rmDear Planet Earth,
Being articulate does not make me secretly ugly or dangerous.
The correct response to someone who applies for a job with you, regardless of the relevance of writing skills or not to the position or appearance or not to the position is NEVER, "you write well--i don/t know if that/s good or not--we/ll be in touch".
The depths of my misery over this cannot be expressed.

Dear Everyone Who Wants to Recreate the Feeling of the True Moulin Rouge in New York,
I respect and honor your desire to fix what's wrong with nightlife in New York. And obviously, totally groove on your fascinations, but I just have a few thoughts for you:
1. You know the girls were courtesans, yes?
2. You do know what a courtesan is, don't you?
3. How far are you willing to go?
4. It's almost 2004, and this is no longer a bandwagon to jump on -- so go for it, if you love it, pleasepleaseplease, but otherwise, please go jump on the burlesque bandwagon that is quickly pulling away.
5. You do get that your vision and burlesque aren't the same thing, yes?
6. Wait, you do have a vision, right? Like, your own?
7. Confidential to the most recent Craigslist poster on this theme -- I get why you want your dancers to be able to speak French, but pourquois Russian?
You make my heart ache. The whole bloody lot of you.

RM-1.) The initials of the person that posts, quite well, under this LJ handle; 2.) The sound made when one tries to rev the engine of a Hyundai Excel.
