She also said the dress was so heavy that if you took a bow while wearing it you'd chip your teeth.Octopunkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948127593611773731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15353017.post-6428528826633841412007-09-18T13:02:00.000-07:002007-09-18T13:02:00.000-07:00That's funny because she was just in the news rece...That's funny because she was just in the news recently after her famous dress was stolen. It has since been recovered.<BR/><BR/>I thought she died long ago.JPXhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03213973405902714780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15353017.post-14920317598965780332007-09-18T10:15:00.000-07:002007-09-18T10:15:00.000-07:00Um, to clarify, I don't think Carol Channing is an...Um, to clarify, I don't think Carol Channing is anything like a monkey.<BR/><BR/>What I mean is that those once in a lifetime experiences where you say, "That kicked ass!!!" are so rare. So jungle was one, and Carol Channing another.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and getting back together with Octo was another one!!!Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184365519786868306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15353017.post-24349194079517666612007-09-18T10:13:00.000-07:002007-09-18T10:13:00.000-07:00See, there's just no way to really do Carol Channi...See, there's just no way to really do Carol Channing justice. You can say she's amazing, and you can watch her on video, but seeing her live, I really feel like we witnessed such a rare and totally memorable experience. I doubt we'll have much longer to catch her live, period, but I'd recommend trying to see her, if at all possible.<BR/><BR/>OK, no exaggeration, watching her was tantamount to this experience I had in Indonesia in the rain forest. I was like, "Dude! This is so for real! When have I ever been in a for REAL jungle? When will it ever happen again? Look, a monkey! Holy crap! I never thought I'd see this except in movies."<BR/><BR/>It's that outstanding--you just can't believe someone could own the stage like she does.<BR/><BR/>So that's my attempt to capture the essence of it--but I don't think hyperbole can match experience in this case.<BR/><BR/>And speaking of things that were fantastic, the fireworks made me feel like I was six years old. I tend to not get excited about fireworks anymore, but I'm sure I had such a stupid grin on my face the entire time we were watching those.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00184365519786868306noreply@blogger.com
