I had to laugh/cringe at the Mary Todd Lincoln comment about putting the plain/big girls in charge of getting the water, etc. My Senior year I got offered a role behind the scenes. They did it to cut me a break, I'm sure, and because I was honestly not great at rushing, but the fact that I had put on some weight over the summer (and really, over 4 years of college) made me wonder if they had ulterior motives. I asked them straight out if it was because I had gotten fat - they were polite enough to say no, and I was polite enough to believe them.
As far as rush went, I was great at the "workhorse" aspects - using a helium tank to blow up hundreds of balloons, moving furniture, filling out paperwork, making skit props and costumes.
But yes, Froggie, I can see why that would be disconcerting.
That said, fun story - keep us posted.
