Costume College
Ayup, it was a thing. Not to sound unenthusiastic (because that is the OPPOSITE of how I'm feeling about it) but I'm pretty exhausted. There were some timing blips, but overall it was totally awesome. Because of my roommate and our... I dunno, suitemates? What do we call the similarly-crazy people in the next warddown the hall?
Oh yeah, and door tags. Apparently people were navigating the 3rd floor by ours. :D
Once again I managed to get everything *nearly* finished in time, and then spent a good deal of daytime finishing the thing I planned to wear the next day. Doh. I also got the bike skirt done in time to wear it and realize that... I didn't fit the waistband over the corset properly, and the back pleats hung wrong. So it's now *re*-de-constructed, and back in the "FIX ME" pile. :P Kentwell stuff was good, but not glamorous enough for anyone at the event, quelle surprise. *I* was comfortable though. (Surprisingly so, perhaps, given that I was in LA in all that wool...)
Sunday was all 30's - 1930s undies (though I forgot my kimono and chickened out about going down without it), 1930s day dress, 1930s hairstyling class, 1930s bathing suit.
I feel like there weren't many classes that I wanted to take aside from the billion limited ones. I mean, seriously, there were SO MANY limited ones... :\ We could really use more lecturers.
So I'm stepping up, you know, because I can. I have a few ideas for things, all of them stuff that I'm interested in and could maybe give a lecture on. Fancy dress? Sewing machine repair and/or diagnosis? Making lacing strips? (Should I teach two lacing strips classes? I mean it's like half an hour tops. :P )
