A pleasing start to your Monday.
This was emailed to me this morning by my new and clearly 'in the know' friend Andrew.
'A romantic actor required !
magic_of_life | 16/08/2006 - 08:25Australia | Actor | Drama | Theatre Classifieds
I need help from an actor or someone studing to be an actor .. one that is a romantic and will help another romantic soul perform something ‘different’ for his lady.
This could be good experience for someone who wants a small dramatic part in a public place surely there is one romantic aspiring actor who can help me.
What am I after .. well I want an actor to be dressed in 18th century page boy costume to deliver a ‘glass slipper’ to my lady at her work in Westmead near Parramatta .. it will take all of 15 mins and if done right will be a memory never forgotten by her.
I don’t want a ‘courier’ but rather someone that will deliver this with the same passion as I would intend ..
I know this is unusual .. but .. I wanted to try. Do I have a hope ?? .. please, if your a romantic, just let me know either way

1. No, I don't know where he found it.
2. Who doesn't want a 'small dramatic part in a public place'? Oooh vicar, etc.
3. 18th century pageboy costume...glass slipper...middle of her workplace = no possible chance of humiliation WHATSOEVER.
4. SOMEONE AMONG US MUST SEIZE THIS OPPORTUNITY AT ONCE.
I don't know why this tickles me so much, but it truly does.
439 days til the next election.

Pity I can't act,
or own a page boy costume.
oooh i'd do it too. cmon boys...
Rad. Susie Bright did a similar kind of thing once where she got all her girl friends together and hired guys to get nekkid and serve them tea.
I think the ad is quite romantic actually.
This had me visualising a scenario involving the bewigged, pert-cheeked boy in the picture Mademoiselle Beauty Parlour uses to advertise the Boyzilian. I think you know the one I mean. I reckon he'd go down well with the ladies of Westmead. I can't find the picture on the internerd though, to show everyone.
You KNOW the Boyzilian, Cloudy?
hehe, go down
Got to admit, I am a bit of a sucker for pulling this sort of stunt. Elaborate set ups, for some reason, make more sense than simply asking a girl out, or saying that you like her. Currently learning how to say "you are cute" in Japanese.
tex martini, be very careful. i once had a japanese mother backing away in horror when i'd told her, smiling, that her baby in the pram was "frightening" when i tried to say it was "cute".
don't mix up kawai with kowai.
Do you think Jim would throw in a jetstar ticket for a melbourne based performer?
ooh, look, i found it

I am strangely disappointed he didn't go through with it.
I too know the boyzilian.. After living next door to the salon for a year, my flatmate desperately wanted to do a grab and run and take him with her to the new house!
am i just bitter and twisted, or does that ad read more like it's from a freaky stalker than from the love of this woman's life?
ah, i'm probably just bitter and twisted.
did you end up in sydney at all?
Just what is 'deliver a glass slipper' a euphemism for? And in public...
Does the lady in question ahve particularly hideous sisters?
You KNOW the Boyzilian, Cloudy?
Do you mean have I had one? Good Jesus Christ No. Why have the hair ripped out of your scrotum, or even shave, when you can just use depilatory cream? To paraphrase Bill Hicks, It Makes. No. Sense.
I've simply seen the pic in the Melbourne Times and on the a-frame outside the shop along Rue de Westgarth. For some reason I just find it hilarious and unforgettable.
