Bride Pride (Revisited) - a photo on Flickriver

It's funny how much difference a couple of years can make: when I first saw Tigger do his Bride with a Bang piece a few years ago, it was a flash of in-your-face mockery. Now, from our vantage in 2010, it's a valid piece of just-off-the-main protest; we all know, I think, that gay marriage is on its inexorable way to being recognized across the nation. It's just a matter of how soon.

For better or worse, not that long ago it was pretty much unimaginable.

I'm at the new Pinchbottom production, The Last Burlesque Show in the World, and tonight it is their dubious claim that there is no script. I mean, I know there have been shows where maybe there was almost no script, but tonight there actually isn't one. At least, not in this universe.

But if this is a Pinchbottom production, the odds are pretty good that we won't be staying in this time-line all that long. And surely there will be a script somewhere out there in the multiverse, right?

This is the treatment I had in mind for this shot, but on the first pass yesterday I didn't have time to play with the colors properly. For now, the two versions are side by side.
