More Absurd Things



Just off the top of my head at 3 AM here are some more absurd things:
1. The platypus
2. Places that hired blacked performers in the 50's and 60's, but didn't allow them to eat in the restaurants and hotels they were performing at.
3. Racism, it's just absurd, period. We should be judged on our character, not our color.
4. Colorism: If you don't know what that is, look it up.
5. All the women that want to be blonds. I don't know if they have more fun but we are making hair dye companies and beauty salons rich.
6. Teeth that don't grow back. That's crazy. Will someone please figure out a way to regrow teeth?
7. Expecting women to dress their age. We should be able to wear what we want. If you don't want to look at us, get a blindfold.
8. The Music Industry. Why do they get to pick who deserves publicity and who doesn't.
9. Ageism in Dancing. Dancing should be for everyone, not just skinny young women.
10. Insomnia How come I'm not in bed?

First Post and What's Up With This?



A random series of events clicked for me and suddenly Theodora's Theater of the Absurd was born. A while back I was doing research for a name I could use while doing Steampunk events, and I chose the name Theodora. Then I decided to use the name as a vampire character for Vampire Wars. Then just a day or two ago, I heard the term 'theater of the absurd' somewhere. Now I can't remember where I heard it but I started thinking about my love for the absurd. And the list began to grow. I have to add things like Yellow Submarine and the Blue Meanies, this odd doll I saw on an Etsy video where it was like a zeppelin but had the face of a smiling girl, A book of surrealistic circus illustrations, the current revival of circus arts, my love of juggling, and being a mime in the past. And seeing the Salvador Dali exhibit at LACMA with my daughter.

In fact I would love to put on white face, take my hoop to a hoop meeting in a public park and spend the day hooping and never say a word to anyone. That's just the kind of absurdity I'm talking about. I don't fit in with other hoopers anyway, so why not do it my own way?
