Well finally the tickets are on sale and completed. Thanks to anyone that helped me and holly get them ready for today, it was greatly appreciated. And on that note a big fat reminder that the show is not very long away. Although i do give everyone snaps on how far we have come. I believe that with this entire weeks to work on bits that are troubling us and run through we will be ok.
On another note, some of the costumes arrived today. I just wanted to say well done ally on the ballet school costumes and the ringmaster and assistants costume, they look really good. Also to maddy and adele who helped out with the sewing... it looks great.
Now dont take offense to this at all ally as this is not what i am intending to do, but i have been advised to write a blog on my first thoughts of my costumes as this is a pivotal thought process which is needed to produce a successful Group Analysis. In no way am i trying to offend you.
On first thoughts of seeing my costumes i thought that the pantaloons were good, and although the dress was too long (and adjustments needed to be made) i thought it was ok also. My main worry with my costume is that i will find it very hard to work as my character through the clothing. At the moment i feel like a blue blob.
I guess the only thing i can do is make suggestions to help me find my character easier through my costume. Once the dress has been hemmed there will be alot of material left over. I was thinking this could be used to make sleeves, pockets and a coller. Also some additions could include some frills around the edge of the color, sleeves and pockets and also make a half circle around my neck to wear buttons could also be added. Other additions could include as ive said buttons ribbons, frills and stripy socks. If you could get back to me ally about what you think about my additions i will be more than happy do these myself as these are additions that will help me more with my characters developments and i dont feel that it is your or maddy or adeles responsibilities.
Also today Ms Mace asked me how i feel my characters hair and makeup would be. I was imagining a teased ball of hair with a colour co-ordinated bow. I would do this by sectioning my hair into pony tails, teasing, hair spraying and adding the bow.
Please dont take offense to these suggestions ally, its not what i was intending to do, i just need some help in developing my character and using my costume to do that also.
Other than that good work people at todays rehearsal. Keep it upLove lots Victoria xoxox

i think that your suggestions are good "tori" heh heh. i like the big button idea we were talking about today. and if ally reads this, victoria really isnt attacking you, believe me. just making that cleeeeear. yeah. the hair sounds cute too although i still like the pippy longstockings thing, maybe leonie could have them! love yoooou xxxxx
lol none taken at all. i know you didn't get a chance to see what i was thinking at all until i'd done it, so feedback is good. >after< i'd made the thing, i read somewhere that whitefaces are not supposed to have any skin showing, so that's where the kneehi socks, and longsleeve top (preferably white) come in. which means you won't need to put sleeves on the dress. you write 'circle around my neck', do you mean like a frill? my only objection to that would be that leonie is going to have a frilled neck. personally, buttons don't really fit with what I had in mind, but everything else seems fine if you want to add them on.
i know that hair and makeup isn't actually my area, but because clown makeup is very specific i have thought a bit about it. so, if you have makeup ideas that display your character it would be awesome if i could see them to see if it fits with what a whiteface should be.
thanks for the feedback!
