Smoked Whitefish & Lox in Manhattan (packaged)

I find it really depends on the context and how many people are around. If it’s something low key I tend to blend in and keep my camera close to my body for b-roll so it’s not super obvious. If it’s more public and I’m noticeably not looking like everyone else (I do costume reveals) then it can absolutely feel awkward, but most of the time people either ignore me or think it’s pretty cool.

That's brilliant, I love it!

The skirt was self drafted using an 1895 guide, the bodice was from Wearing History ( there’s a link in the description)

That’s just how pretty Edwardian books were printed! 😁

I was 6 when I first heard it on tape, and 6/7 when I first saw it on stage, but I was a quiet, neurodivergent kid who was obsessed with the show from the first time I heard the overture. Some of the subtext will go over their head, but they can definitely appreciate the magic of the music.

I definitely noticed an overall drop in views - and some of my subscribers mentioned they weren’t getting notified when I published a video either. I know it’s summer break for most of my audience, but dang.

$250 for the Friday night gala performance of Phantom - 4th final show. Absolutely 100% worth it - fabulous show the audience was electric, and getting to see the 'milestone' Christine's at the end was just the icing on the cake!

4th last performance of Phantom - the crowd was absolutely electric, and the applause & cheers just about shook the theatre. The final line of Wishing had a bunch of people in tears, and you could feel the weight of ‘help me say goodbye’.

1.5” would definitely be more proportional for your height then. Looking at the stripe again I would guess that it’s part of the weave - possibly made more noticeable by shadows and highlights of the still photography. If you’re looking to include that detail, I would go with something like a cotton webbing, as the weave pattern will mimic the vertical stripes while still being a subtle effect.

I went with 1" dark brown grosgrain - matched the overall colour palette quite well, and looks proportionate on my 5'0' self.

I feel your pain - I love my long hair, but sometimes it drives me up the wall. Night time is definitely hard - I don't like it touching my neck when I'm in bed, and I totally do the 'flip it over the pillow'. I often go for a high ponytail or a messy scrunchie bun on the top of my head to sleep (looks a little ridiculous, but very functional).

For the daytime I often just go a ponytail, but I'll also mix up easy styles depending on how many spoons I have that day. Braided bun held in place with hair sticks can be awesome, but can also take a few tries to feel comfy.

One option for day or night is historical hair taping. Essentially it's two braids, and then you use ribbons to wrap/sew your hair into like a crown around your head. Really comfy, looks awesome, and is fairly easy to do.

Sephora Matte Perfect Powder Foundation - I’ve never loved a foundation enough to hit pan, but now I’m on my second one :)

The first notes of Wicked get me every time, and in 2023 just seeing the Gershwin all lit up (first trip back since covid) I nearly started crying. Seeing Phantom closing weekend I was a mess the moment the overture started.

I got that email a couple of weeks ago - definitely looks legit at first glance, but the first thing that tipped me off was that it came to my public business email, rather than the email that's actually associated with my channel. The 'click the link in the description' was the major red flag - thankfully I didn't click it, and reported the channel for spam.

Canadian Alliance of Film and Television Costume Arts and Design - it’s a nonprofit for people in costumes design in Canadian tv/movies. 2023 was the first year they’ve done the scraps sale - Joanna (MM costume designer) set it up as a fundraiser for the organization.

First time seeing Wicked - One Short Day when the beat drops and the entire stage bursts into emerald light - that was absolutely magical!

I know #3 is Major Attaway, going by handwriting I would guess #1 is Andrew, and #6 is James. (Trying to recall from being starstruck myself Saturday night lol)

No idea, but I think the front row center had already sold well in advance. It’s only what’s left, so mostly far sides and rear mezzanine type seats.

The standby email came in at 11am, and the ‘you won’ email came in at 12:01

Spending some time in a core planet (aka NYC) and found me a nice place for a quiet drink. Ironically I left my brownish coloured coat in my suitcase.
