McPetey's Vageety

When working on The Little Mermaid, Howard Ashman and Alan Menken realized that their song “Part Of Your World” sounded a lot like the song they had written for Little Shop Of Horrors years before called “Somewhere That’s Green” and nicknamed it “Somewhere That’s Dry”

I was not always a kind person, when I was a teen.

During my last year of summer stock, the director told me that if I worked hard, accepted chorus roles for our first two shows, and lost twenty pounds, I would get cast as Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors. I did all these things. He cast someone else (who didn’t have the range for the role, even) because her parents made a big donation to the program.

So all the way through rehearsals me and some friends used “Part of Your World” as a warm-up song, within earshot of her dressing room.

Third night of the show, she started into the wrong lyrics on stage.

I doubt she would have been unaware of what had transpired in order for her to get that part and also been unable to do anything about the situation, even just refusing to do the role so honestly not as mean as you think. It’s quite underrated and if she had been right for the role she wouldn’t have gotten mixed up.

Oh, she knew. She asked her parents to make the donation because she wanted the role, and she bragged about it later.

I’ll be honest: seventeen year old me might have done it anyway, because again, not always a kind person when I was a teen, but in this case, it’s not “petty revenge against the undeserving,” it’s “she made her bed with meticulous care.”

I do not eat Crayons but I still need money!

So, My brother’s job is very much seasonal and he has only worked twice this month so he can’t pay internet or the water bill… and I can’t pay rent, because my job still sucks and I’m paid shit but it is better than not having a job.

I am less broke than usual so with the internet bill of two months $100 and rent $290 i will need around…$390.
You do not have to donate if you can, but please reblog and share this so maybe people who can help me can!

Also before anyone tells me to get a new job, I am a black lesbian living in one of the most racist and homophobic states in Brazil, a country who elected a straight up fascist, getting another job is almost impossible here, so please give me a hand.
