DEREK AND JULIANNE HOUGH---MOVE LIVE TOUR






DEREK AND JULIANNE WERE SOLD OUT  at the Orpheum in downtown Los Angeles It was a perfect venue, full of grand architecture and roomy enough that all the dancers could come into the audience and dance with them.

MOVE LIVE is a high-powered show that never stops. I didn't count, but there probably were eight back-up dancers---four women and four men, and they were sensational. There were solo Julianne numbers; solo Derek numbers; Derek-Julianne dance and song duets; songs by each. They did everything from Hip-Hop to Broadway to rock and country. It was a terrific, high-energy fun fest.

Both Derek and Julianne are triple-threats--dancing, singing and acting. It will be really fun seeing where their careers go in the future.






DEREK AND JULIANNE JUST KILLED IT




AMY PURDY, DEREK'S DANCE PARTNER ON "DANCING" WAS MOBBED AT INTERMISSION

Oh, it's time to start livin'! Lucie Arnaz has been cast as Pippin’s trapeze-flying grandmother Berthe in the first national tour of Diane Paulus' Tony-winning revival of Roger O. Hirson and Stephen Schwartz’s Pippin. As previously announced, Sasha Allen and Kyle Selig will play the Leading Player and Pippin, respectively, in the reimagined show. The tour of Pippin will launch in Denver, CO on September 10.

Arnaz is the daughter of actors Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz. She made her Broadway debut in They're Playing Our Song. Arnaz earned a Best Supporting Actress Golden Globe nomination for her performance in 1980's The Jazz Singer, and won an Emmy Award for her documentary Lucy and Desi: A Home Movie. Her other stage credits include My One and Only, Annie Get Your Gun, Whose Life Is It Anyway?, The Guardsman, The Wizard of Oz in Concert: Dreams Come True, The Witches of Eastwick, Vanities, Lost in Yonkers, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and Master Class.

Pippin tells the story of a young prince (Selig) on a death-defying journey to find meaning in his existence. Will he choose a happy but simple life? Or will he risk everything for a singular flash of glory? The show is noted for many Broadway standards including “Magic To Do,” “Corner of the Sky,” “Glory,” “No Time at All,” “Morning Glow” and “Love Song.”

This all-new production of Pippin features choreography by Tony nominee Chet Walker in the style of Bob Fosse and circus creation by Gypsy Snider of the Montreal-based circus company Les 7 doigts de la main (also known as 7 Fingers). The show opened on Broadway on April 25, 2013 and went on to win four 2013 Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical and Best Director of a Musical for Paulus. In addition, Andrea Martin won the Tony Award for Best Featured Actress in a Musical for her perfomance as Berthe.

LARRY FLYNT'S PORN PARTY--40TH ANNIVERSARY OF HUSTLER MAGAZINE YIKES!!!!!!!!!!




THIS KIND OF SAYS IT ALL..............

The party, produced by Connie Armijo of Connie and Co. Events was a perfect over-the top show that was a cross between a deranged Busby Berekeley, Linda Lovelace, and the Ziegfield Follies.






 It's hard to see because of the lighting, but the lobby of the Park Plaza Hotel was a wow. Larry Flynt and his daughter, Theresa, are in front of the large plastic bubble with a human, nude butterfly in it. On either side of them is a champagne girl wearing a skirt of champagne glasses ready to drink.

There was a drinks lounge room, and 40s nightclub room, and in each there were pole dancers and beds. Outside was turned into a "Porn Garden" with buffets and lounging areas, plus more pole dancing and "beds with nude people on them moving around." (Best way to say that). All the girls were nude and had body paint on that looked like garters, lace panties, etc. Naturally the men wore tiny shorts. God forbid they had to totally strip like the women. Inequality even in porn.

ALL OF THE PHOTOS OF PEOPLE WILL BE FROM THE BACK.



Larry admires a display. The panties are painted on.--The Girl, NOT Larry


This is at the beginning of the party. I guess the men preferred drinks over girls at that point
