TGIF Gorgeous!
I am a huge Disney fan and have been for some time!
One of my all time, I mean, all time favorite movies is the Disney animation film Beauty and the Beast.
Years ago I auditioned for the part of Belle in Los Angeles. The Broadway play was coming to the Shubert theater. Here's the bottom line. To my ever living chagrin.
I lied on the application.
You had to be a minimum of 5'8" to fit the yellow ball gown.
I'm almost 5'3" but I can PLAY 5'8".
At
the audition, there were rows and rows of gorgeous ladies, patiently standing in line waiting to run the short dance steps we learned and then sing a few bars.
I was in the
second row standing side by side with these creatures who were part legs and part lungs.
Imagine what it looks like: 5'8" tall ladies, and then me: a far enough past 5'2" that I may as well say 5'3", let alone 5'8"
Ha!
It was so obvious!
The casting director was filled with grace and let me
finish the audition when he should have called me out on the lie and tossed me on my bum!
It was clear, I was not going to make the cut.
I am sorry for lying. Though I am proud of myself for trying against all odds!
So what does all of this have to do with Disney and Beauty and the Beast?
SoHo has a line of beauty tools and makeup bags with some characters, including Belle.

I'm such a Disney fan and these bags do not dissapoint!
