Divas and Divos

Tonight Brian and I watched a show about the dressing room demands that divas and divos make when they travel. Some of them were quite funny. Jennifer Lopez demands that all things in her dressing room are white...walls, couches, rugs, roses...and so on. Elton John refuses to have any cold cuts on his buffet table, and he must have an over abundance of flowers. Pavarotti's dressing room contract says that there must not be any distinct smells near the artist at anytime. He also needs a golf cart at his disposal at all times. All of that was pretty funny to us. So we decided to come up with our own list of dressing room demands...

Brian the divo - he says he would request that his buffet table have Pappadeaux's crawfish platter on it...every night. He also wants a big flower arrangement in his dressing room. Not many...just one nice big one. (You should have seen the arm gestures he made while describing this arrangement.) A few other things he mentioned...mirrors on three of the walls so that he could see himself at anytime...and be surrounded by the only one he could trust, bottles of cold pomegranate juice available at his disposal, and Devo's greatest hits playing in the background at all times.

Natalie the diva - my buffet table would need to have many types of finger foods...mostly consisting of the seafood variety. I would also love to have flowers...not too many...and not strong scented ones. I think I would also love to have lots of comfortable seating for all my many dressing room guests. And clean....everything must be clean...and smell clean. Music...my tastes are ever changing so I can't just choose one person or even type of music to play... And water...I am picky about my water. I don't want expensive water...just good tasting water. Drinking water...not spring water or mineral water. And I want it to be cold. Aquafina is fine. Nice lotion, carmex, a box of tissues...soft ones, and a toothbrush and toothpaste would be just about it for me. I'm sure if I really was a diva I would actually have more demands...but I can't think of any right now!
