Some More Photo Stuff

Photoshoot went well. Smoke. Ladders and Long-held poses. At the end I took a couple of pictures of people whose costumes we hadn't really worked on; they weren't here yesterday. Mikey, Rhiannon and Laura - and Leah's full 'Geisha' make up. In fact the pictures show her in her 'distressed' make-up, after the shoot. I was madly rubbing it off with my fingers. I actually think something like this would be great for Mrs Mi Tzu.... a kind of ruined face. Maybe once she was someone... a lady even .... but she's fallen on hard times...

We liked Mikey's Benny Hill style outfit and, though he had a hammer for the shoot, we think the character might benefit from a mallet. Can you see the pencil tucked behind his ear? We liked that touch.

Laura was scary. Apart from the fact she had her eyelashes sticking through the eye-hole of the mask, we felt spooked most of the time. Some of us even wanted to cut her eyelashes off. But when Shui Ta comes in in the second scene, you can see how scary it could appear to the scroungers as they wake from sleep.

Fashion Parade

OK. Right.

We had a very good time with the Fashion Parade today. As you can see.

But it took some time. Longer than you'd think. So, those of you who did not come today, please come as early as you possibly can tomorrow, Friday. It's not just a question of putting on the first thing that you find. There's a lot of trial and error involved, mixing and matching.







We then put together a couple of 'testers' that I will email to Steve Blunt tonight, so we can all hit the ground running tomorrow at 2.00 and finish much quicker that we would do from a standing start.

A couple more umbrellas might not go amiss, by the way, and any pairs of hobnail boots would be good too.

Sleep tight. Abstinence. Don't let the bugs bite.

Well, I've got MY Cossie...

Paid a brief visit to the costume cupboard today and have got myself a fetching little number. See picture above. Well hard. Hope you're all getting geared up for the fashion parade and shoot tomorrow and Friday. There will be prizes, of course, for the best outfits in various categories.
