It is with great pleasure that I announce that I have been asked to join the EPIC group of Meryl Streeps in Streepshow, where drag Meryl's compete to be the ultimate Streep. There is a Sophie's Choice Meryl, an Hours Meryl, a Death Becomes Her Meryl. Here's a picture of me doing the makeup tutorial. I'll sort of be playing Miranda Priestly from The Devil Wears Prada.
