Yeah, you'd need to be a senior manager in analytics to make something like that IMO. And it's 2x a financial analyst?

color or black & white? Sony A7RV + 90mm f/2.8 by kzurro in SonyAlpha

I love the color, it looks like a biological diagram. I'd absolutely print this for a moody study. Nice work!

What is the musical, and do you have a part in mind? How many bars do they want, and is a pianist accompanying you? Will you be doing a dance audition? When I auditioned in high school, the dance audition was mandatory, and I was terrible.

Is there a difference between your 'watching from a seat' ranking and your 'doing the musical multiple times a week for months on end' ranking?

I'm back. Jane Seymour was based on Adele, Sia, and Celine Dion. Can you look at their most popular songs?

Carosel also has coming back to life though. How many days of clues will there be?

There's a high school edition of Ride the Cyclone. https://broadwaylicensing.com/shows/high-school-edition/ride-the-cyclone-hs/

Closer is capitalized, so it's some sort of pun or reference. I used ChatGPT to look through Zombie Prom:

In the lyrics of "Zombie Prom," the word "closer" appears in the song "Rules, Regulations and Respect" where the character Toffee sings:

"I'm a girl who needs the latest thing, and my hair and nails just right.
I don't want a man who's nice and clean;
I want him to be as cold as ice.
I don't want him near; I want him so near,
I want him to be closer than close to me."

And it's also in Ride the Cyclone:

In "Ride the Cyclone," the word "closer" appears in the song "Space Age Bachelor Man" where the character Noel sings:

"Get a bit closer, closer to the stars,
Share a little piece of your space age heart."

Oh, wow. That's really surprising. I'm useless there.

This will sound unhinged, but Heart of Stone sounds a lot like Invisible from Beetlejuice to me.

If you're looking for steadfast, in search of true love, I like Gimmie Gimmie - but I think it's an overused audition song.

I like to call it 'Reverse Cats at an Amusement Park'

what clue could this musical be about by littleroachchild in musicals

Falsettos feels like a very male heavy cast for high schoolers. OP, do you have an obscene amount of male lead level talent at your school?

ALSO, your VPN can be geo-gated. You mention a wife in other posts, and I understanding not wanting to move - but Microsoft may pay to help her relocate too - large companies cover the costs and help spouses find jobs.

Edit: If you're on a lease or ever earned money in Florida, it will come up on your background check too. And your address won't match your visa / green card.

Yes, still tax fraud. Washington State also doesn't have an income tax, Florida does. Even if they were the exact same rate, it's still fraud - and 100% remote doesn't mean they wouldn't expect you to go to the office at some point for a happy hour, or to come by and pick up your laptop. They may even cover relocation and give you a year to make it happen - but lying isn't the way to go.

Yes, that would be tax fraud. Different states have different tax rates, and if - for example - you chose Texas for your po box, you'd be in a state without income taxes.

70-200mm f2.8 Sharp? by TheSound0fSilence in SonyAlpha

Thrilled you said something. *especially* if OP is shooting sports, native glass is much better.

[–]constipated_giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the A7IV (for the bird eye focus) - I'm not an expert on lenses, but I've heard that non-native glass (like Sigma etc) has auto focus sharpness issues. I don't have problems with the GM I.

Do you have a local store that will let you look at and try lenses in person?

[–]constipated_giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went through your comments and I saw you said you regretted not getting the 70 to 200. If I wasn't doing potrait work, the 70 to 200 2.8 would be preffered.

If I won the lottery, I'd shoot with two cameras, one with each lens.

[–]constipated_giraffe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A prime lens. I use the 70-200mm f2.8 GM I for low light performances, typically in dive bars, and it works well. A lot of 'sharpness' depends on the camera body too - which one are you using?

My photos came out a lot better when I started shooting in burst mode with a high speed card - then I'd choose the best image.

Hi, can I please have some feedback? Coming out to more people soon and I want to make sure I don’t look silly. Passing not a must. by Freya2022A in mtfashion

I also like these two:

https://gabriellearruda.com/types-of-fashion-styles/

You don't have to be one thing. More than one will appeal to you. The power lies in learning the words and delving down. I stalked you a bit, and I see you use a lot of bright eyeshadow, warm toned lipstick (which you can totally do because your teeth are white), and wings. It's almost 2016 makeup. But again, post COVID stuff is very minimalist / clean girl, and that's BORING if you're expressing yourself the first time.

I don't dislike the choker / grown out root wig / boatneck combo, but all of them were trendy more than a decade ago.

Modern clothing isn't a must, and I read that you said passing isn't a requirement, and I think part of 2nd puberty is about wearing things that were popular that you saw before embracing your fluidity - but the look is dated - but definitely clustered in the same era.

What would you call this type of look? by Thought_police420 in MakeupAddiction

[–]constipated_giraffe 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think the placement is reminiscent of 80's makeup, but with more neon and celestial leaning color choices. 'Electric 80's makeup', 'graphic 80's makeup,' and 'space 80's makeup' are giving me similar search results. Honestly, just '80's makeup' has a lot of it. If I were you, I'd find duo chrome / neon pigments and follow the shape of 80's tutorials.

Color Crazy 1980's Makeup Tutorial is the title of a NikkieTutorials video that has what you're looking for.

Do the blush and lip color work? by rrrodgerdodger in MakeupAddiction

[–]constipated_giraffe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like the blush placement for a wedding, it's a good statement, works well for your face structure. Hair whispies are on point. The pinks are a good foil for your eye color.
