"sign these"From time to time someone comes along, and we feel a special kind of excitement, and something happens that lifts us out of ourselves, and we feel the urge to reveal.
it's shocking
liberating
empowering
While on tour with Theatre New Brunswick's production of Maureen Hunter's "Vinci" PHI receives his share of this phenomena. As audiences were thrilled with his portrayal of Piero- the father of Leonardo Da Vinci. While editorials read "Phi Bulani plays the role of the philandering Piero with a dashingly roguish, and romantic leading man quality- rivaling any Casanova to date", his performances however excited some female audience members to flash him their feminine attributes after the show.
On a particular chilly winters day, he received a triumverate of flashers~ giggling and jiggling.
His Response as it was happening:
"...this plays about mixed blessings, and simple gestures of gratitude, and-Ho-ly God- speaking of holy trinities- and gratitude- i'm getting flashed, just a second,
Thank-you ladies, you we're a wonderful audience and... thank-you very much for your--- standing ovations!- [laughter and giggles] i'm going to go sign their... programs"
a little later he reflected:
"...ahhh they're just having fun, its harmless, it makes me think of Whitman's 'i sing the body electric'; in this sense
of course it's about alot of things that have more to do with them, i just happen to be in view-[and then to the tune of o' lonesome me- he sings- o' lucky me! and breaks into laughter- stopping suddenly he soberly adds]- i just hope they stay and play safe, and keep themselves warm- lol."
Over the phone, from the road; this is a noph narrative.

So after the show i ducked into the bathroom to really freshen up- well i was soaked-right thru to my capri's) so i ditch the gitch, and fortunately before the show i had been browsing in a couple of shops and had found this great little skirt that was on sale, it was a little revealing for me, but it was such a good price, so no big deal if i don't ever wear it right, so i had that but no gitch, so i slipped it on (sans thong), now i never dress this way in public, and i thought for sure someone would notice, or my skirt would blow up in the wind, but before i would find that out, i wanted to fix my makeup, i started to dab my face with some cool water, looking into the mirror, i seemed to see someone else staring back at me- i saw two eyes- deep as emeralds, glowing behind my delicate lashes flashing an image of myself in a very different way- I liked what i saw, but i didn't recognize myself- a little spooked, i gathered myself together, and left the building of the theatre, it was a mild night with a slight breeze, and the walk home was kind of dreamlike- i eventually made it home, i dreamt about phi that night, and for a about a week after that~ some pretty sexy dreams, and some very emotional ones too. I've never tried to meet him, i didn't want to taint that experience, besides what was i going to say 'Hi i'm trish i had an orgasm watching you on stage tonite.' I still don't understand it. My eye colour has remained the same ever since then- freaky eh! freaky but true. And to think i almost didn't go to see that stupid show, i mean i was kind of a mess, my boyfriend had broken up with me about a week before, and i needed to take my mind off of the break-up.
