Preparations for "The Underpants"

I can't believe I actually just sucked apple juice out of my mustache... My transformation to my father is almost complete. Next stop? Let the eyebrows grow into the Azalea bushes they wish to be. NEVER!!!

This is me a month ago looking like...

Kris Kringle.

See?

You think I look like "Kris Kringle" too, don't you? Don't lie...

It's okay...

Really. I'm cool with it.

No, I'm not.

Well...

It was better than my hair up in pins, bishes...

And a big crazy mustache and lambchop sideburns that are only getting bigger...

They haven't been clipped since March 1st. Thus, the stache being submerged in apple juice only to be sucked out. It's like eating and drinking through a wig.

This is what I'm doing to take on the character of the Jewish barber, Benjamin Cohen. Circa 1910. Yes, I end up (proudly) with a Jew-fro for show-time. And when I'm not in character, I just look like a porn star from the 70's.

See? Things can always get worse. And who the hell chiseled those lines in my forehead? Dang. It's like my face is a frickin' triangle with hair sprouting here and there and almost everywhere.

So, here's an interview with our illustrious director, Matthew Earnest about The Underpants:

Just fast forward through the crap to 4:50 to 6:53 and you'll see some images from our early rehearsals for this brilliant farce.

VIVA THE UNDERPANTS!!! Arrrrrrriba! Ondelay!
