How I Learned To Love Drag Part 11

At the bull session to begin the week, we kicked around a lot of different skit ideas.

Dave brought up the topic of gay marriages. We ran with that concept for awhile.

Then we took a stab at the film Spiderman. The possibilities were enormous, though potentially expensive.

I suggested we do a music video parody. I loved Shakira and she was one of my best impressions. But Ted Walters had an idea. He suggested doing Shakira with a live audience.

Ted told the group that he might be able to arrange for me to appear on a talk show. That sounded intriguing. I relished the opportunity.

Then Mark came up with a brilliant idea. Sex and the City was dying for a send up. We all agreed instantly!

We divided up the script writing. Dave was paired with Scott on the gay marriage skit. I worked with Mark on Sex and the City.

The setting was a restaurant in Greenwich Village, New York City, at lunchtime on a Saturday. Four very attractive ladies in their thirties were discussing their favorite topic: Sex.

Scott Calvin was Sarah Jessica Parker's character, Carrie Bradshaw. Mark Mitchell was Charlotte York, who normally was portrayed by Kristin Davis. Dave Poole played Miranda Hobbes, who was brought to life by Cynthia Nixon. And I was Samantha Jones or Kim Cattrall.

Based on the book by Candace Bushnell, Sex and the City was a smash hit on American cable televsion.

Scott, as Carrie Bradshaw, did the introductory voice over as the camera took the viewer from the busy street exterior into the trendy up-scale restaurant setting.

"Some advertisers claimed that a person's car made a statement about the owner. A BMW Z3 represented power, confidence and daring. A Chrysler Neon represented youth, economy and optimism. But what about a person's pets? If a man owned a dog, was he likely to be as good in bed as a cat owner?"

"So I was coming down the elevator this morning," began Charlotte, "when this cocker spaniel began to sniff my right leg. Then it had the audacity to sniff my crotch. So the owner, a handsome guy, apologized for his dog's indiscretion."
