May 06 Katie A name, and also something that brings to mind lively times and all kinds of trouble. (You know, like when school lets out???) This month, I thought about someone else that always brings a smile to my face, and brings joy and laughter to the whole cast - and causes a little bit of trouble on the side. This person is someone who always has a sweet smile, even when she's sad, and works her ass off to get what she has. She is, hands down, one of the most creative people I have ever had the pleasure to meet. Her name is Katie, and I just love her. If you don't know who Katiekins is, she is the cute little blonde who shakes her tailfeather to music before the shows, and wears elaborate and fabulously devilish Trixie costumes. She is always out there busting her ass selling stuff before the show for us, and is one of the big reasons that we have lots and lots of Anime people around. (Yes, she is famous, all of you, remember that.) She comes up with the strangest things to say sometimes, and has this way of breaking tension like you've never heard in your life. The things that she says worry me sometimes, but all in all, I love listening to her talk and her stories. Sometimes a little FYI, as some of the cast things (LOL), but sometimes I wish we could all take a lesson from Katie and say what we really are thinking. I can always depend upon her to have new ideas, and input for whatever it is we are doing. She isn't shy in the least, so her piping up is always helpful when no one else will. So, there is a good chance that you have seen her, and she really is as great as she sounds. If you haven't talked to her, you should say hi. She is everything that fake girls aspire to be but can't, because she is real. Go Katiekins! Tear them up! Madame Leah
