I really don't feel like making this presentation right now and it's due tomorrow
*runs around nekkid*
That's how I felt earlier today...only I had to write a few pages about the Fair Trade organization(our new project) ...but just start and then everything will....go

I have a conundrum for you (scroll past if you're skimming, it's pretty boring!)
(as many of you know from my constant whinging) I have spent the last couple of years fighting my weight. I was at my optimum weight at the end of last year, and I have put about 4-5 kg back on. Last week I decided to be more strict about what I eat and how much I exercise so that I can get back to that (and be super HOT for my 21st in June)
The conundrum is that an open call audition for Hairspray was just announced in 2 weeks. Vocally, I would suit the role of Tracy (well, at least I think I would) but the audition info says Tracy has to be 'heavy set', and while I'm on the upper end of the healthy scale, I don't think I quite fit that genre. So...do I continue my strictness (I refuse to use the word diet) or do I attempt to bulk up over the next two weeks? Or do I attempt to find clothes that make me look fatter? Or will that ruin my chance of getting other roles if I'm not right for Tracy?
Bekki, I guess that would depend how close you are to a Tracey weight? I think it's worth going for if you think you can do it, as long as you don't put your own health at risk. Getting bulky clothes is a good idea - if you don't get the part, you don't have to wear the clothes again. If you do, you can always add on a couple of pounds to your weight before performances start, right?
And if you don't, then you can continue to lose the weight like you want and go for other jobs.

Bekki, you have to ask yourself how you will feel if you deliberately put on weight and then don't get the part. Seriously, it's not a good idea!
If they like your singing and personality, they'll find a way to pad you out
Yep, what she said. If they love you they'll find a way round that. You can always say to them that you lost weight for another role but can easily bulk up if you get the part (which you could do it it came to it nd you wanted to)
Is that Jumble in the alltogether I just saw streaking past?
