Working with Alicia has been fascinating. She is the mistress of illusion. In fact you may not even have realized that Alicia isn't even a woman, but a man in a wig. Those voluptuous breasts are really nothing more than a pair of my anklet socks rolled up in a ball. And that voice, when Alicia speaks it is as feminine as a sweet young girl, like melted sugar at the bottom of a glass of iced tea. You would never guess that sound was coming from a virile manly man.
In making the Alicia videos, I have had to learn how to create a theater of mind for the viewer. For instance, in 'House of Boobs' I had to recreate a state of the art medical setting. One that would be convincing. I think I succeeded quite nicely, you would never have guessed I did that in my living room. Then there are the 'Real Housewives' series, where the illusion is that I am truly interacting with the vacuous broads from Bravo. Once again, through seamless editing the viewer is conned into believing I am right in the room with them.
Like I said, I'm having a great time with Alicia and her spectacular illusions. Right now Alicia and I are working on a hilarious video set in the dead of winter, and I have to recreate a snow laden landscape. I've been told that recycled asbestos, chopped up and blown all around with a big box fan looks just like new fallen snow. We'll see how that works out.
Can't wait to see it:)
ReplyDeleteThank you Ed Wood.
ReplyDeletewait... you mean she's a MAN?
ReplyDeleteAs Alicia ages I'll bet her hair will turn purple !
ReplyDelete...and she'll start wearing FLAMBOYANT and FABULOUS reading glasses. Just a hunch....
ReplyDeleteGet her a hearing aide also, it runs in the family.
ReplyDeleteI get it...like a transvestite Jim Henson, right? p.s. this post had more Southern similes and metaphors than a Willa Cather novel.
ReplyDeleteWhat? Alicia, you must do something with your hair?
ReplyDeleteGarrett, I did. I put it on my head.
ReplyDeleteDamn it Hostess. I flunked English classes throughout grade school and high school. Now I have to go look up those two words.
ReplyDeleteThe biggest shock is that the boobs aren't real!!! BTW Alan, a new Salvation Army store just opened up down the road from me... I'll be doing some Alicia shopping after the Grand Opening. That is, if I can fight off the "Housewives of Glendale Heights"!!
ReplyDeletePeggy: Let's do sequins next... hehe
ReplyDeleteSequins get all over the place, and then I'll start finding them in Chandler's poop.
ReplyDeleteOk, moo moos will suffice.
