Sounds like a fun encounter!

[jacq22]

People we meet in our travels are sometimes very strange have a few that remain in my head.

[halfshellvenus]

This was very funny-- and I got such a kick out of those two ladies.

whoosh, he pressed a button and I was flat on my back like a stranded whale!
The line is hilarious, and yet you also have to wonder about the 'gentleman's' idea of wooing techniques.

And the "private detective" line-- that's a new one! Who was he trailing, a hooker? :D

[jacq22]

That was then story she told and I found it amazing too!

Some men do not have wooing techniques only attack strategies.....

[halfshellvenus]

Haha! So true!

Though in this case, she was unsure how to proceed and he was similarly awkward, so I guess the 'broad hint' did the trick.

After all, she seemed a willing participant in the end!

[jacq22]

Yep, willing OK!

Love this....Love you playing with the play form (It's sort of my native form...I'm a playwright first any other sort of writer a distant second).

Too bad I never met one (or what the hell, BOTH) of these er...ladies of substance. Might have been a helluva weekend.

[jacq22]

Would really like to read and understand more about play format...so guess I need to get myself to the library or the internet? Or do I just get plays and read them? Thanks for reading anyway.

[m_malcontent]

It's easy enough to follow...most modern plays are two acts....the first a little longer.

stage directions are centered and in parenthesis usually...you have it pretty much down already.

I’ve never been able to look at a vacuum cleaner in the same way since!

I almost choked on my lunch when I read that line! Sadly, that sounds like my ex-husband! :P

[jacq22]

Glad it made you laugh, but sorry form what was not such a good experience for you in the past....guess we all have a story along those lines.

[whipchick]

So much fun - I love the ladies loving their lives, their food and themselves! Cool to see you playing with this form, too - rock on!

[jacq22]

Thank,you after your erotica I may go down that path, With a steamy play, except of course you do it so darned well! I would pale in comparison. Thanks for taking time for me though..

[whipchick]

Thank you :) And you wouldn't pale, you'd be your own awesome color! I'm thinking of the above piece as a gorgeous, shimmering lavender. (The girl robbers on the lam in Spain were the clear blue of the Mediterranean)
