Thanks for The Nutcracker story - I have another ‘George Santos’ story myself - not about me - about my offspring (ok, maybe a little about me) -
My offspring was performing in The Wizard of Oz (first act - Lullaby League - I think) - I was in all the acts (that was my George Santos part) - anyway -
The Moscow Classical Ballet (them Russkies) came to town and needed a lead child ballet dancer - unfortunately almost all the dancers in town were already in other local productions of the Nutcracker or other Holiday shows - so my offspring had to be ferried across town (after performing in Oz) in the back of the mini van being dressed and doing hair - then she had to be sewn into her costume by a Russkie? speaking seamstress - then she had to lead the other children on stage and keep track of them off stage - it was amazing (as is my daughter of course) - I don’t know how to post pictures here ;/
Re the pix, if you want, you can post them in the overnight chat (click “chat” at the top of the main Wonkette home page where all those sections are listed). Or if you don’t like to do it that way, you can add them in your personal Substack “notes” section. Although be advised that the notes go out to everyone on Substack, not just Wonkette folks.
Thanks I’ve never really caught on to the sub stack thing since the transition - I sometimes drop a picture of SomeKat on ZW’s chat - I’ll put one there now - LOL -

my favorite memory of Christmas was meeting my dad in the city and going to see The Nutcracker at the Philadelphia ballet. Thanks for the memories!!

I will go look for it 😄
I just dropped a couple there - sorry for the quality- pictures in a frame thing -
I took my nephews to see The Nutcracker when they were 7 & 8.
Not one of Uncle's better ideas. They were so bored. So then I took them paintballing.
That was a smash hit. So someone needs to add paintball to one of their productions.....maybe during the March of the Wooden Soldiers
😆
