Bounce With Me (Kreesha Turner song)
Thanks for withdrawing the AfD on this. I have to say that the article's creator did everything possible to make it sensible to do it in the first place, so I actually have to applaud you for taking the time and trouble to post the AfD... it was the right thing to do, given the circumstances. I had a particular interest in this one -- I'm a grumpy old guy who doesn't like much that he hears on the radio these days, but this particular song I enjoyed a lot. Check it out, I think it's free on iTunes. Accounting4Taste: talk 16:44, 5 August 2008 (UTC)

 * I've unblocked the user. It was not promoting anything resembling the username.  I've also left them a note about possibly changing their username, to avoid any further problems that may arise.  But, looking at his deleted contribs, I see no problem with the username at this point. - Rjd0060 (talk) 18:40, 13 August 2008 (UTC)
 * (ec)They have been unblock, seeing as the block was very hasty. In the future I recommend leaving the user some form of waring such as uw-username allowing them time to request their username be changed before they are blocked (seeing as that comes across bitey). Also an administrator whom has blocked a user should never decline their unblock request, as it is clear what your opinion about the block is seeing that you blocked them, always wait for a third opinion.

 * (edit conflict) There is no problem with it (at this point - unless they start promoting something with the same name) though - even if you did have a problem with it, why not politely leave a note for them? Blocking immediately in this case, as Tip pointed out, was a bitey move. - Rjd0060 (talk) 18:45, 13 August 2008 (UTC)

Sarah Happel, Modelogues Pages
Hello, I am currently building multiple wikipedia pages. I am an award winning writer/ producer/ director in Hollywood California. Several of my projects include a play Modelogues,films, and The Amazing Race. I am trying to learn to build these pages and link them and in between they are getting deleted. I understand that initially it may be called "advertising" but I'm just trying to get them started and build from there. The Amazing Race has won numerous producer Emmy's collaboratively and my play is being published by and extremely large publishing house, Players Press. The play is well known in Hollywood and will be going to NYC in a couple months. I hope you can understand that productions such as "Wicked" and "Chorus Line" start out this same way. I am not trying to "advertise" the play. I don't need to. My book is being published by Random House Publishing which is one of the largest book publishers in the world. I have taken my movies to dozens of festivals around the United States and I have won several directors awards. So anyway, this is not an advertisement for myself this is information about the festivals, books, play, television productions, and films. I am slow at building these sites because I am in the middle of the production of the Amazing Race. I would really appreciate it if I could have a few days to build these sites without them getting deleted. Thank You. Sarahhappel (talk) 19:03, 20 August 2008 (UTC)

L'Hermione
I see you renamed the page I created.

I had assumed from other pages that the Name(frigate) convention was for British ships.

I used French ship Hermione in order to be consistent with a large number of other articles about French ships. For example: French ship Achille (1803), French ship Agréable and so on.

Your renaming of the page has obviously broken links I have inserted elsewhere, including fr.wikipedia.

Can you please justify the renaming?

Modelogues Page
Hi, the play Modelogues ran last fall for six weeks from Sept 6 - Oct 13 2007 in Hollywood at The Complex Theater. We sold out nearly every night of a three night a week performance schedule. So I need to reference right? Something was said about the reviews being "trivial" however, in Los Angeles being reviewed by LA Weekly, La Times, KCLA, and the Ticket Stub is considered a large staging on Theater Row Los Angeles. I had those reviews up and they were removed. Players Press which is one of the three largest publication houses for plays is publishing the play and it will be available in stores this winter. I guess I'm having a hard time understanding "citing sources" because so much of our marketing was done on the web. Our tickets could be bought on the web through Goldstar, Plays411, and our site. Tickets also sold at the door. So how do I reference that? People blogged about the play because it was popular, I didn't intend to cite blogs. I understand that some plays are not known by people not inside the theater world but we were approached by NBC and other networks for show development. I am a television producer so that is something that is being developed now. I'm not advertising the play. It is not in the middle of a run right now. It's already finished and being published. I mentioned in a previous feed that people try seeking me out to find where to buy it and find data on it so someone suggested I stick it on wikipedia. I would like to have it on wikipedia but I only have so much time in a day to battle getting it on. I'm putting links that I hope will be considered appropriate sources below. Please let me know if this will satisfy you. Also, I can have our PR team contact you or our marketing team (APB Media) if that is what you would like.

Modelogues
1. Ok, I really don't have too much more other than Tolucan Times issue #40 by reviewed by Amy Bowker:

HOLLYWOOD – An evening of vignettes that both celebrate and deconstruct the beautiful people that strut the runways of the fashion world strikes the right pose in “Modelogues,” written and directed by Sarah Happel.

With 32 segments (and countless costume changes), it’s a crowded runway populated by model wannabees, almost has-beens, and an assortment of lazy hangers-on. Together they paint a hilarious yet tragic landscape where food is the enemy and everyone is just a pound away from that infamously punishing cucumber diet. Is it possible to feel sorry for beautiful people? After watching a caustic casting agent mop up the floor with a revolving door of perfectly acceptable rejects - yes. Though heavy with humor, “Modelogues” doesn’t shy away from the ironic. A video segment featuring runway mishaps is at first amusing and then achingly uncomfortable. That’s the real beauty of this show. “Modelogues” injects just the right amount of emotion to get its point across – perfection is a dead-end goal.

Too many moments resonate to recount them all but standouts include a wonderful dance number, “I’m Insecure” performed to the tune of “All That Jazz,” and led by Sarah Lesley’s strong vocals. David Abed’s memorable model dude floats in and out of the evening, dropping vain asides like yawns, and his portrayal of a model turned airport security guard is priceless.

“Modelogues” plays Thursday – Sunday at 8pm, through October 14, at the Dorie Theatre in the Complex, 6476 Santa Monica Boulevard, Hollywood. Tickets are $20, student and Union discounts. For reservations call (323) 960-4424.

2. The Ticket Stub: Theater Reviews by Herb Goldberg:

The Ticket Stub

MODELOGUES

Who would believe that a series of 32 vignettes about the world of models and modeling, ("everything you ever wanted to know but never bothered to ask"), could be done with such style, wit, insight and compassion. Putting a simple set of four screens to brilliant use so that it becomes ample enough to support the evenings many themes, we join the handsome and multi-talented cast of three women and three men, as adept at comedy as they are at acting, singing and posing. They all seamlessly move from one facet of the fashion world to another.

In MODELOGUES the universe of model's agents, clothes designers, dressers, global diversity (the world of models is a showcase of racial and ethnic diversity because only beauty and ambition rule), schools, and diets is played out in perfectly paced succession. We observe the personal world including random roommates, motel life, intrusive mothers, extreme diets, addictions, bitchy handlers and, oh yes, the insecurity of realizing you're always only a few pounds away from being unemployable as well. A song about personal insecurity is just one of many highlights and toward the end a touching vignette about "escaping" from the addiction to being center stage is poignant as well as comical. What else can one do for a living that has so many perks and no exams? One reads in the press that Los Angeles theater lacks fine directors who can make material come fully alive. I suggest they pay attention to Sarah Happel, triple threat as the writer and producer as well as imaginative director of this newest jewel in the crown of small theater L.A.!

3. KCLA Radio by Laurie Senit: I can hunt down the show we were talked about on and the number of the show, etc. if it makes a difference

KCLA "Love Time" American Radio Network

The six beautiful people in this play all show incredible talent and promise in this flashy presentation of scam after scam in the modeling industry. Some get out of this mode and some just can't because of the burnout of hard work and drugs. Some go into other careers when they get their common sense back. Many go into acting with their pretty faces and unusual tiny and tall bodies.

Full of fantasy and fun, there is plenty of fashionable dancing and music watching this documentary farce. Jessica Richmond had the top model look and attitude down to perfection. Henry Jacobson was my favorite guy doing all the accents of different slimy men in the modeling industry. Each actor and actress played multiple roles.

I loved this show and I give it an A +. Hopefully we learn not to put young people in some of the circumstances they should avoid in modeling. This is a creative vision of a genius top model, writer, and director, Sarah Happel.

LA's The Place Magazine Modelogues: A Comedic Look Inside the World of Modeling Posted By Karleigh Behbahani September 6, 2007 @ 11:03 pm In Arts & Culture, Upcoming Events, Live Theater | Comments Disabled

Who better to poke harmless fun at the fashion industry than a former model who knows much too well all the pressures involved in the crazy world of fashion and fame?

Writer/Director Sarah Happel- a former international model who was represented by the Ford Modeling Agency in Scottsdale, Arizona- presents Modelogues….A Fashionable Farce, a two-act comedy exploring our society’s fascination with beauty, glamour and fame.

As someone who was once on the inside, Sarah is able to capture the real characters involved in a world that many dream about, talk about and make fun of. Three actors and three actresses let you peek inside the keyhole to see for yourselves the sometimes wacky, sometimes deluded and sometimes drugged up personalities that exist behind the scenes.

Modelogues will be running from September 6th through October 14th at The Dorie Theatre at The Complex Theatre, located at 6478 Santa Monica Blvd. in Hollywood. All shows begin at 8:00p.m. General admission ticket prices are $20, $15 with a Union Card and $12 with a Student ID.

4. LA Weekly Our review here was printed several times next to print advertisements for the play, if it makes a difference I do have those issue numbers at home

MODELOGUES Writer-director Sarah Happel’s evening of sketches and monologues inspired by her stint as a fashion model skewers the love-hate relationship between the “beautiful” and the short and plain, who slander their rivals as “skinny bitches” and then copy their cucumber diets. Weight issues reign supreme. (Says one model of another, “She’s an anorexic with a bulimic personality.”) Happel’s funny and enthusiastic ensemble — Joanna Kelly, Sarah Lesley, Jessica Richmond, David Abed, Wesley Stiller and Henry Jacobson — vogue and preen their way through Happel’s promised behind-the-scenes revelations. We learn, unsurprisingly, that models are dumb, stage moms are pushy, designers are insufferable queens, and agents and casting agents are villainous. Like a model, Happel’s show is smarter than expectations.

What the Butler Saw: "Modelogues," The Dorie Theatre, Hollywood, CA. by James Scarborough

Though it’s funny and irreverent (and attractive and fashionable), Modelogues: A Fashionable Farce written and directed by Sarah Happel for The Dorie Theater In The Complex, is too self-conscious and literal to be an effective farce.

Visually, to be sure, and panache-wise, the actors acquit themselves, especially Sarah Lesley who nails (and maintains throughout) that Mona Lisa runway pout, Jessica Richmond who nails that just-below-the-surface vulnerability, and Joanna Kelly who nails the angst of a desperate housewife.

Thematically, with great potential, the script examines exposure: the baring of models’ bodies and souls; the creation and marketing of fashion; and the idiosyncrasies of the profession itself.

The staging of the thing is captivating: a series of 32 intermissionless scenes that pop past faster than the flash of a photographer’s bulb and that run the gamut of a model’s life from A – Z.

Most of the vignettes are comical: we learn the mechanics (and treacheries) of modeling schools, of model’s contracts, of their diets (cucumbers, alcohol, and drugs), of their casting calls, of their sudden falls from grace, of the squalor of their living conditions, of their mentors, associates, and colleagues, of their post-runway life.

Scenes set in various stages of dress and undress, despair and agony, sleaziness and bamboozling: but to what end? That modeling has an underbelly? That models have long legs and low self-esteem? That they have a short shelf life and, like lottery winners, support an entourage?

There’s no doubt that Happel knows that of which she writes: only an insider (and, alas, too late, a bewildered, beleaguered model) would know about things like surcharges on surcharges on contracts and the indentured servitude model of rent in model dorms: they might as well be working in a coal mine.

'''Other than the reviews, and I could do more hunting of issue numbers and air dates, I don't have anything but soon the catalog listing at the bookstores and amazon purchases...etc. But the play is currently being published and is not out yet. Players Press is the publisher and the contract is signed. That's all I have. Is this worth pursuing anymore?'''
