cabaret

been working diligently and with inspiration on a new project, a cabaret show based on the music of sam phillips. it's been quite exciting, to do the writing and to be enjoying the process of writing. lately i've felt stunted and dull when faced with an idea and a blank page, so this feeling is kind of thrilling. i've come across such a wealth of crazy information while doing research, like this picture of a prostitute in the wild west of the 1800's. this one was a "crib girl", usually a drug addict working out of a tiny room (aka "a crib").
