Welcome to Speculations By the Sea, where the musings are free but the laughs cost extra. For the last three years I have found a home working at the Bistro By the Sea, in Matunuck RI. It has been said in the Providence Journal that, “Backstage at Theatre By The Sea’s restaurant kitchen, there’s high drama to be found every night, a dependable 90 minutes of fiery action, random moments of impending disaster, and a multi-layered love story electrifying the room.” Though a bit exaggerated I find every night at the bistro has stories to be shared and philosophies to be formed. Whether I am hosting or serving, my co workers who I could consider family help weave the story of an entertaining adventure, relatable to all food service workers, or comedy seekers.

Dear Mr. Metrosexual Male,


Hello very attractive and well dressed patron who only comes in twice a summer. How have you been? Did you notice my look of surprise when you walked in?

We have already gone over the fact that Theatre by the Sea isn’t exactly the best place to pick up the eligible bachelors, so why do you insist on dangling your smashing good looks over your questionable sexuality. Old men and homosexuals are the regulars here so my only saviors are the Meterosexuals; a small glimmer of hope that they might be straight. A metrosexual is loosely defined as a man living in a post industrial, capitalist culture who has a strong concern for his appearances or lifestyle which is typically associated with the homosexual male, although he is heterosexual.

You walk in here with your neatly groomed face, plucked eyebrows, gelled hair, chiseled chest and whitened teeth just to make me swoon. You are a rare urban, sophisticated man who is fashionable and well-groomed…please be straight, never mind single!

“You would like the best seat in the house to see our drag queen host cabaret at a musical theatre?” Ok I get it, I have no hope. Back to the drawing board.

xoxo

Hoping for better luck next time,

Erica
