oh, the joys of being a costumer. i got to play "life sized ken dolls" last night. i had about half the men's costumes put together and i wanted to try them as i go along putting stuff together. it was really fun, and at times rather hilarious. my friend who is playing dr. bradley has wonderful body work, and combine that with my mad costuming skills and he looks like a dirty old man. it is rather funny because i know this guy is totally not like that. i thought i would die laughing because he kept chasing me around trying to tickle me in this old man costume, i'll post pictures with their permission once i have everyone done for the show. it is so awesome. almost everyone likes their costumes so far, except for one kid who keeps saying that he looks like a nerd, but i keep telling him what is nerdy now was cool then. remember that "the man who came to dinner" is set in 1939/1940 era. i just don't think he quite gets it. oh well, it will be fun once i get my part done, except for maintennace during rehearsals and the two weekends of performances. wheeeeeee i can't wait to borrow daddy's new digital camera!
