sigersonI'll post a description of the vacation tomorrow--right now, I'm going to follow up on last post by giving costume descriptions for everyone who asked. Well, almost everyone. Questions are on their way, but may be a little while.

fairoriana, you might have requested costumes, or questions, or both. You're getting both. I see you in Italian Renaissance wear, probably as a result of your studies. Many colors--red, blue, green, over white silk chemise with puffs poking through the slashed sleeves. And a fun hair-veily bit, and some of your more exotic jewelry.
shellaby, I think I answered this last night, but here goes. For you, either we go Empire-waist, Napoleonic era, with blue ribbons and fluttering white fabric, or more of a Belle of Amherst style, American 1800s look, in darker, unadorned, so your large eyes and lovely hair can shine.
Anonymous person "j", I know too many J's. Identify yo'self to me somehow!
wavyarms, again, I can't tell if you want questions or costumes. I can't decide between virtual copies of the Eowyn costumes, or something more exotic. Yes. In "drag", menswear but with you obviously female and feminine. Russian cossack wear. Fluffy shirt, embroidery, high boots, reds and blacks, and your hair tied back in a black velvet ribbon.
Anonymous person "A", I know you! And here's what I think. Full Georgian fancy wear, a la _Ali_and_Nino_, headdress jingling, intricate embroidery, lots of garnets.
ltlbird, you get to be in the 20th century! 40's style smoooooothness. Think Edith Head designs, showing off your shoulders and neck and the wonderful flip in your hair. Bias-cut satins. Foam green. Soft dove greys.
Stealthmuffin, a banded mail corset is not a good idea. The damn thing's already halfway there, anyway. I bet mine could stop a .22 bullet. No testing.
sal_sal, I want to see your prom dress. But till then...hmm. I admit to having a hard time picturing you in a dress; partially, I have a hard time picturing you being *comfortable* dressed up. Let's start with a couple of options.
Lawyer Sal: Tailored Chanel suit, pumps, briefcase.
Jockey Sal: In a riding jacket, which have long tails, and jeans, and a jockey cap in blue.
I-Belong-In-LOTR Sal: Elfwear. No, really. Toss a coupla pointy ears on you, and you give Liv Tyler a run for it. So you get more leaf greens and light browns, not her grey--and definitely not Elrond's purple. Loose-fitting trousers, long shirt, tied sleeves, deerskin gloves with silver tooling.
That's it for right now. Any others? Next entry, I promise, will have info about my actual life.

Date: 2004-05-09 11:11 am (UTC)The note sheep were a big hit at the end-of-the-semester show- everyone loved them, and you couldn't hear the audio in the second half of the piece for the laughter. During the end-of-intermission Q&A, some kid even asked if they could show the piece again!
As for SIGGRAPH, here's a list of the pieces that made it in to the electronic theater- like the Lord of the Rings! (well, okay, whatever trailer-like short thing they submitted)! I'm on a list with Peter Jackson! Woo! Oh yeah, and 28 other people, some of whom also make cool stuff.

And what's with you bitching to Dad about my curfew? Are you TRYING to get me in trouble?
