Cousins Grimm/Pride Parade

Monday, July 6th, 2009

One of the more tedious things an actor must go through in super-stardom is public appearances and show promotions. I had one such commitment a couple weekends ago.

What!?!?!

There are no handlers for this event! Do you KNOW WHO I AM!??!

4956_1164654603544_1443246852_30450060_2220377_nWe’re always asked the same questions at these events:

1)”What do you do to get into character?” I meditate for 3 hours in the downward dog position and do a shot of wheatgrass juice.

2)”How is your show relevant in today’s political atmosphere?” Our show is about love. Love is love man. No one should tell anyone else who to love man. Make love not war. Love is love.

And at this particular event there was a third request repeated over and over.

3)”Show us your boobs!” Excuse me? How dare you!!??!?! I’m an artist not some hussy!!

P.S. I do apologize for this post. I’m in tech(hell) week and I’ve lost what’s left of my feeble mind. Do forgive me.

Love Harmonique Francious

P.S.S If you think this post is crazy, come see me in my show opening on Sunday. You’ll see me be a real lunatic, and wear a fatsuit, and there’s girl on girl action, and male nudity. What more do you need really?

Some afternoon funny…

Tuesday, June 16th, 2009

This isn’t theater related, but it is hilarious. These are LITERAL videos. Basically, instead of the actual lyrics they sing what’s happening in these cracked out 80’s videos. Thank God for 80’s videos!

Miranda Sings/Is she for real?

Saturday, April 18th, 2009

Alright so this was a pretty viral video being passed around for some time. Each one of MirandaSings’ videos get thousands of comments. Nobody can tell if she is for real. In this video she gives us a free voice lesson! Check it out!

If that wasn’t enough for you. Check this one out!

Anyway, you could spend HOURS watching her YOUTUBE CHANNEL. There is Opera, Pop, Musical Theater you name it.

So….what do you think? Terribly clueless, or comic genius? If you read the comments on her videos they fall into two trains of thought. Half of the people think she’s serious and are completely horrified and the other half think she’s an amazing comedian. The comments are all similar to these:

-”You are a very sick and foolish young woman. If you had any talent at all it would be obvious! Who has encouraged you to believe you can sing and worse to teach what you can’t do?! You have no pedagogical skills, and absolutely no knowledge of the mechanism called the larynx. You are a menace and should have psychiatric help to get you through the rest of your life, if some singer doesn’t kill you first for passing on your absolute stupidity.”

-”You guys are all idiots. She is obviously joking, This girl is genius. She deserves a spot on SNL.”

Well I FOUND HER OUT.

Her real name is Colleen Ballinger and she can sing very well.

And YES she’s a comic genius.
