"A Little Bit Wicked"... I LOVED IT!!

Okay, so I'm in love with vacation, because it means that I can read... and I LOVE to read. Now, one of the latest books that I read was the biography of a 4' 11" AMAZING diva... Kristin Chenoweth. Those of you who don't know who she is... her claims to fame are that she was the original Glinda in Wicked and she played Olive Snook on "Pushing Daisies". Her biography pretty much rocks... so I would like to share with you some of the little snippets from "A Little Bit Wicked".

At the airport... "He takes my tweezers, and I need my tweezers. Why, why, why do they always commandeer my dang tweezers? Let me just say right now and for the record that I, Kristi Dawn Chenoweth, do solemnly swear that I will never hack through a Kevlar door and stab a pilot in the neck with my tweezers. I will never seek, nor have I ever sought, to overthrow the government of the United States of America by force of tweezer." (p. 9)

"My real mom is Junie Smith Chenoweth. Her name is a bright wink to her birthday, the first of June, and she is the best mom in the world. (I'm sorry if you were under the mistaken impression that your mom is the best mom in the world or that there might be moms in Portugal or Wisconsin who come close. That's not the case.)" (p. 12)

On her first love of ballet..."I vaguely remember my first recital. I was a tulip. I had to pee. One of the other tulips did pee. I immediately realized that this was not a good choice." (p. 31)

After fracturing her coccyx... "I no longer do the splits. And I can't tell you how happy I am that it's no longer required of me. The lasting legacy of the Cooter Smash is that I'm the first to know when it's going to rain. That's right. I both sing and predict the weather with my hoo hoo. Mozart, meteorology, plus all the usual stuff. And yet I remain single. 'Splain it to me, Lucy." (p.51)

Finally finishing her Master's degree... "At the time, I figured, Hey, I'm getting the work; what difference does it make? But of couse it makes a lot of difference. I have a master's degree in a classical discipline. That's a little bit of boo yah! in the ol' curriculum vitae, if I do say so myself." (pg. 93)
