Profile

Name: Virginia Cleary

Other Names: "Gin" (cause Baritones... [and apparently a few TENORS as well!] across the US agree they love Gin Martinis and who am I to argue?), "Virginia" (if I'm about to die and you're attempting to alert me or you are refering to the "Virginia is for Lovers" slogan and you are a Baritone), "Ginny Pig" (ask me about this one cause the story is amusing... to me at least), "Pumpkin" (if you want to die painfully), "Princess" (if you're kissing my ass), "Mon" (only if you're my sister and you want to confuse my mom when you say "Mon!"), "The Queen of Queens" (thanks to Bethie for this one! I love ya honey!), "Amazon Girl" (sheesh, you change one fuckin' tire...), "Fruitfly" (thanks Jerr damn you), "The Homewrecker with a Heart of Gold" (if he wasn't married I wouldn't have to homewreck Craig!), "Free Association Girl" (I have a mind... where it is, I do not know)

Talents: Singing, jitterbugging your ass off, salsa dancing (yeah, I'm white too! :õ) acting, embarassing myself and others in public, creating and writing down quotes then posting them for the ENTIRE WORLD to see, my webpage, my love of life and the people I choose to put in my life, knitting, sewing (mostly costumes and corsets... and bears OH MY! well... not really bears...).

Demise: Having friendships with people who cannot communicate. My expensive theater-going habit. My expensive "Support Hot (and slightly... funny) Baritones" fund. My slightly more expensive Denny's habit.

Little Known Fact: I have really rough hands... man hands. The rest of my body is fiiiine. Soft and smooth, but yet, the hands and feet are like sandpaper. I'm a huge Fag Hag. I mean, can pick a gay guy who DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HE'S GAY! It's sad and I weep for my barren uterus.

Most Recent Bruise: Upper lip on the right side.

Cause: Ace Frame's head. I was in a production of Cabaret where I played the Nazi hooker, Fraulein Kost. Well, it just so happened that in this production, Fraulein Kost was the comedic relief so that required a bit of physicality that I wasn't fully prepped for. During the second scene I was in, Ace (affectionately known as Sailor 1) had to knock me over while in a chair. Well, he and I worked it out so that he would basically charge the chair and knock me over. Chair would crash, big bang... perfect! Well, Ace charged me and I didn't move my face back far enough and I got a mini fat lip and... a bruise... not from my lip hitting my teeth and being crunched on the edge of my tooth... no, from Ace's forehead. Ow.
