My friend lynette god rest her soul,

Sorry, oh god I am so sorry...

Excuse me.

Does that hurt?

Hi my name is Mae...

I think your smiling to much.

(Rose) Look at them....

They all seem so serious.

(Mae using a really deep voice)

(Rose) Mae lets get out of here we don't belong here.

We are not going anywhere till we find someone for Brian.

Oh for goodness sakes.

Mae.... MAE?

Never mind.

Excuse me....

Rose did you find anyone while I was gone?

No.

I swear I don't know how these gay men

meet each other is they don't even crack a smile.

(Rose whispers to Mae)

And why didn't you go before you left?

You were rushing me.

Go then.

Meanwhile I am going to make these men talk to me.

If I can face down those daughters of the confederacy,

I can certainly win over some stuffy homosexuals.

Hey there, I'm Mae Davis.

Oh my but isn't it a lovely evening?

Oh my god!

What do we have here?

What drapes died and made that?

Grandma the sound of music look is sooo over

This I wouldn't bury my dead cat in this.

I'm sorry....

I didn't mean to intrude.

Please don't hurt me.

I know karate.

Foxy?

Yes Fantasia

A tiara?

Really?

I don't want any trouble.

You don't want any trouble?

But my dear life is trouble and it wouldn't be any fun if it wasn't.

Salsa

Yes Fantasia?

Does my memory fail me?

I don't remember inviting this "person" into my parlour.

And she certainly does not meet the dress code.

I am so sorry I didn't mean to intrude,

I just thought....

You would pop in and take a look at the freak show?

See how the other half was living?

Take a walk on the wild side?

and then rush back to your bridge club

to tell them some shocking little story.

No.... I am looking for a husband.

You do know what kind of club your in?

(everyone laughs)

Not for me.

It's for my nephew Brian

Oh wow he is cute.

Well you know his last relationship just turned out real bad,

and his mum and I want to find someone nice for him.

Some to make him smile.

Well you know what I mean.

When my mommy found out I was gay

she kicked me out of the house.

Mine did have a few unkind words on the subject.

Rose is it?

I am the Lady Fantasia Extravaganza

Charmed.

And this my protege and BFF, Miss Salsa Roha

Charmed.

I just love your outfit.

Are those chimmy chews?

Good eye.

You know what chimmy chews are?

I have never seen any in real life

but I have read all about them in Glamour Magazine.

You read Glamour Magazine?

From cover to cover.

I practically devour the whole thing the moment it arrives,

all those beautiful clothes

And yet you dress like this?

Oh I couldn't wear anything like that.

I am not like you two,

I am not a model.

Oh I am nobody special.

My dear you don't know how wrong you are.

Ladies, it's glamour time!

I don't believe a word of it but thank you.

That nice man just said hello to you and you just sneered at him.

Because he is like 100 years old
