[MyLipstickLady]

I am not quite sure what I was soupposed to get out of the performance... or what the "talk" was actually about... I felt the rambolings were worthy of either a toddler or a senile old person... And I kept looking at the time because I wanted to see this through to the end, but in the end, I still felt that this was just a confused jumble of musings and ramblings or a toddler. This was extremely dissapointing, but then what do I know, this might have be a great performance... Just my opiniion.
