To become a fairy. I had such a fab today today. Stopped off on my way to the party to buy tickets to Giselle for tomorrow night (can't wait), and was of course in fairy mode - minus the wings though, because if you've ever tried to drive in wings you'll know how difficult it is! - and a little boy, about 3 years old, came in with his Mum and was just gobsmacked to see this fairy in the Hillcrest Library! Anyway, I went over and gave him a lollipop and he was stoked; then when he was leaving he came up to me and said, "Bye, Fairy." Absolutely made me melt!
Then came the actual party and it was a blast! The girls really believed I was a real live fairy! So, so cool. They asked me all sorts of questions about fairies, magic and Fairyland and actually believed all the random stuff I made up off the top of my head. The last party I did - also the 1st - the kids were just happy to go along with 'the grown up in a costume' bit, so today was really special. I got lots of hugs, including one from the birthday girl when she opened the present I gave her (a fairy book with a special inscription from Fairy Janine) because now she'll "remember me forever"! Awwww! And another little girl is looking forward to me visiting her tonight with my best friend Claire, the Tooth Fairy lol.
Not bad considering Katie, the birthday girl is a huge Bratz fan and thought a Brat was coming to her party!
Also got the acceptance letter from the producer of 'Annie', I'm in and I'm playing Mary (who the giddy Mary is, I do not know!) and a maid servant, so am stoked about that.
Wonderful, wonderful day :)

Hi Janine! This is April M. I should have made myself known earlier, but errrr ... you know how it is, get distracted with other stuff etc.
Anyway, I didn't know you were a fairy until this blog popped up! Very cool - and what a payoff you had on this day. :D
I've been a life-long friend of the fairy folk, actually I'm an elf.
So yeah, feel free to visit my blog and have a go at guessing some movie quotes. My live journal is where I do most of my 'blogging' and there's a link to it from my blog page.
And have fun at Giselle tonight! I would love to have gone, but have to work, and then there's the staff party tomorrow.
Catch you 'round!
