How I Learned To Love Drag Part 6

"I'm so glad that Ted Walters called in that choreographer, Julien Allard, to help with the dance steps."

"It was funny. Right behind the camera was Julien doing those dance steps. And while the audience may believe you were looking at the camera, you were copying Julien's movements, step for step."

"I hope it will look like I knew what I was doing, although I think Dave had the harder dance routine to learn. Michael Jackson probably set the standard for music video choreography."

"And finishing with Michael Jackson wrecking that Pepsi vending machine. That was so funny!"

"I don't know how the set crew came up with that mock up so quickly. The work that everyone associated with the show does is just incredible. You guys really do earn your Genie Awards."

"Thanks . . . How did you guys ever come up with the idea? Was it because of the Pepsi commercials?" asked May.

"Sometimes I'm not really sure where the ideas spring from," I admitted. "I mean, I can't speak for Dave, but when an idea pops into my head, it's intuitive. It can come from anywhere. It's like a snippet from a music video, a scene from a commercial, a byte from an interview or a magazine article - there are all these different sources. It's like the ingredients to a cake. You combine many different elements. On their own they may be tasteless. But when the cake comes out of the oven all done, it tastes great! And it's like magic because the dough, the flour and the yeast and the baking soda don't taste good on their own, but when you combine them with nuts and cherries and chocolate, the whole thing is transformed. It's like alchemy. Lead gets turned into gold."

"And that rich chocolate cake gets turned into fat for most people. Except you."

"Oh, I've been trying to lose that weight to get my waist down."

"Have you been using the corset?" she whispered, aware that the people sitting nearby might think it odd.
