227

Monday afternoons Lemon and I often reenact old TV shows of the 80s and 90s. Today was 227. He insisted he play Pearl because he likes to keep an eye out on strangers who pass the apartment and, I am finding, he likes to keep well caught up on the Amherst neighborhood gossip. I started out playing Sandra but found the high heel shoes and pitch voice difficult to carry past two episodes. I switched to the Marla Gibbs character Mary Jenkins about halfway through our rehearsal. She was a much more sensible woman.



Here are pictures of Lemon and I acting out the episode when the 227 tenants all go to Atlantic City for a Luther Vandross concert for Pearl's birthday. Instead of a birthday cake I put a little wax candle in a dog biscuit.
