O'Donnell on the True Colors Tour and Rosie's Broadway Kids...

Since there is no more drama on "The View" to monitor, actual entire days go by (believe it or not) that I forget to check out Rosie.com, Rosie O'Donnell's blog with all the sort of poetic ramblings that usually have some kind of interesting tid bits within them. Here is the part of her most recent post that interested me the most because it's about the True Colors Tour she's been on"

i got home at 4 am
on tour with cyndi lauper
EXACTLY what i needed
a little love from my own

met the DRESDEN DOLLS
who r beyond brilliant
watching brian drum
divine magic

ERASUE - andy andy andy
oh l’amour
as he spins in circles
my spirit soars

margaret cho
fine funny fierce
tattooed beauty
her outside matches her inside now

as truth spills from all
there on the TRUE COLORS TOUR
and now - twelve hours later
here i am


I also had no idea about this project that Rosie posted on. Here it is in her words:

aaaaaaaaaarosieskids.jpgIn the summer of 2007, Rosie’s Broadway Kids will enter our first home in a newly renovated building on 45th St., just a few blocks away from the theater district. This spacious four-story building will include two dance studios, a music studio, a study café, locker rooms, administrative offices, and other amenities. The building will serve as the home base for ACTE II students, who will use it throughout the school year for classes and during the yearly Summer Intensive. Our new space will also give hundreds of students at a nearby school the opportunity to finally stretch their legs and minds in our new physical education project, Spotlight on Fitness, being developed in conjunction with the Board of Education guidelines. The school doesn’t have appropriate facilities of its own for Phys Ed classes and we’re excited to finally give them the opportunity to move freely.

Rosie’s Broadway Kids is dedicated to enriching the lives of children through arts education. Our professional teaching artists devote themselves to providing instruction in dance, music, and drama, and offer a professional theater experience for children who might otherwise not have the opportunity.

Yep, it takes a GAY philanthropist to have TWO foundations!

Did you know that Ro gave away more money to charity than Martha, The Donald or David Geffen?

I thank God she's one of us.
