An intriguing question

Someone asked me a question a few weeks ago and to be honest with you I had a problem answering it correctly and have been thinking about it since. I will tell you the question I was asked ,of course I will give my answers and I hope to hear from you guys and find out what you would have answered it.

The question was what is / are my secret fantasies ,hopes and dreams regarding " Beginner's Luck" ?

1. My initial answer was that I always wanted to see this happen in real life. this was something I thought about a lot and truly wanted to be present for an ending to a children's amateur show like this one.

2. To have many many women that I've known in my life to be posed in from them under the stage curtain trying to get Spanky off stage to where she is behind the stage prop. Some of these women would be famous actresses or news women others would be people I knew in everyday life. I think to our friend who is the teacher and actually has a stage prop that he poses his dates behind and I wish I could have had that when I was about 25 or so, but alas !

3. To be there at the Roach Studio when "Beginner's Luck" was filmed and watch it happen and have a pause button and stop the filming like you stop the DVD and watch. I think I'd stop it many times during the stripping and take pictures from different angles when she's loosing her dress and behind the prop.

These were the 3 answers I gave and I've been disappointed since I thought I could have done better. I'd like to hear from other posters and see if they could do better. I think it would be easy !

I too would have loved to seen some hollywood actress's get the treatment on the stage. As well as a few woman I knew in my younger days of youth. I think we all can relate to that in some way.

I agree with 1 and certainly 2 and 3 I've never thought of before but I sure would love to freeze live action. I'd be fondling Kitty big time.

Another aspect that neither of you guys mentioned is the fact Spank'ys Mother is a mother and that adds so much to my enjoying this short.

For me, if I could go back in time, I would love to get Kitty on the "casting couch".
Unfortunately being a realist I always hoped that someone in the group would be at a garage sale and find the outtakes from BL--the special ones shot for McGowan and Hal Roach.
