Any excuse to put this many of my favorite people in the same post ^___^
I was going to just link Lucia to one stage photo and be done with it... And then this turned into a post that took me an hour and a half. ^^;;;
In response to how lovely Alice-chan looks in her finale costume, I wanted to say "very nearly as lovely as O-Hana looked in it".
And then I made a compilation of Alice-chan and other wonderful musumeyaku in the same dresses.

I caught this one as soon as I saw it on shonichi, and got a somewhat chagrined "Ah, so people do realize, don't they..." from Alice-chan when I brought it up. But I don't think it's something to be embarrassed about. I'm overjoyed whenever Alice-chan wears O-Hana's dresses, after all...

Several people had commented on this dress seeming familiar, and Alice-chan never told us which revue it was from, just "Hanafusa-san wore it". But I realized it's firmly planted in my brain because I flip past it all the time when going through my stage photo collection. :)
I knew there was one more from a previous show, but looking at everything Alice-chan wore in BaraAme and Amour I knew it wasn't any of those... And then I remembered -- I should've been thinking back one show further.

The following are the absolute best screencaps I could get, because while *I* was following Alice-chan the entire 2 minutes she wore this dress on stage, the camera only follows her for the precious few seconds in which she makes her dramatic revelation.
And then I started thinking about ParaPuri and getting sniflly, but before I took out the DVD I confirmed that two other dresses from Castel Mirage were reused here -- Masami wore one of Ryou Akino's and Ayumi-san wore Taki-san's. APPROPRIATE, Y/Y?
