Picture of the day!

Here's Andy rehearsing the great "Flying Toupee" bit. Behind him is Jen looking impish after yanking his hairpiece off. We had a great day shooting the wedding scene down in Burien.

Staff Infection!

A couple of weeks ago, my  friend Carol Davies called me up and asked me if I'd be willing to create a prop for the Edmonds School District musical. They're doing Disney's "Aladdin" (it seems like everyone is doing Disney's "Aladdin" this year... in fact, Edmonds is so fond of the idea, they're doing it in two different schools with two different casts! Meadowdale Middle School  This weekend! Edmonds Elementary Anyway, I needed to make the staff for Jafar, the bad guy... remember him?

The first day of the session I asked them to write their names on pieces of paper, so that i could take mugshots of them and hopefully get some idea of their personalities and imaginations.

"You have the right to remain happy"  In the history of costume, has there ever been anyone as gleefully out there as Carmen Miranda?    I know Lady Gaga is going for the outlandish these days, but there's something really disturbing about her look sometimes.And Elton John in his prime went for the car, but he'd do the full body duck suit and other conceptual marvels. Ms. Miranda just needed a bunch of bananas and something to hold them to her head. She'd slap that fruit on, match it with a sexy dress and sell it all through the sheer force of her talent and personality.  I have to respect that . "You have the right to remain happy" appears courtesy of The Douglass-Geer Collection.
