geg, thank you just enough for allowing me to audition for the part of Jasmine. I'll have to check with Wardrobe on the suitability of the virtual trousers. My legs are registered under the Geneva Convention as WMDs (White, Maximum Dazzle), and having just recently had a double cataract operation (yes, really - successful, and YAY!!) I'm very aware of potential eye damage to other innocent (or even guilty) cast members.
The task may well be beyond my acting abilities.
Wikapedia tells me "
When she is first introduced, Princess Jasmine is a few days short of her 16th birthday. The outfit she is most associated with is a blue bedlah outfit with long poofy bustle pants and a top which leaves her forearms and midriff bare, along with copper earrings and gold slipper-like shoes.
This may be rather difficult to play convincingly (I'm male, 63 and bearded, and when I bat my eyelashes the effect is as though I use actual bats), and as my friend Hotblack Desiato suggested, my performance might best be observed from the very back of a theatre situated on a different planet.
