I just wanted to say, Rebecca, in case you are reading this - we barely ever see you anymore! Are you avoiding us, or something? Why? You leave early for school, stay late, then go to dance until 10! By that time, we're all doing homework/asleep/ pretending to do homework. So......whats the big deal, Rebecca? Why are you hiding from us? What exactly has we done? It just annoys the heck out of me. We really need to talk.
Monday is Les Mis Day! The twenty-seventh anniversary of the musical that swept the world. Coincidence of coincidences; we have no school! Okay, fine, I do realize that the reason we have no school is because it's Columbus Day; but still. We should all dress up as characters from Les Mis on Monday! That would be so, so, cool. I could be Eponine, Rebecca (What? Who?) could be Cosette..... It would be great! We are so doing that.
On the school side, I have a huge test coming up in History; all about the American revolution. Since I have been so Les Mis-oriented lately, I keep thinking about Enjolras during class, when we're talking about the patriots. When we watch clips, I can't get him out of my head! It's actually kind of funny. So let hope that I don't totally mess up the test by talking about Enjolras and Comberferre instead of John Adams and George Washington.
I think that I'm going to be a witch this year for Halloween! I can't wait. Lat year, I was Nancy from Oliver Twist, which was super fun, but because I'm getting old for Halloween and this will probably be my last year, I want to be something traditional. It'll be fun. Halloween is one of my favourite times of the year!
Got to go study, but I promise more posts this weekend. And pictures, if we ever find the camera.
Cheerio,
Samantha!

Rebecca - Pageant and dancing
I'm really glad I did this pageant, I guess. It was nice to win. I love how it feels when everybody is clapping for me. It makes me feel as though I belong, like I'm 'Part Of It All' like that song says. It's a wonderful feeling. I wasn't nervous at all. I don't really get nervous a lot. Years of performance can do that to you. I'm glad I choose Learn To Be Lonely as my guitar piece, it is such a touching song. I feel that if there was one song to describe my life; that would be it. It is so pretty and so fitting. I feel such a connection to it, an when I play it onstage, it feels very magical. Like I'm up on air, and there is nothing but me and the music, all unhappy thoughts and bad things go away. Thats what I want to convey to the audience in my song. Thats the part of me I want them to see on stage.
I was fairly surprised when they called my name as the winner. It was like this feeling of elation ran through my body. As they hung the medal around my neck, I thought ; This is it. This is the big moment. I felt so happy, so high. It was wonderful. It's like I've been up on air for the past two days, flying and flying. I can do anything, be anyone.
What I want to do is dance. When I dance, the pain and sadness I often feel just lifts away and withers in the air, and I feel free. Free and unencumbered and alive, like my soul is bare o the world and every feeling is perfect and raw. It is the most wonderful thing ever when I dance. Last night, while Samantha and Lilyana got their stuff ready for school on the tenth, I went up to the roof and danced. The night air was cool and fresh against my skin, tingling as if it was alive. Like the night was alive, breathing in the warm days and expelling them as perfection. I stood on the edge of the roof, my toes griping the sides. I felt like I could fly. Dancing on the roof, I felt free. Free, and perfect, and astonishing.

Lilyana - pageant, the final part! (mostly pictures)
Okay guys, this last section of the pageant was for beauty....so this is mostly pictures. Let me tell you, watching 50 girls walk around in pretty dresses gets super boring....I wonder how the judges stand it?
Anyway, here goes.
And finally, the judges went off in a huddle to talk and add up scores.....and we waited, and waited. Here are some pictures of the girls waiting backstage.
.........
Lilyana - Pageant, part two
Here we go with part two - Poetry!
First up was Rebecca, in a floaty pink dress with a soft skirt and flower embroidery, her curls framing her face, who recited 'The Highway Man.' The poem was about a highway man who goes and sees his lover, Bess, the landlord daughter. He tells her that he's 'After A Prize Tonight,' and will be back before the next midnight. Tim, the ostler, who also loves Bess, listens to this, and rats out the highwayman to the Kings men. They come and wait in ambush at the inn. Bess sacrifices her own life to save him. Once he learns what she has done, he gets killed in a futile fight for revenge. He dies with her love knot on his chest. At the end, it says that the ghosts meet again on spooky nights, "When the road is a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple moor." That poem is so sad, it makes me cry. It made one of the judges cry to, I think. It was a perfect choice for Rebecca; who does tragedy so well. She said it perfectly, and one could not help but imagine her as the dark-haired Bess. I was sobbing when she finished, her voice railing off on "Plaiting a dark red love-knot into her long black hair..."
Next was Melanthe, wearing a short red silk dress, her long red hair loose around her face, who recited the famous - but never old - poem; The Raven. I love, love, love this poem! It is utterly spooky and extremely sad. I feel so bad for the man, and I always wonder what happened to Lenore. The poem is about a man, sitting lonely and remembering the loss of his love, Lenore. He hears tapping at the window, and opens it to find a raven, who can talk. The bird keeps saying 'Nevermore,' indeed, it is the only word it knows. Basically, he gets really angry at the raven, who sits forever on this bust over his door. It is a really, really, depressing poem. Honestly, why can't people read Happy poems at these pageant? I just don't get all this gloom-and-doom stuff. Melanthe, however, likes gloom-and-doom, and therefor adores this poem. She said it really eerily, too. The audience clapped and clapped!

"And still of a winter's night, they say, when the wind is in the trees,
When the moon is a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas..." 
Next up was Samantha, her dark hair pulled back from her face, wearing a simple blue dress with flowers on it, who recited 'Eldorado.' I'm not that big a fan of this poem, but it's one of Rebecca's favorites, she said, and she suggested it for Samantha. It's about a gallant knight who travels for his whole life in search of the fabled 'Eldorado', but a specter appears and basically tells him that he's wasting his time. Rebecca said that it was about how impossible it was to obtain true happiness and wisdom in life, and that those who spend their whole life looking for it will be wasted. I don't agree with that, because I think we can be happy, but that's just one of the ways Rebecca and I disagree. Anyway, Samantha said it fairly well. Although she did tell me that she doesn't really agree with it, it sure sounded amazing!
"Gaily bedight, a gallant night, in sunshine and in shadow, journeyed long, singing a song, in search of Eldorado."

"Quoth the Raven - Nevermore!"

Samantha - 8.9

Lilyana - Cold Feet?
Hi everybody. As you all know, the Little Miss Summertime pageant is coming up on Wednesday. Melanthe and Samantha are thrilled; right now they are practicing hairstyles on each other. So, whats the problem, then? The truth is, I'm not really sure I want to do the pageant. Not because I don't think I'll win, or anything like that. I just don't want to. I'm not really a pageant girl, not like Samantha. I've never been like her at all. That hasn't mattered, but now I think that maybe it does.
When I first moved here from Montana, it was like entering a different world. I've always been very quiet, very shy, and a more casual, outdoorsy person. But when I moved in with Samantha, I found that she was exactly the opposite. Even at age ten, she had this whole huge life going on, she was taking voice and dance, and getting leads in plays. She was bouncy, and loud, and talented, everything I'm not. She tried to include me in her stuff, but it was all so alien to me. I'd never had anything to do with theatre, or dance, or any of that. I didn't understand it at all. All I wanted was to be back in Montana riding my horses. Samantha encouraged me to start doing shows with her, and I did, for a while. It was kinda fun, I guess. I do like to sing, just when I'm by myself, and not as much as I love other things, like horses and reading. And it's not like I hate theatre, or anything, but it's just not my thing. I'm not a get-up-onstage person at all, but it seems that the rest of them are. And I don't know how to fit into that. They all have their voice classes, and their acting classes, and Samantha is always acting in something, but I'm just that type of person. And even if I liked that type of things, I'm sure I wouldn't be very good at it at all. I mean, just look at who I've got to compete with. They all have scholarships to Sutton for music and art, or whatever. Well, Rebecca has a full scholarship for dance, and Samantha and Melanthe have partial scholarships. Samantha for Musical Theatre, and Melanthe for flute. They are all so, so, talented. Rebecca is one of the best dancers in the school - if not the best - and she plays the guitar. Melanthe is super good on the flute, she's a great artist and designer, and she doesn't even care. She just does whatever. And Samantha gets the leads in all the plays we do, and she's one of the best actors in the Upper School. Compared to them, what am I? Just a handicapped girl who rides horses and loves to read. And I know that not everybody can be talented and smart, but it still hurts to be the only one in the house who isn't so fantastic. I mean, even my little sister, Melanie, goes to boarding school in New York, and takes classes at the Juilliard School. She's a pianist. The only reason I got into Sutton at all is its good academic program, thats all. I don't do any of the art stuff, I don't do the plays and the pageants, and the concerts. Sometimes, I feel that I'm the only one there who isn't aiming at the stage, or screen, or a professional music career.
Samantha and everybody just expect me to go along with all their stage stuff, but I don't want to. I don't want to parade onstage in a strapless dress and sing, then answer questions from a bunch of fakey looking judges. I get so nervous, and I can't answer them. I don't even know what I'd do for the talent division; I can't ride a horse onstage. If they want to go and do that, fine. But I'm not. That's not who I am.

Samantha - Bunheads Party!
Yesterday, as you know, we had a super awesome party to celebrate the season finale of Bunheads! I know, I know, I'm not that much of a TV show person - none of us are - but Rebecca and I both started watching because of Sutton Foster, who we both love, and we got hooked! So, to celebrate the end of a fantastic first season, we threw a little party! We invited Andrea and Kanani. Maddi wanted to come, but her mom was dragging her to visit her aunt and cousins, so she couldn't. Melanthe was disappointed, but secretly, I didn't care. I don't like Maddi. I think she's shallow and annoying; but clearly Melanthe disagree with me. Oh well, as long as she didn't come, I don't really care about Melanthe.
Firstly, here are some great photos of us all in our Bunhead outfits. Notice how our Bunhead outfits all reflect our personal style and personalities! Rebecca's is very quiet and traditional, pretty but not in a flashy way. Pink is a good color for her. Melanthe is bright and bold in pink and purple, totally standing out from the rest of us. She is so, so, gorgeous. I've always wanted to be a redhead. They say redheads don't wear pink; but Mellie looks good in her pink wrap-around skirt, which looks nice with her bright purple leg-warmers. Kanani, of course, looks beautiful and calm, very neat and pretty in her usual wallflower way. She could be o, so pretty if she tried, really she could. Dear old Andrea, of course, looks totally clueless and out of it. Dancing is SO not her thing. I have no clue where she got the leotard, it is truly hideous. I could see Rebecca struggling to to make some snide remark, and I admit I teased her a bit about it myself. By the way, she borrowed that shrug from me. I want it back. You may have noticed that Lilyana wasn't wearing a leotard. She prefers wearing long sleeves to hide the brace-thingy she wears on her shoulder, and I don't blame her. It's not that nice to look at. She decided to wear more casual dance-wear instead, borrowing Rebecca's new black sweater. And then there's me, Samantha. I think I look rather nice, don't you?
We had the most yummy cakes! The first one was lemon, and baked by Lilyana, Of course, because she is a great baker! We put pink sprinkles on it, and wrote 'Bunheads' in pink frosting. It was so, so, good! We all had seconds, and Andrea had thirds, in typical Andrea fashion. She eats so much! The other cake was almond cream, baked by you-know-who. I don't mean Voldemort, I'm not sure he can bake. It was almost better then the lemon. We tried to frost a ballet shoe on it, but the frosting was being annoying, so it turned out to be a giant pink blob. Oh well; Blobs still taste good, right? Definantly!
The party was super fun. Melanthe brought her camera, so we have lots of pictures of us all. We fooled a round a lot as Rebecca tried to teach those of us who couldn't dance various positions and moves. Andrea sucked, but Melanthe was surprisingly good. Lily, of course, refrained, but Kanani sat out with her like a good friend. A pity, because Kanani is a good dancer, probably from all the hula dancing she did in Hawaii. And as for the episode.......oh god, it was spectacular! I won't talk about it now, but Rebecca will post her review tomorrow, so look at that. But I was so happy when Sutton sang.....and the hubble dream made me cry. As for the ending......I don't think I can wait until winter to find out what happened. Poor Michelle. It wasn't her fault! But she does cause a fair amount of trouble. Still, it is her house, so Fanny can't make her leave. But if she still wants to stay after all that......who knows? I hope Talia comes back. I loved her. Oh god, I can't wait for season two, literally CAN'T wait! Bunheads has become such a constant in my life!
Anyway, Fantastic party! Look out for Rebecca's review, which she'll post tomorrow.
Samantha
Our attempt at the Bunheads logo thingy. :D

Melanthe - Pageant explained
Hey guys, Melanthe here to update you about the pageant we're doing! I read Samantha's post from two days ago, and while she talked a lot about winning the pageant; she didn't give much information about the pageant itself. So, here goes! As Samantha said, the seasonal pageants are sponsored by BeautifulPageants Inc, have a winner and four runners-up in each age group. It's fun, really. There are twenty-five girls in each age group, and you have to apply to enter three weeks before the pageant; and they pick the first twenty-five that apply as long as they aren't totally hideous. Okay, I was joking about that part, I don't know if they've ever rejected anybody. Besides, if you were really as ugly as all that, why would you be doing pageants? There are four categorys, and each of the three-or-four judges gives you a score out of ten for each category. At the end, they add it up. If there's a tie, they...do something, I don't know what. There has never been an unresolved tie, as long as I know. So, anyway, I'll give a outline of how the pageant goes.
First category is bathing suits. Enough said. Summer is the only pageant where they have this category. They change it up for the other seasons. Sometimes they do dance, or a monologue/speech, or world issues, or something.
Second category is talent. You do a talent you have in front of the judges; like singing, dancing, musical instrument, juggling, gymnastics, whatever. Preferably, you don't wear your bathing suit for this one, :D. You have another outfit for this, depending on what your doing. Some girls do the bathing suit, then stay in the same dress for the rest of the pageant. Other girls have different outfits for each category, while others change twice.
Third category is question and answer. The judges ask you questions and you answer them. Questions vary from opinions on world issues, favorites, what-would-you-do, and tons of others. They don't judge you on what you say exactly, but on how you say it. You know, confidence, how well you answer, whether you ramble on and on, or don't give enough information. Like I said before, some girls have totally different outfits for this, others change right after this category, and others don't change at all.
The last category is, of course, beauty. I don't think I need to explain this one. It comes last because it's the most important, don't let Samantha tell you it doesn't. For this category, you get scored out of fifteen.
Counting down the days!

Samantha - Little Miss Sunshine
Hey everybody. In my last post, I mentioned a pageant that we'd be competing in on the twenty-eighth, called Little Miss Sunshine. Well, this pageant is part of a series of annual pageants for girls eleven and up, sponsored by a compony called BeautifulPageants Inc. There are four pageants, one in each season. (Spring, summer, winter, autumn.) Everybody competes in their age groups, and there are first, second, third place winners, and four honorable mentions. Or 'Runners-up,' whatever you prefer.
I've been competing since I was old enough, which was the spring I turned 11. Thats nine pageants, and not to brag, I placed in eight of them. I got first five times, second twice, and third once. The ninth was this past spring, where I placed seventh. And do you know who won? Rebecca. Yes, Rebecca won first, while I was SEVENTH! That's the lowest honorable mention. Barely a place at all. Before Rebecca started competing, I would win. Now, in the two pageants she's competed in, I've gotten third and seventh. I don't believe it, still. But I do know that this time, I'll win. I have to win. I mean, I know it's not about winning and all, and yeah, sure, it's still fun anyway, but it's funner if you win. Much funner. And I'm the type of girl that wins. I mean, I'm no Nellie O'Malley, but I'm pretty good at pageants. Back when I lived in New York, Nellie and I would do pageants sometimes. Nellie was what you'd call a real pageant girl; she'd been in those little-kid ones from the time she was four. Won most of them, to. Nellie's the type of girl who would always win, with her big eyes and fluffy hair, cute freckles, huge voice, and natural grace. She'd always sing to, if there was a talent division. So would I, and I know that that mat have attributed to the fifths, fourths, and occasional thirds that I racked up, especially as I got older. I know I'm not beautiful. Barely even pretty. Sure, I was a pretty cute kid, but then again, aren't we all? I know my face is to round, and my eyes are to small. My hair is ok, but my bangs are taking years to grow out. But it's not just prettiness that makes you win pageants. Sure, Nellie was pretty - but she also had personality, confidence, a good stage presence, talent. Thats what it takes. Thats why I win. Sure, Rebecca won twice, but she's pretty. She's gorgeous, she's graceful, she's talented. But she doesn't have the personality I have. She might have wowed the judges the first couple times around, but I know I'll win in two weeks.

Melanthe - I'm Home!!!
Hey all you random people out there! If you haven't read the title, this is Melanthe, posting for the first time in almost a month. Sorry about that, by the way. I wish I could have blogged, and I feel bad about not blogging, but I do have two excuses. Number one - No Internet Service. Number two - I was way, way, too busy. But now I'm back! Well, i got back yesterday morning, but i was to busy unpacking to post. Hurray! I'm glad to be back here, but it was nice to see my family. I really miss them during the school year, but I guess being able to attend Sutton is worth it. It really is a good school. But still, it was great to be able to spend time with my parents.
And our beach house in Maine is my favourite place on earth! My parents have owned the house forever (It belonged to my dads family, and he inherited it because he's an only child like me), so I've spent at least a month every summer there since I was two. It's on the coast, and we have a little private beach that is more rocks than sand. When the tide is in, it's little more then a strip of rocks and shells, but at low tide it's a fantastic beach. All types of sand, shells, and sea-glass wash on shore, and most mornings I went looking around for treasures. Its so nice to be alone on the beach at sunset, the rising sun tinging the clear water orangey-red, the breeze cool, and the air fresh and brimming with the lucrative promises of another summer day. The water is very calm and warm, perfect for swimming. Almost every day, my best-beach-friend Tessa and I would go swimming, sometimes with other friends, sometimes just the two o us. I like Tessa a lot; I've known her for years. Her family has a summer house near ours, so we've always been close. We're summer-best-friends. Both of us have other friends back home, and we both know that. Its easy yo be with her, because we just know each other through the summers, and we don't have to deal with any long term fights, or crap, or anything. I Often, we take our boat out and have a picnic on the water, or go into the town to hang out. We like to get ice cream at one of the zillion ice cream stores, and basically jut fool around. Tessa has a kind-of-boyfriend named Josh. A lot of time, he hung out with us. He has tons of friends that were available - and cute! but I somehow didn't feel like doing that this summer. I'm not sure why. They say most people who are bisexual really prefer one gender over the other. But I don't know. I don't feel that way. Is that wrong? Maybe I just need time, but I want to know now. I don't want to, say, get a girlfriend, but then realize that I really prefer boys! That would be weird. And mean, (to the girlfriend, I mean), because what if she actually like me a lot? I don't want to risk that. So I guess i'll just have to wait. i mean, its not like i really want to get romantically involved now. Alright, I'm really and truly off topic here.
So......I'm back now. Back in Boston. Back to.......I don't know, exactly. From reading over the blog earlier i gather things have been kinda....odd around here. I read about what was happening with Lily's dad. I feel bad for her, I would never want my parents to divorce, and I they did, I'd totally freak out if one of them remarried! That would be horrible! I don't know how Lily is being so open about that, i really don't. It all sounds horrible to me. And I do admit, Rebecca is being weird. Weirder then usual. But really, what else is new? She's been in a pretty good mood lately, though. More upbeat then i've seen her in ages. But Samantha's right. She's gotten very reckless, it seems, based on what Samantha told me last night, and what I've seen since I got back. She started screaming at Samantha's mom yesterday, for no reason that I could see. Last night, I heard her get up. I thought she was going out to the roof, as she so often does, but when i got up to go to the bathroom, I looked out the window and she wasn't there. I don't know where she goes. But Rebecca's always been kind of a mystery to me. To us. So really, who cares what she does.
Moving. Samantha told me that it won't be in the next week or so because, they haven't found a buyer for the house yet. I hope it never sells, because I don't want us to split up. I don't want to find another household to board with, I'm happy here. I like staying with Samantha's family, I like being so near to Maddi's house. There must be some way I can stay with them, there must. We're having another family meeting again in a couple days. Maybe we'll find a way. I hope Rebecca isn't as violent as last time, though. Honestly, I don't know why she can't find another family to board with. What is it on her record that makes people reject her like that? I'd love to know, it must be something really bad. Still, I don't even know why she left her school in New York. It was much better then Sutton School For The Arts. I can't see her leaving a great school for a not so great one; she's so career-oriented. She could go back, go back to her old school. Back to the city. Then I could still board with the Parkingtons. I wish.

And our beach house in Maine is my favourite place on earth! My parents have owned the house forever (It belonged to my dads family, and he inherited it because he's an only child like me), so I've spent at least a month every summer there since I was two. It's on the coast, and we have a little private beach that is more rocks than sand. When the tide is in, it's little more then a strip of rocks and shells, but at low tide it's a fantastic beach. All types of sand, shells, and sea-glass wash on shore, and most mornings I went looking around for treasures. Its so nice to be alone on the beach at sunset, the rising sun tinging the clear water orangey-red, the breeze cool, and the air fresh and brimming with the lucrative promises of another summer day. The water is very calm and warm, perfect for swimming. Almost every day, my best-beach-friend Tessa and I would go swimming, sometimes with other friends, sometimes just the two o us. I like Tessa a lot; I've known her for years. Her family has a summer house near ours, so we've always been close. We're summer-best-friends. Both of us have other friends back home, and we both know that. Its easy yo be with her, because we just know each other through the summers, and we don't have to deal with any long term fights, or crap, or anything. I Often, we take our boat out and have a picnic on the water, or go into the town to hang out. We like to get ice cream at one of the zillion ice cream stores, and basically jut fool around.

Samantha - Plans and Summer days :(
Hey guys, Samantha here. I thought I'd do a post about how the rest of the summer is going to go. Melanthe should be getting back within a couple of days - like I said before, she had very bad cell reception there, so she doesn't call often.
Anyway, Lilyana's best friend Ani's birthday is next weekend, so we're going to the party. That's going to be fun! I love a good party. She's the youngest of us though; we're all thirteen already. Melanthe is the oldest, her birthday is in November. Rebecca's is in February, Lily's is in March, and mine is in may. My friend Andrea also has a birthday in May, so we often have a double birthday party. Maddi's birthday is in June. So its always fun to have a summer party. I'm not quite sure what I'm getting her yet, though. Oh well, I have time.
On August twenty-seventh, there is the annual Little Miss Sunshine pageant! We're all competing in it. I love pageants, and so does Melanthe. Rebecca tolerates them, and so does Lily. The only problem is that Rebecca wins a lot, which I find annoying, Sure, she may be prettier then me, but I have the better personality, and I am SO more talented. Thats what counts, right? And after coming FORTH in Little Miss Springtime to Rebecca's first and Maddi's third, I swear I will win this one!
We're still having trouble selling the house, so I have no clue when we'll actually move. Oh well, the later the better. And like I said, we'll have to have a house meeting when Mellie gets back.
As you know, Lilyana got back yesterday. She's a bit shell-shocked about what happened with her father, and she was really sad about leaving. I've only met my uncle a couple times, but he's a nice guy. If he's going to remarry, I'm sure he'll pick somebody nice. At least, I hope so, for Lily's sake. Lily thinks that he's hiding something else from her, but I'm not sure what she thinks it could be. I wouldn't know if he is or not, having not seen him or talked to him, but Lilyana has good instincts. I g=feel bad for her, I really do. She's kinda mopey at the moment. And Rebecca is so not helping. She keeps making all these cryptic comments, and giving advice that seems to scare Lily. What does she know, anyway? Well, actually, I don't know what the heck the deal is with her parents. Her dad sounded like a real piece of work on the phone, so maybe she does know what she's talking about. To some extent. But still, she's really upsetting Lilyana, and thats not fair or nice. Really, she has to be more empathetic sometimes, or nobody will like her. If anybody ever did, which I doubt. Well, she gets along OK with Lily, but Lily is friends with anybody, she's so nice. I just don't know what her problem is. Speaking of Rebecca, she's been in quite a mood ever since she got home from camp. Firstly, she's not as mopey, and she's smiling a bit more. She seems very...happyish. But she's also gotten more reckless; talking back to my mom all the time, and being mean to the rest of us, sassy comments and mean insults said in a jokey tone that really hurts. When she's home, that is. She's at the studio a lot, or up on the roof, or who knows where, getting home late and ignoring my parents when they ask where she is. She's freaking me out, actually, but I'm just being stupid. She's just being Rebecca. Oh god, I hope thats all this is, because I must be crazy to think like this about her. I'm the one with the problem, not Rebecca. But I still worry.

Rebecca - Bunheads review and recap
So, I just watched the latest Bunheads episode, and I must say it was quite interesting. Not to much happens, but you can tell they're just setting some plotlines up for the next episode, which is the last one before the season finale. I can't wait! We're all going to have a Bunheads party, and watch all the episodes in order, then have cake! Anyway, on to the episode.
It started with a scene between Melanie and Ginny. Poor Melanie. Still no plotline. And to to that, Gorgeous Charlie has disappeared from this episode, so she really has nothing to work with here. Anyway, then there is a semi-funny bit about Fanny and flowers, which may or may not be a pun on her name. (Fanny Flowers) Ha ha. Not really.
Then, we meet this guy in Fannies kitchen, and Michelle is being very awkward. Turns out he's a 'friend,' Michael. Wearing her slippers and cooking eggs in her kitchen. Well. And he's huge! Really huge! Taller then Sutton, who is pretty tall. She was the tallest person ever to play Eponine in Les Mis. She herself said she was 'Giant Eponine!' So this Michael must be very tall. Kinda creepy. Then Michelle makes an absolute fool of herself talking about Kinky Breakfasts. LOL. He never lets her forget that.
Cut to the dance studio, where the girls are watching Ginger Rogers dancing. They go down to the studio (Fanny in a bad mood!) where Sasha and an insanely cute guy named Jordan are practicing their Ginger Rogers dance. Jeez, that guy can dance. Where'd they find him, anyway? The number of boys I know in my dance class that are legitimately talented could fit on one hand. Jordan and Sasha dance really well, making full use of the furniture and bars in the studio. Super cool. Then Fanny (Who, by the way, is 'Always here.' Ha. Could have fooled me.) tells us that its show season. Very busy! Lots to do! Including the Ginger Rogers dance Sasha and Jordan do so well. Then she rants about cheerleaders for a while. Sasha is getting an idea. :) Then Fanny notices tan lines on Sasha. Hmm....... Somethings up! Fanny gets super mad, and Sasha makes some snippy comments. Well, Fanny is not going to stand for tan lines now, is she? Of course not. So she cuts Sasha from the Ginger Rogers dance, and puts Boo in instead. Bad choice. Boo is not that good a dancer. In my opinion, they should have cast Melanie. But whatever I think, they do the opposite. So Boo it is. Well. Sasha is not to happy.
Then Fanny invites Michelle to a show. Michelle gets annoyed Fanny didn't ask her before getting tickets, and cracks some spinster daughter jokes, which are, admittedly, quite funny. But she agrees to go, after wondering what dirty word that the 'Blank' in the title means. I wonder too. Because nothing I know makes sense there. Oh well. It's still funny. Michelle confronts Fanny about Michael, who clearly doesn't like musicals. And Michelle is driving. Duh.
Back at school, Ginny and Melanie joke that an enraged Sasha might jump out at Boo from her locker. Funny, but improbably, because Boo's locker is to small. Boo says she didn't ask for the role. The others say Sasha might not pay attention to that detail, but rather to the outcome - Boo has it. Sasha doesn't. Boo says they're being silly. But she still jumps back as she opens her locker. Funny. Poor Boo. But knowing Sasha, she better watch out.
Michelle and Fanny arrive at the theatre, and at once Michelle gets into a 'seating tiff' with a woman who won't let them through. Michelle gets mad, and makes some nasty Pamema Canal comments, to which she's rightfully entitled. She also berates Fanny about bringing wine into the theatre (I agree with her! Its a theatre, not a god damned restaurant.) and then proceeds to drink it, muttering about the matinee crowd. They talk about Sasha. Michelle asks if she got cut from Nutcracker, to which Fanny replies: "No! I need her in nutcracker." Good choice, Fanny. Boo is so not good enough to dance in Nutcracker. The play starts..............eek.
Boo vies for Sasha's forgiveness, and gives her a brownie. Yum. Boo then interrogates her about tan lines and how she thought she didn't like then sun. Sasha says she's changed. Boo isn't to sure. Boo is probably right.
After a horrible act one, Michelle is stuck at the back of the theatre, having been held up in the bathroom by the oldies. She meets the rather harried director, Conner, who is scribbling away in a notebook. He is very annoyed at his actors, who are clearly not doing to well. They bond. Michelle asks what the play is about, and the director says he has no idea. Well, that makes three of us.
At the studio, Boo finds out Jordan quit the dance due to 'Family problems'.' Yup. 'Family Problems.' Ooh, I really believe that one! Good for him, I think. I hate Boo. She's annoying. I wouldn't dance with her. And Jordan and Sasha are perfect together! Carl, his replacement, is this tiny guy with no talent and a huge crush on Boo. Whoopee! More romance, because we've clearly forgotten about Charlie. Boo, Melanie, and Ginny make fun of Carl. Rightly. Carl runs in to Boo - Who he calls Bettina, which she hates - and pesters her on the job, which Boo seems to end up liking. Idiot. The next day, they rehearse together. Carl seems to be getting his way, because boy, is Boo showing interest! (Charlie? What about him?) They dance. Jeez, they suck. Much as Sasha deserved to be cut, I wouldn't have done it. Fanny needs to think about the quality of her productions, and how bad Boo and Carl will look. Which is super bad. He's not even cute, she' nowhere near pretty, and they are both pretty mediocre dancers.
Conner calls Michelle and invites her to come see the show again. Guess what? It still sucks. In bed together, they talk about their careers. Conners as probably the only NY actor to never be on Law and Order, and Michelle's feminine product commercial. Its got wings! Oh my god, that was so funny. Michelle starts crying. Aww. Turns out, she misses Hubble. WELL ITS ABOUT TIME! I mean god, she was married to the guy, albeit briefly, and she did know him. I mean, its gotta make an impression. Conner is very good about it, in spite of some tactless comments about how this is the stuff writers try to write. It wold have been funnier if he'd whipped out a pad and started taking notes. Poor Conner. I really hope to see him again. He's awesome! And funny. Prefect for Michelle.
At the dress rehearsal, Carl invites Boo over for dinner, but Melanie and Ginny turn him down for her, not realizing her intentions have changed. And idiot that she is, she doesn't even stand up for herself. Typical Boo. Then, Sasha bursts in in dark clothes, with......BLUE HAIR! It looks great. Fanny doesn't think so, and gets majority pissed off. Sasha and Fanny proceed to scream at each other, while Michael tells Michelle to stay out of it. Sasha says she's going out for cheer, which is a direct result of Fanny's "Cheer Is Not An Art Rant."Fanny is rightly shocked. Sasha says she can't handle both. Fanny agrees, and kicks her out!!! Now, I might have done the same if I were her. But I think Michelle needs to talk to Sasha, because it seems Michelle is more like her then we realize. (Deb, ect.) Michelle may be able to get Sasha back to dance, because its clear that dance is something she cares about and relies on, no matter what she says. Michelle may also be able to get to the bottom of all this Sasha stuff, because I'd say Sasha has got some serious problems at the moment, and I'm afraid they might get worse. coming from experience, what Sasha is doing now can easily lead to........other things. While that might be interesting for the show - I'd like to see them deal with stuff like that - Sasha might not come off well. I have some ideas for the season finale. :) A pushed-over-the-edge-Sasha might not be good news. Oh, and...where's Truely? We missed her. Can't wait till next week!
