The face powder dust

Two years ago I was in a play here in Chicago, can you believe it?? I performed with this lovely girl, Kelly*... a great actress and a truly sweet person. She is funny and kind and seriously so magnetic as a performer- she's that type of person you instantly wanted to be friends with....

As an equally cool woman myself, naturally Kelly and I became fast friends.

Now I have been in plays where you make friends and then once the show is over- poof these people are out of your life, but you can tell which friendships will last and which won't... I was fairly certain Kelly and I would remain friends long after the play ended. But, turns out, as soon as the show was over we lost instant contact.. It saddened me a bit, but I knew that is the nature of the theater beast, you become really close with people in a short period of time, and then you move on...

Anyway I always thought it a little strange that Kelly and I didn't even really try to remain friends because we did genuinely get along, but whatever, these things happen...

So now fast forward and I have worked again with this theatre group and Kelly is heavily involved with them..I see her and we catch up a little and I continue to receive emails from the studio, and now Kelly as she's pushing various fundraisers for the company... well low and behold today I received the email that confirmed why Kelly and I naturally went our separate ways....

And rip, another good girl bites the face powder dust.
