Posh’s panto palava…

For those of you that listen to Eagle Radio's Breakfast Show you will remember that last year I played Queen of the Munchkins in Aldershot's Panto "The Wizard of Oz" which was great fun, a real blast but what you may not know is that for the entire run and longer my fellow work colleagues mocked me mercilessly for the publicity shot that had been used in the programme, our website, the posters, basically anywhere that was deemed necessary and I looked like a small cheesy rodent with a crown grinning up at people!.

I was mortified but only really had myself to blame; its my face and I pulled it. So this year I was offered the part of the Mermaid and Mrs Darling & because Mrs Darling only appears briefly the main character focus would be the singing mermaid, which then means all the publicity shots would be of me as a mermaid-think not much on top and a fish tail! I thought about this properly when I was offered the role I would have started going to the gym to prepare myself for the semi nakedness – but no, it got to 6 o clock the night before and I’d forgotten and then was so upset that I’d forgotten my midriff (the least favourite part of my body) was going to be on show for the whole of Surrey and Hampshire that I took to eating cheese and wine for dinner…

There I was standing in The Princes Hall Aldershot when Edward-marketing genius-Haversham produced what can only be described as the perfect costume for a mermaid – but ONLY if you look like Darryl Hannah.

Damn and blast for cheese and wine…I spent a good half hour plastering my face in blue and green make up with the half hearted thought that if my face was covered in glittery make up then it detract from my midriff area…
The results came back today and I have to say the costume doesn’t look half bad but the gym is definitely on my list of things to do for the next 4 months - Darryl Hannah will eat her tail come December…..I hope.
