I see I have already accrued numerous followers!
I should now take the time to welcome you to the blog of the one and only Rachel Barbra Berry ✫! I am sure that you have all jumped at the chance to follow a bona fide star and in return, I can assure you that you have made absolutely the right choice. Having been informed by many reliable sources that, despite an attempt to revive MySpace through a relaunch, it is decidedly dead, I will admit that it was in consideration of my fans, present and future, that I decided to invest in one of these blogs. My thinking was simple as in order to reach my fans I must be part of the most upcoming and lively social media. A star must be present if she is to glow as brightly as she wants.
For those of you who are claiming that you merely ‘stumbled’ onto my blog then I have generously provided you with an an extensive and detailed version of my life thus far on the part of my blog referred to as the ‘description’. I have laid out as much as I am willing to give now without jeopardizing my future autobiography, turned film, turned musical and so I request you don’t press me too much in regards to the finer details of such an incandescent life. Indeed readers of this post who are fellow native New Yorkers must already have been aware for many years of the rising star in your midst by the very sense of anticipation that seems to hang over the Great White Way following Sutton’s departure for the sunnier and more ‘star’ laden climes of Los Angeles and a failed ballet sitcom. Indeed I just know there was the same hazy energy of being near such burning potential when Barbra and Patti were living out the brief, wasteful periods in their lives before their talents were discovered and as I pace the sidewalks of Manhattan, I can only promise that my star will continue to rise.
I am sure you are all already aware of the highly successful, revival of Cabaret and my place as their current, beloved Sally Bowles but I encourage anyone who has been living under a Great White Way rock to embrace the brilliance of both the show and its star as we whisk you away to WW2 Germany as soon as possible. Although I was not fortunate enough to originate the role in this specific revival, my vastly superior reviews to the original Sally more than prove that it was my rightful role to begin with. Indeed I am hopeful that the great Ms. Liza Minnelli will deign to grace us with her presence before she departs to join her mother in Broadway Heaven as she deserves to see her iconic role being performed by a true star so she can rest in the knowledge that Maybe This Time will have a deserving guardian to protect it. I may only be the tender age of 22 but my resume is already as immensely impressive as one would expect for the top contender of Ms. Streisand's throne and now that I have graduated top of my class from NYADA, I can dedicate myself wholly to total Broadway domination!
To address the ridiculous, and spurious, rumours that I will not have time for my beloved fans (originated, I believe, from a bitter and pathetic blogger currently residing in my home town), I can assure you that I am absolutely dedicated to keeping all Rachel Berry Aficionados as up to date as possible with the triumphs of my career. While I cannot be quite as active as the days of the unfortunately belated Daily Doses of Berry series, I will endeavour to spend my time productively, be it writing replies to adoring fan-mail during my intermission or recording any and all performances I give during recreational, but carefully planned, karaoke trips. I can assure all of my fans who are unfortunately languishing too far away from the bright lights of Broadway that my presence, and talent, will still be very much felt. As the 21st Century version of Barbra, it is only my duty to adapt to the times and connect with my fans in whatever manner I can, after all.
I think I have now surmised the most important developments in my life of late and therefore all there is left to do is encourage you to send me as much fan-mail as possible. As a fan myself I cannot stress how important it is to value and love the answers offered by a naive ingenue when compared to the future answers of the legendary diva incarnation of Rachel Berry.
Lots of love and stardust,
Rachel Barbra Berry ✫
