Spontaneous Combustion

"Spontaneous Combustion" last night was sort of a "Follies Lite" production put on by director Jaime Donegan as an additional fundraiser for Memorial Hospital. By Lite, I mean it was like the Follies but minus a lot of the usual "use-the-cast-you-have" slightly dorky numbers that always come with it. It was one performance instead of three and it was held in the more relaxed atmosphere of The Seasons instead of the Capitol Theater.
I think the main focus of the show was to get everyone drunk, as the cast took breaks about every three numbers so everyone could return to the 4 bars to keep the buzz going. But there was a lot of local talent, some of it absolutely perfect ("Taylor the Latte Boy"--that knocked everyone out!), some big ol' rock numbers that tried to encourage audience participation (not a lot of that, however), and a few numbers everyone could have done without but hey, that's ok too. Everyone deserves their Moment.
But seeing as this is a style blog and not an entertainment blog, let's look at the real stuff:


Tiffany was there to see the show & dressed for the weather--it was a friggin' 98 degrees!--in this royal blue strapless smocked baby doll. Plus the Louis bag, plus big Posh-style sunglasses. She looked a little too chic for the Palm Springs of Washington. And as Posh herself would say, "Maijah! Maijah!"

Christina (gee I hope that's your name, it was getting late & there were a lot of gin tonics involved) was in the show & this was my favorite costume of the night: purple sequined flapper dress! Who wouldn't want to wear this? Plus the moment when she delivered the wine to Bart while he sang Billy Joel was one of the best of the evening. Fearless! Fierce! Furious! Loved her.
