Dressed up to the nines
Mood:  lazy
Now Playing: The Tweenies
So last night off I skied to the residence of Rabbi Goldberg for the first meeting proper of the Production team for Israel's answer to Danny La Rue. I must admit I am a little uncomfortable with the whole idea, all my research hasn't uncovered anything all action about this French bloke at all. It doesn't even look as if he's ever delivered a box of Milk Tray, let alone drink a can of Pepsi Max. In fact from what I can tell, the geezer's a raving poof who dressed up in women's clothes. Still when you think about it, it's a fantastic cover and it was obviously never broken which says a lot.
So yesterday Mrs Goldberg wanted to discuss the outfits. Now with my Hollywood background I would have thought we should work out the storyline first, then do the wardrobe bit later, but she was adamant. When I talk to Kirk (Douglas) later on I'll have to see what he thinks. Anyway she pulled out a load of dresses and asked me to try them on. Now in my time I've had to wear lots of disguises, but I've never been done up as a woman, but I guess when you're portraying one of France's most successful spies you have to look the part. The ladies seemed to love it, and I swear there was the flash of a camera at some stage, but it could also have been some sort of sniper's aiming device - there are a lot of people out there who would like to put a bullet in me. Mrs Liebeman made a comment that my legs were a bit too hairy and that I'd have to shave them. Strangely enough I wouldn't find that a chore, I used to keep them shaved when I was doing the Tour De France, Tour of Spain that sort of thing, reduced the wind drag. Do you know I was the first Jew to be King of The Mountains? I admit though that I got a bit scared when she said I'd have to be fitted for a corset. My good old Mossad issued Jockey shorts are fine by me. The whole evening was great fun for the ladies, and at the end of it I was told that next week we'll work out the material. At last I'll finally find out what acts of international daring this bloke actually did. Maybe councillor Liebeman has been digging into some files to which I don't have access.
As I left I bumped into Benny and I was surprised to see him there. He said he had just popped round to change a light bulb, but when pressed as to why he had his camera with him, he admitted he was working on a kosher DIY manual and was taking pictures of the whole process step by step. He has been busy lately so he was probably just taking the opportunity while it was there. Apparently some other group has now been in touch with him and want him to design a clothing line after seeing his tee shirts, but he would tell me more about it later as he had to get home and process the pictures he'd just taken. We're going to meet up after Synagogue tomorrow and share a drink. It'll be nice to do that, and I'll find out what progress he's making with my holiday snaps. I could have had them done at Boot's quicker but Benny is cheaper.

Shalom
