Not my dream 2
Last night's dream: I was producing the Pakistani version of the Sally Jesse Raphael show, and trying to figure out how to make an interview with a transvestite seem interesting and titillating when he/she was clad in a burqa. First problem: how do you even show that he/she is a transvestite?
Where in the world did this come from? I've never been anywhere near TV production, never acquired the thought patterns of a talk show producer, haven't even watched Sally Jesse in at least 10 years.
(In fact, none of the cable channels available here carry any shows of that genre, which I used to enjoy watching. Why is a whole category missing, when other equally trashy categories are over-represented?)
As bemoaned before: Why can't I capture this level of originality in waking hours? ¶ 8:51 AM
