Now on Lilac Ray for the first time...the original cast recording... Here is a medley of tunes from the show...
A Tale Like That!
Forget your tale - - and write another
It feels just like - - you shouldn't bother
Just write what we want
Oh, not what you want
A misspelled word - -mistaken fact
We'll point it out - - and with no tact
It's not such a big deal
But it's what we feel
Amercritica
We like to point out your mistakes
Feels like you don't have what it takes
Just change it now, for goodness sakes
We like to point out your mistakes
Your story has too much emotion
How did you arrive at that notion?
Minutia is what is important now
Not who, we just want to know what and how
We like to point out your mistakes
Feels like you don't have what it takes
Just change it now, for goodness sakes
We like to point out your mistakes
Somewhere.com
There's a site for us
Somewhere to write for us
Inspiration and loving care
Wait for us
Right there
There's some friends for us
Dear ones who tend to us
If we try to be sweet and fair
Polite and kind if we dare to care,
Some day!
Somewhere.
Safety for all our expressing
A haven for all our confessing
Somewhere . . .
I've Just found a site called Big Closet...
The most inviting sound I ever heard:
Big Closet...Big Closet ..Big Closet.. Big Closet. .
The most nurturing site . .in two simple words
Big Closet...Big Closet ..Big Closet.. Big Closet. .
Big Closet
I've just found a site called Big Closet,
I've found a brand new home
No need to ever roam
again
Big Closet
I feel right at home at Big Closet,
Dear ones who care for me
I find that I can be
a friend
Big Closet,
Reading fiction that can inspire
With acceptance to which we aspire
Big Closet,
I’ll try to remember to comment
With kindness and caring in every word
Big Closet
And new for the Special Extended Version...
Erin Halfelven...
Dear kind administrator
You gotta understand
I had to criticize it
'cause it really was too bland
I know you'd like to brain me
but I know that I'll be safe
Goodness gracious I am such a naif
She's a naif, she's a naif
She's a naif, naif naif
And she said it thinkin'it was safe!
Maybe I will stick to writin'
or maybe just go read
I really oughta listen
your credo I should heed
Think twice before I post or blog
my opinion ain't the end
In other words just stop and think
before I go and send!
Oh Erin Halfelven
I'm sorry again
Don't know how many times
Don't know where or when
I just know that you've been kind
and I wanna confess
This site is the only place where I can dress!
She can dress, she can dress
She can dress, dress, dress
Metaphysical but she still can dress...
This horrid little ditty
is coming to an end
I hope that my compliance is
something which you can depend (on)
I'd really like to learn from this
find something I can use
Goodness gracious I hope I'm not confused
Oh Erin Halfelven
I'm sorry again
Don't know how many times
Don't know where or when
I just know that you've been kind
and I wanna confess
I wish big closet
Success!

When you're Transgendered

A poor attempt by me to add another song to the "Best Site Story" repitoire.
My humble efforts pale in comparison to the wit and wisdom of Andrea presentation
When you’re Transgendered
Your Transgendered All the Way
From your first pair of panties
To your last dying day.
When you’re transgendered
If your dress gets torn
You got sisters around
You’re a family girl.
You're never alone,
You're never offline!
You' got a site with your own:
When P.Ms are expected,
You're well protected!
Then you are transformed
With a capital T,
Which you'll never forget
Till they cart you away.
When you're Transgendered,
You stay Transgendered.

Well done!
I dunno ... There are times I think "I feel pretty" could be added to your list - without modification. :-) Personally, I'm partial to ladies, but... (Thank you Mr. Sondheim for such lovely words - and Mr. Bernstein for the music.)

I feel pretty,
Oh, so pretty,
I feel pretty and witty and bright!
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me tonight.
I feel charming,
Oh, so charming
It's alarming how charming I feel!
And so pretty
That I hardly can believe I'm real.
See the pretty girl in that mirror there:
Who can that attractive girl be?
Such a pretty face,
Such a pretty dress,
Such a pretty smile,
Such a pretty me!
I feel stunning
And entrancing,
Feel like running and dancing for joy,
For I'm loved
By a pretty wonderful boy!
Lilac Ray?
My laptop I bought over three years ago has a Blue-Ray player but I've never used it for that. Just cd's and DVD.
Now there is Lilac Ray?
My poor poor laptop. It feals so unwanted.
Lilac Ray? So when does Plad-Ray come out?
Dang but your muse is wickedly productive, 'Drea.
