Don't Stop Me Now.

Ghost Shark and Lavalantula are both classics. But you can’t go wrong with the Sharknado franchise.

Are they related to shark boy and lava girl?

Hasn’t most of your complaining been about how people won’t see you or you fail at auditions? Sounds like you got an undeserved ego. 

They are somehow both overly serious, and peak comedy.

I mean, I could. It depends on your opinion of terrible science fiction movies.

You’re just full of bad luck, dude. 

I’m Just too good at everything, it messes up the ratio of most things

In a good day sorta way, or a bad day sorta way? 

The father of one of my kids told me in an email that he is going to do everything in his power to get me fired. 

You sound like you’re having a rough day. 

Unfortunately his suspicions seemed to be confirmed by the other’s words - the man hadn’t really gotten much in the way of roles. To think this man got passed up over… A cornbread musical, well that didn’t seem to fit things right in his mind. “I do hope you end up reaching higher. You’ve got quite a lot of star quality, darling,” Ash was quick to compliment. In the back of his mind he was considering perhaps helping the man out in some way - whether that be wardrobe or makeup. If not to propel the man forward, but to also perhaps buy some extra time. 

“Occasionally you do have a partner, but oftentimes you’re left alone at a bar or nightclub. Sometimes you’re so lucky as to be the only queen on stage.” The latter was a much more rare instance, but he had a handful of showings where it was just him. As Jesse went on again about his acting chops Ash had managed to pick up something - he had a lot of endeavors that either didn‘t seem too… spectacular, or didn’t end up going through. It was a shame, really, since Jesse did seem to have the charm and look to capture an audience. Teeth teasing at his bottom lip he set his drink down and rested a hand on the table, tapping it as he caught eyes with the other. “Tell me about your biggest role,“ he asked the other, wanting to see how far he’d gotten. 

Well that added a layer of intrigue. A lot of men he met got to Drag Race and stopped there - many didn’t bother to give a queen a passing glance past her season. As he gave a quiet thank you to the barista that provided his drink he then turned his attention back to Jesse, a bit of a warm smile showing on his lips. “For one, you just earned a point,” Ash half-teased, taking a sip from his drink and setting it down on the table. “For two - when it comes to costume changes we actually take a lot of inspiration from magicians and circus performers. Depends on how lavish you want to be.”

Movie magic it certainly was, but he couldn’t help but feel as if it was partly ruined for him. His nose curled slightly at the thought of stepping in a mush of half-cooked instant potatoes - the mere thought of that being enough to quell any possible lingering desire of movie stardom. “Well, I will never be able to see a movie and not think of mashed potato snowballs again,” Ashley laughed, though he couldn’t be too wigged out. “I suppose if I gave drag secrets, though, I could garner a similar reaction.”

“I would hope they’d accommodate for your allergies,“ Ash said in a half-tease, though part of him was serious about that. It seemed as if Jesse’s allergies weren’t too severe, but either way it seemed right to not trigger any reaction. At the mention of suds in the place of snow Ash arched a brow, that coming off a bit surprising to him. “I’d assumed it was fake, but suds?“ he said a bit incredulously. In his mind it was some sort of powder or plastic. 

Ash made his way easily to the place the other man pointed out, once again opening up the door and allowing the other to follow him. He ordered himself a Chai latte as that’d be much more what he was used to, afterwards turning his attention back to Jesse. “I’ll admit, I’m a bit of a sucker for cheesy holiday fare,” he chuckled. That more meant stuff such as Love, Actually and the various Rankin-Bass holiday specials, but if Jesse was in a few of these Hallmark movies perhaps he could give them a try.
