WAITING
SYNOPSIS
ROSIE is just been informed that MICHAEL her fiancé
is dead. She’s informed that he died in a bomb explosion in his living room. But
Rosie refuses to believe the story despite all available evidence. Instead, she chooses to wait for a different report even if it means doing so forever. What then
becomes of her under the circumstance as her father suddenly disowns and sends
her packing from his house rather than show love and sympathy?
PROLOGUE
The actions here are partly in mime. Lights meet ROSIE returning to her room from lectures, drops her books and handbag on the reading table, and puts on the radio set, while a rap musical begins to play she prepares herself a glass of water, takes a sip, dances to the music in a manner showing she is in tune with the times. Now the phone (landline) rings, she stops dancing, lowers the volume of the music, and picks up the call.
ROSIE
(on the phone)
Rosie, speaking. Who’s on the line? … Oh, Michael, Darling … I’m fine. And you? (the voice on the other end seems in a hurry) Darling, what’s the hurry? I mean, your voice is shaky, and … where? … but-but why – Hello! (no response) Hello, Michael! (no response) Hello! (no response).
Seems confused for a moment, she attempts to call a number from her mobile, hesitates, picks up her handbag, starts for the door, hesitates, attempts it again, enter MOTHER, weeping silently, tears welling up her eyes, stripping her cheeks.
MOTHER
(toneless)
Rosie!
ROSIE
(curious)
Yes, mother. What’s the problem? Why are you crying? (no response) Mother, please talk to me … what’s the problem?
MOTHER
Michael … Michael Majek is dead …
ROSIE
(confused)
Dead? No! No, mother. He couldn’t be dead. I mean, I have just spoken with him on the phone and he said he –
MOTHER
Rosie, he’s dead … Michael is dead …

NewsRoundUp at this time sets out with the shocking story from Egypt of a Mum allegedly hacking her 5-year-old son to death and then cooking and eating his head. According to the local Egyptian media report which also claims the suspect committed the crime with a machete and cooked and ate part of his head, her arrest has been effected after the boy's horrified uncle found body parts in buckets at the home in Abu Shalabi, Egypt. Officers were shocked when the suspect, Hanaa, confessed that she had eaten part of her son's head because she "wanted him to stay with her forever".
“ Hello!” he said confidently as party jams fill the atmosphere.
“ Hi!” the lady responds arrogantly.
“We seem to be the only ones not catching the fun at this party, don’t you
think so?” he fired.
“Please, excuse me. I’m not interested in the pleasure of any conversation.
Thank you!” she snapped.

XCLUSIVE INTERACTIVE courtesy, Interview Magazine features Sasha Velour in an interview with Mikelle Street captioned: Sasha Velour Delivers a Long Drunken Drag Bar Speech
On season nine of RuPaul’s Drag Race (which she ultimately won), Sasha Velour developed a bit of a reputation. She was called the face of Brooklyn drag, with performances that were both artsy and extremely studied. And it’s true: Sasha Velour is a glossy, living piece of art, but she also thinks deeply about who she is, what that represents, and the impact she can have. This all crystallizes in her new book The Big Reveal, which is part-memoir, part-drag history, part-manifesto, addressing queer expression and gender variance at the macro level, literally beginning with the Mesolithic age, and also the micro, sharing intimate details of her post-Drag Race reign.
