There's no need to sew

There's no need to sew as long as there's a Goodwill nearby.

Here is a preview (sort of) of my costume for the Under the Sea Faery Ball at RT. The easy thing to do would be to go for the mermaid look. Tsk. So predictable. Be creative, people! We are writers, after all. With that in mind, I decided to be (ta da) the Tourist With Bad Taste Who Fell Off The Tour Boat. Think clash. Loud. Tacky. Seaweed. An anchor if I can find one. That's me, or will be.

As for the Golden Age of Hollywood Ball, first thought would be to get an extravagant ball gown and a string of pearls. But Hollywood is more than glamor, there are fringe players - like the talent scout. Exaggerated. Me, again. An oversized pair of glasses, the right hat and a sleazy attitude - does that shout Hollywood, or what?

See you there. Can't wait.
