Bebo
FOUND by Christine Lee
We had a lip-sync contest as part of our company holiday party. One daring group of men decided they would dress in full drag (lingerie, not dresses) and perform "Lady Marmalade" from Moulin Rouge. The party was held a few blocks from where we work so in order to completely get into character, the five gentlemen-to-ladies came back to the office to change. Later, we found this note in the parking lot behind one of the performers' cars. I forwarded the letter in a company-wide email. It turns out Bebo is the nine-year-old son of one of the members of the cleaning crew. He saw five men dressed in women's lingerie emerge from our bathroom and leave the building together. Clearly this inspired some writing! I hope he doesn't tell EVERYONE in school!

We collect FOUND stuff: love letters, birthday cards, kids' homework,
to-do lists, ticket stubs, poetry on napkins, telephone bills, doodles -
anything that gives a glimpse into someone
else's life. Anything goes...
And hyjinks ensued!
Kids these days! In my day, drag acts would have lip-synched to the LaBelle version.
hahahahah. that made my day.
loving the nickname bebo...
This find has been criminally overlooked. There are like 20 things I love about this find. All ineffable, unfortunately.
This made me laugh really hard.
I love the lack of periods.
What a cute kid, aha.
He's called Shatwell?
this one was mine... you want more? before we realized the origins of this note, one of the 'performers' (the "stripper on man") pinned it up in his cube - and still has it. Naturally, late one night Bebo was back striking conversation with the "stripper on man"... apparently he stopped dead in his tracks when he laid his eyes on his own crafty-work. Imagine his stream of consciousness? apparently Bebo was taken aback. after all that time he was surprised to discover the face behind the "stripper on man". he commented,"THAT WAS YOU GUYS!" not to mention his confusion about the location of his letter-gone-trophy. Busted!
indeed, now we've gone full circle.
note: i assure you this is my find, i'm not just commenting. i'm quite proud of this one. i figured it should have the full story to go with. cheers.
C. Lee, I think it is awesome that you came back and gave an "update" on the Found item.
It's a packet of memories that Bebo will carry for his entire life, and I think it's great that he got the chance to meet some of the same people "out of drag."
but what I really want to know is.. did that group of guys, lip synching to Lady Marmalade WIN the company lip sync contest?
And was the company Hasbro?
This find and the back story are completely far-out!
New word for the day: "ineffable". Thanks, James
Indeed, Chrome toaster, I am sitting on a couch next to one of those 5 guys-in-drag. They did win the competition and each won ipod nanos. I wish there was a way to associate pics of these guys. They did great!
