, length of hair and favourite colour. Then I can get started on the pictures in my few spare minutes. Some will be easier than others - fairies easier than stepsisters for example...
Auntsassy
Sarah
Ptolemy
PSD
Nicky
Jon
Kaz
Tracy

And lastly can I be Cinderella? Does anyone mind or rather it was them?

Thanks Tracy. You shall be my first piccy!

I still need a Buttons and a Prince Charming. And those already unplaced are:
Skiffle
ilovespike
Dante
AAC

So two of you for those roles and the other two can either:
a) invent their own role
b) be an extra evil relative
c) be an extra fairy
d) join the audience

OK, here we go, first round of pictures.

[www.geocities.com] for Nicky

[www.geocities.com] for Tracy

[www.geocities.com] for Sarah

[www.geocities.com] for me

What do you think? They may be very flattering and not quite exactly you but they're the closet I could get not knowing most of you very well...
