Okay, somebody mentioned Renniepalooza shirts on this thread, so I gotta throw in. (Yes, they're coming soon!)

My solution to the "accent and character question" is that my character is a Gypsy, so I am from everywhere, and the accent is a bit undefinable on purpose. Sometimes it leans towards a mix of Spanish, Italian, Romanian -- other times I just can't help meself, and I break into a Scottish or English lilt. But that would make sense too, if the Gypsy wagon stayed long enough in the British Isles I'd eventually speak that way anyway.

All of which is just an excuse to let out some of the 27 personalities fighting for control in my fevered brain.

Getting out of accent and/or character is usually accomplished with a rousing chorus of "Beer Run". Unless it's part of a Lady Fair show, and Gregor of Bedlam chimes in with the mandolin... never mind.

I turn "character" on and off throughout the day, but it's always on when I'm interacting with patrons or onstage. I confess I will break character if a patron gets me alone to ask serious questions. I don't know if this is good or bad, but it feels natural this way, so there it is.

I am not in character when I am backstage. Or in the bathroom. Or at the after-party gettin' jiggy on the dance floor. Aw crap, are there pictures of that last one?

I was taken in as well. If, like me, you want to register your outrage, check out <a rel=nofollow target=_blank href="http://www.reallyirkedaboutfakewebsitesostensiblyfeaturingnakedbellydancersbutwhichreallydonotexistatall.com">http://www.reallyirkedaboutfakewebsitesostensiblyfeaturingnakedbellydancersbutwhichreallydonotexistatall.com</a>

There's a contest to win a timeshare going on, too.
