And Her Goose Is Cooked

One of my favorite parts of BL to watch over and over is the scene where Spanky's Mom has decided to stubbornly try to defy the MC by going behind the curtain to haul Spanky offstage. The moment where she is stripping off her obviously expensive coat and just tossing it aside as if she could care less (an added bonus is the irony of her not realizing how she would truly need that coat!) The bitchy determined look on her face as she tosses her coat aside is priceless. She still seems to think she has control of the situation. And just the idea that is the last time we see her looking so confident, it makes that moment the moment her goose is cooked.

I have to very much agree it is the one of the best parts.

I always thought the moment that Spanky's mother was at her most powerful was when the MC tells her Spanky's on next and she rushes to ready him - He is talking to Daisey and asks his mother if he can give the prize to Daisey after her wins.Spank's mother can clearly be seen with a huge smile on her face as her little champion is about to hit the stage and be a huge hit.

I have often heard from people that Lindsey Lohan is a perfect candidate for the "Beginner's Luck" role-I always thought she was a bit young for the part ,she is a very beautiful girl but I think people think her real life personality makes her a perfect Spanky's mother and she could learn huge from that type of degrading experiance.

I have to agree with Doug,saying her most confident and powerful moment was just before she goes to speak to the gang.It's easy to see as she is smiling from ear to ear during these moments.

I have to agree on Lindsey Lohan too she does seem a bit young for the role,I have seen hur nude in Playboy and man does she have a great body and a real pretty face but away from that she really does seem like someone who really needs a BL stage debut for herself!

Yes the look on her face as she walks down the steps towards the gang is priceless she is booming with confidence.

Yup dead on CPS I think that is where she is her most confident.
