Cher parody - parody of Gypsies Tramps & Thieves

Cher parody - as she opens in BURLESQUE, Cher's been talking about the surprise of the aches and pains of middle age, but also stays modern with being an active computer communicator with her fans

FLY ME IN THE NUDE update: Airline full-body scanner video: not technically viral, but over 30,000

I'd promised myself this blog wouldn't be mainly about quantity of viewer numbers, but this video is attracting more new people to this blog than all the new recent ones this month, so I hope it's not annoying to old friends that I'm quickly referencing/plugging it again.  (If you've seen it, it's the same one you already saw.)

Draft of "Chrysanthemum Tea Party" video

Posted this (it's still kind of a draft, unlisted but accessible from here) after seeing Brandy lose to Bristol Palin on "Dancing with the Stars" on Tuesday night, and then the next day seeing reports about an outgoing Rep asking Nancy Pelosi to step aside as Democratic House leader AND Sarah Palin's intimation that she could beat Pres. Obama.

The Wasserstein Prize - now that they're reconsidering, hope it's OK to parody about it!

Here's my parody video take on this, with a hypothetical young female playwright facing being told that no under-32 female playwrights are good enough, and spilling her angst over this into her first play.  :)

Airline "nude" scanners are back in the news - brought this (G-rated) one past 25,000 views

"Fly Me In The Nude" - going though the full-body scanners at Newark Airport.  

I'd tried for a visual equivalent to make (very affectionate) fun of what Twyla Tharp did with movement in her Broadway - and now Vegas - Sinatra show, and the video part came out a little too simple for some of the commenters - the visual may not have totally worked, but the parody song has gotten nice reaction!!

I finally figured out the simple way to make these groupings on YouTube.  (You just put a unique set of words into the video descriptive info.)  Thanks for whatever you have time to listen to!
