Hip Blog Day Five: Margo And Eve

Margo And Eve: All About Hips, or
"Welcome to My Surgery"

She was the new hip in town. Eve. Eve Hippington. Little Miss Evil. The baby of the hip set.
Margo Boning was the Hip who played the role for me for a 20,709 day run, never missing a show, bending, gyrating and defiantly supporting the rest of the cast. With her, this show had legs.
But Margo was aging none too gracefully..
The urbane wit, Addison DeSurgeon, saw Margo's flaws and sung the praises of Miss Hippington, who insinuated herself into his good graces, convincing him that a younger, suppler understudy should replace Margo for future productions.
And so, as Margo saw the writing on the wall, she started comp-PAIN-ing too loudly. Addison once told Margo "You are a hip. A dysfuntional one, but a hip."
"Everybody has a Hip. Except some people", she delivered to DeSurgeon.

Eve is now scheduled to carry on in "My Right Hip", beginning Wednesday Oct. 6, for an open-ended run. Audiences are lining up with bouquets, while Margo has retreated into a life of dark victory.

"One day they'll see the light. One day they'll learn."

And that's the day she vows to shout, "Whatever Happened To Baby Hip?"
