Of course, I used to be a dancer.
Oh yeah. An extra in Fantasia was you?
I’m supposed to be focused on some new ideas, but have found myself distracted by trying to remember what all the characters in the 80′s version of Strawberry shortcake were called. Well more specfically the pets.
My sister and I had a huge number of them that were our favourite for a time. The dolls mostly ended up without their fibrous hair and Angel Cake even lost her limbs (we went through a’ Boxing Helena’ phase). The animals, colourful lumps of squeezy plastic attracted dirt easily but are mostly all in a lunchbox in the basement. Custard, Marmalade, Marshmallard, Parfait Parrot and I think Burrito? I can’t recall the others though. I could try the internet of course, but not that satisfying. It almost seems like cheating.
The My little Ponies are probably still in the props department of The Mercury Theatre in Colchester, where I eagerly lent them for a new play, but forgot that my work experience placement would end before the run did and I was too nervous to get them back. It was the hottest summer ever and I was a 14 year old with a serious case of chicken pox immediately after finishing project trident, so had other things on my mind such as not being scarred for life, (which unavoidedly I was). I hope they’re still there and weren’t culled in a modernisation plan.
