Amongst those:
* The donkey she rode in on is gone, replaced by a massive Louis Vuitton luggage pile set piece from which she appears behind. It's cute, but the donkey had a certain "whoa" element to it.
* A sequence where she goes all Kathy Griffin and posts a succession of images of young female celebs in all sorts of scandal-sheet trouble is gone. So, sadly, is a variety of video clips that included a recent "Project Runway" clip of Michael Kors and a classic video of Elton John, Cher and Bette all performing together.
* They removed all of that to make time to add in a video explanation of who/what Doris Delago, Bette's classic mermaid character, is. That seems wise.
After the show, we headed over to Rao's for a press reception and "mix and mingle" session with Miss M herself. That's where Amy got her photo snapped with Bette...
...and Toni Basil, the "Mickey" singer and choreographer who is in her 60s, believe it or not.
I abstained from taking my photo with anyone but my date.
