Day 43 –June 11, 2010 – Sea Day, backstage tour, and “World Beat”

During my day of laundry yesterday, I set up for today’s backstage tour, so all I had to do this morning was come down to the dressing room at 11 am and wait for the call from the guest services staffer that they’re on their way. It was a HUGE group today and they came in during the tech rehearsal for “World Beat”. The tour went well as usual although they were a quiet bunch. We were going to hit the Jazz Brunch afterwards, but oddly, it ended up getting cancelled due to a low number of reservations. So we all went to have lunch at Garden Café and ate with the Asst. Cruise Director (who was the other drag queen I mentioned earlier). We ended up talking shop most of the time, as we tend to do. It’s such a small world and crazy to talk to someone who knows so many of the same people and places as I do halfway around the world.

After lunch, I had to get to work on a new Shippenmales costume for Steven. This week, he decided to go country and wanted me to make his new jeans tearaway and plaid shirt sleeveless. I was more than happy to help in such an endeavor! The show was pretty good and uneventful tonight, not too much more to report. I made plans to go out with Heather tomorrow in Venice and enjoy the day off.
