Hey my dudes. Question for you. You know when you have that thought – “Man, I just wish my shirt was 16 inches lower than normal…” or also the thought – “Geez, if only I could just cover my glutes with the bottom of a skirt-shirt” Well – YOU’RE IN LUCK. @caseycott and I are announcing our new clothing line “The Low Stuff.” Just a bunch of shirts that go super low and cover up those bangin glutes. No more feeling insecure about the top of your thighs, or wondering “Shoot – is she gonna notice my spasming glute from my squat pump today?” Also, our fabric allows a refreshing draft throughout the flow of the skirt. Never again will you exhaustingly exclaim “I NEED A LOW WIND DRAFT STAT!” Our inventory is very limited. It includes these two shirts, and that’s it. They cost $10,000,000 each. And if you buy them in the next 24 hours – congrats! Come cover those thighs, guys!
In honor of @rentonfox tonight, I give you the OG Mark, Collins, and Roger. Circa 2008. OG meaning the “Original Guys of the Ohio Premiere of Rent STUDENT Edition” of course. Stagecrafters in Pepper Pike, OH. Man, boys, did we have it all. Bronzer. Blonde extensions cut down to look like highlights. But the question that perplexes me most – why has @bygonebroadway not posted this yet? It’s beyond me. Anyway – what a time to be alive. I miss these days. Thanks for sending the throwback @maxcherns. Love you @plznfanku.

Question: If you get a new pair of Warby’s and don’t post it on Instagram in front of greenery and tag @warbyparker, did it even really happen? Thanks so much @warbyparker (for letting me come in your store and try on glasses and buy them like everybody else). #NotAnAd #NotYETAnAd #ILoveYouWarby #PickMe #CanIBeASponsor #LastOnePicked #EvenInMiddleSchool #EspeciallyInMiddleSchool #AlwaysPickedLast #IJustWantToPlayCoach #PutMeInTheGame #SnowCone #Grape
This post is crushing it in my DMs right now so I thought I’d give it a permanent place on my feed. They also pooped at the same time right before this, so #bonding #poopsync
All the Christmas colors. Thanks for having me @bwayprincesspty. I’ll come sing anytime….AKA January 18th in Kansas City! And Princess Osnes, @brauhala and I are doing our night of duets at @mththeater 1/16 and 1/17. (My autocorrect changed “duet” to “diet” now I’m questioning whether we should do a night of diets instead. Whaddya think @lauraosnes?) 📷: @rebeccajmichelson
“Tell Me How You Really Feel” – a new multi-cam sitcom premiering this spring! Reviews are coming in, and they are incredible! The Times raves “All the characters just stare” and the Manhattan Chronicle exclaims “There’s no plot. Just a bunch of white people in funeral clothes judging each other.” Ha ha! I’m thinking we are in for 7 seasons and movie, guys! Here we go! Before you watch that though, come check out “The Scarlet Pimpernel” this Monday 2/18. Photo: @wmcb15
