Does Desi play the stowaway singer?

SPLAIN · 11-26-2002, 02:33 PM

Well, he doesn't play the actress wife! LOL!

dawsongirl · 11-26-2002, 02:45 PM

Yeah, he is the singer.

Mickey · 11-26-2002, 04:30 PM

I don't know... I think he could play the actress wife. He could wear a nice wig, like at the end of "Lucy Is Jealous Of Girl Singer", and then put on a high voice, and hey presto! On the other hand it might be better to leave that role to Gloria Swanson...

SPLAIN · 11-26-2002, 05:10 PM

You know Desi could do anything, but i can't picture him in drag!

Mickey · 11-26-2002, 06:19 PM

It's only clothing...

He'd probably scare me less than Gloria Swanson.

Gloria Swanson was cool. A very courageous woman, in her own way. Can't say that I've seen many of her films though!

Are you still sitting eating cake in Richard's front yard, Dawsongirl? 'Cause if so you must be getting awfully sick of cake by now. And doesn't Richard want you out of hs yard yet?!

Yeah...I think I'll start eating pie.

And I keep running around and hiding so Richard can't find me.
