Gee I wonder where the spiritual and literal flab are coming from:<BR/><BR/><BR/>One day, we were five minutes into a session and she said to me, “Where’s my water?” I looked up from her prone body and flabby tush on the Pilates machine and saw the little bottles of Evian on the rolling-cart-that-used-to-be—a-mini-bar and said to her, “It’s just over there, right on the bar.” She sighed and said, as if I were a slow child, “Well, would you bring one to me please?” Somewhat disbelieving, I actually walked across the room to do it -- it was only ten feet away but it felt like a runway, she eyed me carefully. I fetched her her stupid water, and after I’d handed it to her, she said, “You know, I shouldn’t have to ask for things like that. You really should learn to anticipate my needs.”<BR/><BR/>That is just one little gem example of how great Kyra's blog/story about Eloise can help us explore the modern version of some of these characters. I can totally see Lady Smatter ordering breakfast in the middle of her Pilates series of 5.<BR/><BR/>-MargiMagis Theatre Companyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00222858137440560364noreply@blogger.com
