von Hottie: The Blog

You know you’re marginally famous when . . . someone blogs your favorable review before you do!

Thanks, turnabout for being more on top of it than my press agent, and for seeing the show! Obviously, I’m flattered by the review, although as Associate Artistic Director of Little Lord, I’m a bit disappointed that the review wasn’t more favorable overall. I really do believe in our quirky, hammy, earnest, found-text little heart, I do! But press is press,right? My ego thanks Time Out New York kindly.

To answer Jaimealyse’s question - unless I’m in the full bathing suit/pinup getup, I usually perform under my regular person name and am listed so in the program. (I’m Laura von Holt, people! That’s my name! I’m also von Hottie! We’re the same! Hope I haven’t ruined it for you, sorry.) Anyway, I think the confusion happened because I list von Hottie in my bio in the program, and also because when Time Out reviewed The Pronoun ‘I’, Helen Shaw mentioned me as “the cheerful pinup” and linked to my website. I dunno - I guess when you review a lot of things it might add some flavor to your day if you can refer to a performer as von Hottie? Certainly I was having enough wardrobe malfunctions the evening she saw THIRST(y) to warrant a pinup context. Whoopsie! Note to self: six sticks of double-sided tape does not a brassiere make.

If like, Time Out, you want to get lost at sea with me, show up TONIGHT at 8pm at Incubator Arts Project. There’s more free punch with a “punch,” wink wink. Tickets here.

p.s. Oh haaayyy, now I warrant my own tag on Upstaged! We’re big time now!!!!! Is this what being starfucked in the press is like? Brantley, I’m ready for you now, lover!
