I Can See Your Dirty Pillows

Ricky Brindley brought another episode of the Match Game to Brigett's Last Laugh on March 22. This go-round, the performers appeared as celebrities or characters from the 1970s. I chose to invoke Stephen King's Carrie and transition her character throughout the show. Poor Carrie joined the game fresh out of gym class, and she even got her first menstrual period right on stage! How absolutely horrifying, not to mention embarrassing -- a real Dear-Teen-Magazine moment.

For round three, Carrie was in full prom queen mode. Her neighboring panelist, 1970s Billy O'Connor convinced her to take some of his drugs, and before she knew it, Carrie was loosened up and sitting on his lap. She said she was wetter than she'd ever been, and it wasn't the blood; 1970s O'Connor said it wasn't the first time he had a girl's blood all over him. Ohhhh!

​It was a lot of fun, and I can't lie, I think this covered-in-blood look is what I really should be striving for on a regular basis. I got hit on at the bar post-show more in costume that night than I have the whole year thus far. A guy also told me something I don't think a guy has ever told me before: "I love how committed you are."
