The beauty bus will be stationed at the 16th Street Mall and Lawrence from 12:30 to 6 p.m. Friday, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Saturday and 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Sunday.

It was a ring thing

When comedian Phyllis Diller died on Monday, Chris Wiger, director of marketing and public relations at the Lone Tree Arts Center, air yeezy 2 femmes was moved to tell a story about the friendship he formed with Diller during Wiger’s days at Disney World. He posted this on his Facebook page:

“So sad today to hear of the passing of my friend Phyllis Diller. I hosted Phyllis on her five trips to Walt Disney World. She was one of my favorite celebrities, always made me laugh and wasn’t the least bit mad at me when I forgot I had the diamond she’s wearing in this photo, valued at $2 million, in my pocket. She had to put her hands in cement for a Chinese Theatre ceremony and handed me the ring…I almost fainted.

“I took her back to her hotel suite, returned to my office, reached into my pocket and there it was. When I asked her about her plastic surgeries she said the only thing that worried her was that when she arrived in heaven God would not recognize her. I’m sure God, Bob Hope and so many others welcomed her to heaven with a standing ovation.”

Good gift

Big DCPA backer Roger Hutson had a surprise in tow for Book of Mormon authors and Coloradans Matt Stone and Trey Parker, which he presented during the cast party after opening night Sunday.

Stone and Parker, the creators of the adult cartoon South Park, threw the opening night party for the cast and Denver VIPs in the Seawell Ballroom.

“Matt Stone and Trey Parker always said the Casa Bonita South Park episode was one of their favorites, so I brought them their own Case Bonita dive team T-shirts as a welcome home and thanks for premiering their (road) show in Denver,” Hutson said. “They absolutely loved them. They had been to Casa Bonita just the week before as part of a South Park convention that was in town.”

Book of Mormon, the Broadway smash hit, launched its U.S. tour in Denver, but you’re on your own for snagging tickets. The show was a sell-out the first day tickets went on sale.
