It would seem that my daily ritual of reciting affirmations into the bathroom mirror has finally paid off and it feels BEYOND fabulous to be recognized by someone other than myself for my enormous and undeniable talents!! ๐ญ I would like to THANK the ACADEMY of @rndyounghowze for attending the show and providing much-need validation by bestowing this wonderful award upon me! I would also like to thank the BEAUTIFUL babies of @pghfringe for their tireless efforts in assembling such a GLORIOUS virtual festival. You would be hard-pressed to find a more caring, communicative and accommodating team of festival organizers and I had a FABULOUS time! I share this award with my brilliant collaborator, and Musical Director, "Frankey Keys" Spitznagel. Where would I be without Frankey Keys? Singing a capella - ๐ฉ๐๐๐ฉ'๐จ ๐ฌ๐๐๐ง๐!! And THANK YOU to my always cool as a cucumber Tech, Tori Smith who brings ME to YOU on the Virtual Stage through the magic of the internet! Last, but NEVER least, my dearest, most wonderful Shane (aka Sean Taylor) who keeps me sane, loved and happily entertained when I'm not entertaining you!! From the bottom of my humbled little heart, ๐ง๐๐๐ก๐ ๐ฌ๐ข๐จ.
