Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
There are reasons why some people become police or firefighters and some people become actuaries. I do think there are lots of creative types working regular jobs and sometimes, people get lucky.
I just read the column in Newsweek about the Dyson vacuum guy. He busted his ASS (and his wife supported the family) while he tried to engineer and sell his machine. And now, he's a billionaire.
Walt Whitman was a clerk for the U.S. government and, according to a recent story, a very good one. His handwriting was greatly admired.
I have found that most of the working theatre artists I meet that do not have a "day job" either come from a place of real deprivation and poverty, where they basically have no where to go but up, or come from a background with family money/parental safety net. Or, mostly for sound/lighting people, have a design business (like ND) which is not all for theatre, but also for trade shows, museums, haunted houses, etc.
Cash, you're a roller derby STAR.

Well, the proper amount of suction is worth it.
Chatty!co-worker's dream since childhood has been to be an artist for DC or Marvel. He also happens to be married with a child. His priority is his supporting his family, and he works on his art in his spare time.
He also recently got a freelance gig with Marvel.
Oh! Good for him! Wasn't he the one who did that one thing that one time?

He did! The thing with the stuff.

That's awesome. I hope he continues to succeed!

There's a reason they made me head of PR. I'm obviously not afraid to talk about derby to ANYONE. That reminds me, I have to go to the mayor's office and drop off his complimentary tickets today.
Oh, Cash--we got Lily's homework folder back last night, and the Flat Stanley photo collection is priceless!
I'd say Lady Gaga has "personality" rather than charisma or looks, but we may be using different words for the same thing (and I think it's what Glee called "theatricality"). Love or hate her, but you can't ignore her.
Or more simply, she has "It." And I don't have a specific definition. But it's the star quality Ann Margret had in a stage production of The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas when she (a lady of a certain age wearing a pantsuit) sang with a chorus of negligee-clad young women -- and all eyes in the audience were on her.
