The opening scene is the second best batroom in the house of the Ugly Sisters Uglier Sister, Chlamydia a raddled old crone with a whiskery chin and a large bristly moustache and heaven knows what else in the way of hirsutisim. She hollers out to the family maidservant.

" CINDERS" Get your skinny legs up these stairs and do my back and bring a new razor with you. I want to look my best for the Ball tonight. Prince Charming doesn't like hairy women."

Faye!! Cat now coachman! Faye for Cinders!! You're wasted as a mouse!

Oxon70 Wed 28-Dec-11 12:55:20

Cinders, impressed 'Oh! That is so much better that that old car. I had to bloody walk back, you know! Let's go!.'
(She's forgotten how she 's dressed. - and she still needs a coachman. Grab the cat, FG.)

Critic: Reminds me of Bill Bryson on cricket: the only game (pantomime) to incorporate meal breaks.

FG1 is here again.
Gosh, she is a total pain.
Cinders – how much longer shall we tarry?
How about you marry Harry?

JessM Wed 28-Dec-11 12:57:32

FG, To audience.
Which designer should i go for with the frock thing. McQueen perhaps? He's pretty good at doing princessy? Or should I go for more of a red carpet McCartney look. OOOOOOO what about a Westwood. That would put the coachman amongst the pigeons woudn't it. Big decision as this gig is going to be on the front of Hello

Don't break your leg when you climb the stair

Poooooofffffffff Cinders is transformed into here designer outfit and J. Choos with 5 inch heels

But one last thing, all this bling will disappear on the final stroke of midnight...

Oxon70 Wed 28-Dec-11 13:07:36

I dunno - Faye, do you want to?

Faye Wed 28-Dec-11 13:08:52

Sleeping Beauty:

Laughs at Cinderella heading for a fall
Finally on her way to the ball
Sneering at her tiny feet
Sniffling from eating too much wheat
Fairy Godmother you make me laugh
Cinders still looks like a chaff

Carol Wed 28-Dec-11 13:10:49

The Countess of Bloody Nowhere bitches: 'OOOOh, who does she think she is, that tart in the Jimmy Choos? Bet she got them off Ebay.'

em Wed 28-Dec-11 13:11:10

Faye Wed 28-Dec-11 13:11:14

No my duty

'I don't know me lines. I can play it by 'ere if you get another prompt person..'

Faye Wed 28-Dec-11 13:12:12

Oxonella was already Cinderella

Oxon70 Wed 28-Dec-11 13:14:29

'Okay! Where this prince then? Lead me to him - let's see what he's really like!'

em Wed 28-Dec-11 13:14:29

Let's hear it for Oxon/Cinderella's grand entrance. Go girl - you can do it!

Carol Wed 28-Dec-11 13:14:43

I can't be Cinders
I've had THAT call
I've got to race, no time at all
Baby's waiting, needs her feed
Mum and dad I have to heed
Baby 2 is coming at last
Just hope I don't drive there too fast
Wheeee - laters!

em Wed 28-Dec-11 13:16:05

Drive carefully Carol - we'll carry on regardless and see you later.

Oxon70 Wed 28-Dec-11 13:17:35

'Got to be introduced, have I? Who does that then?'
She sees the three sisters heading her way....................
