ok, how come every few weeks more of blogger is in german? first it was just the dates, then some forms. then all of a sudden i got " Dies kann ein paar Minuten dauern, wenn Ihr Blog sehr groß ist" now i've got "veoöffentlichen, Einstellungen, Vorlange, and Blog anzeigen." i have no idea what Vorlange is. i'll have to click on it to see.
today was an awesome day in the costume shop. i mean, i went to class before this, but work is the only thing worth blogging about. she stoops to conquer starts previews tomorrow night, so we had very few notes left to do. and we had our load out pizza party, since everyone's only there on wednesday. then pam and michelle and i were putting checked in stuff away. during a show, if anyone returns stuff, we just hang in on the rack or dump it in big piles around the rack- we had some serious putting away to do. pam was wearing a nazi hat and a orange silk lei. i found this fabulous red wig- it was a long super 80's updo- i looked like bonnie rait or reba mcintire. michelle put a goofy blue wig on that matched her shirt. then she found this rocking bustle which she strapped on her backside. we put alot of stuff away, we weren't hiding in the back of the closet gossiping, as is sometimes done, but we were having a really good time doing it, dressing up and stuff. pam added these glittery glasses with yellow lenses and a white wig- she went from hawaiian nazi chick to elton john. i put on a leather fringed cowgirl skirt. michelle put on enormous legwarmers. chris was working on the last pannier- it seems it's all he does. the plastic tubing they used wasn't enough to hold up all the fabric balanced on them, so he's reinforcing them with foam tube insulation. it's crazy. when he has to go to stage makeup, i take over, tacking down the little bits of twill tape holding the 1.5" tubing in place. Elyz was playing this awful french stuff this morning, all acordions, it was terrible, driving everyone crazy. so i put on an ani d mix first, then the monsoon wedding soundtrack, which is popular round there, and finally jill sobule. jessi was like, "i bet you know all the words to i kissed a girl, don't you caitlin?" i'm like, is this an innocent question, or are you trying to tell me everyone in the costume shop knows i'm gay? the actress playing Mrs Hardcasle came in to be fitted. her costume is crazy. we all danced around her, handing diffrent parts to tom- first he laces up her corset (and it's some serious boning) and then puts the panniers on her hips. next comes her underskirt, and there's another skirt thing on top of that. her apron gets snapped on that, then the overskirt-bodice-stomacher combo deal on top. it's wild. how can she move. she says there are 3 positions she can put her hands. after frances left, we tore it apart and each person got a piece. i got my panniers back, and michelle started working on the other end, and we did get them done by five. i'll have to go see it this weekend. homework? what's that?
