At least I only have to stress about my costumes for CC. :) I got the Pleating 101 Workshop, and Make-up & Hair for the 18th Cent, and the Garment District tour.
I was considering going to the zoo with the guild on the 21st (still tempted, in fact), but I just don't think i'm going to be able to put yet another outfit together before then. You'll just have to go and take lots of photos to share with the rest of us unfortunates who lack the time (and funds!) to go.
I'd be interested in seeing any notes you may have from the pleating workshop after Costume College.
I'm only going to the local events cuz I can't get anything made in time for anything else. So whose getting the better end of the deal here? I'd love to go out of town too and get away from this mess here. But hubby is out of town and someone has to be here from workers, repairment, and kitties. And as you can see, not much work needed to go into the safar costume, just some little grey cells. I'm finding Jody is a good person to bounce ideas off of, and she comes up with some great shortcuts. I'm not too good at that. And yeah, sure, I'll take photos, and I'll share my notes from class. I expect lots of pics from LOJ too. Jody is going in her Flamenco Flamingo costume, along with Mary Jennings (unknown as what).
I actually have a khaki skirt (it's made from the folkwear 40's walking skirt, but I lengthened it a little) that just needs a little bit of fitting at the hips and a bit of trim at the hem, a white lacy blouse with some pintucks, and my victorian traveling boots from Blockade Runner... what I'm not sure I have is the *time* to fix the skirt between now and then and, more importantly, the $33 for admission. :P
I may yet reconsider, but right now I'm feeling a little overwhelmed. Fixing the skirt isn't a very big deal, but I have some other obligations (like reading for rare book school) that i need to worry about too.
I'm going to see if hubby can get discount tickets from work for the zoo. He has to pay for them up front, so I need definite plans from others who want to go if he can. I'll have to find out how much it will be.
You know, you just reminded me that I can get discount tickets through the UCSD box office... it's still $29 though. I'll have to see how much money I spend this weekend in L.A.
