Introducing.... The Bimbo

This is A Little Off the Top for which I also did costuming.

It is the story of two balding bachelors who, looking for love, invest in a toupee.  To be a little bit more specific, they time share this toupee.  All seems well in love and war until the two lovely love interests show up on the same night...


Hubert, a toupee salesmen offers a Hitler-esque piece which Jerry tries on.

Steve isn't sure about how Jerry looks in the
"up and jumping 'I'm younger than anybody' model"

Hubert, a man with more hair than anybody.
He ends up selling both Steve and Jerry a used toupee
which he stole off the dead guy at his funeral
(They were going to bury him in it and it wasn't even paid for!)

Lisa, that's me, is a sexy, ditzy young woman who works in a novelty shop
(not the balloons and stuff kind) and pursues older men with money.  J
erry, a plummer lies about his profession and Lisa goes for the kill in the supermarket.
Things get hairy when both dates show up on the same evening
as well as some friends of the bachelors!

A few days after the chaos of the dinner with friends,
the two ladies again show up on the same day and this time,
the bachelors don't do so well keeping their bald heads covered.

Lisa, upon discovering that her 'boy'friend is bald, runs screaming from the house.
Cheryl, the nurse, is a bit more understanding.

And we bow.

This was a fun show, save for the fact that some people never ended up memorizing their lines and screwed everything up night after night.... Also, that crazy dude who made life a little hellish was in it.  He's the one who Lisa pursued.  Let's just say that he's sixty and I had to sit on his lap.
