A picture a day for a year.
See my life, one pic at a time.
Here's to a wonderful year.
Every time I walk into a theatre a familiar song plays in the back of my head. The song is ‘As If We Never Said Goodbye’ from the musical Sunset Blvd. the song talks about how Norma Desmond returns to the studio after a long absence. I guess this song fits perfectly with my life. I studied theatre in college, learned way too much, and fell in love with every aspect of it. Then after graduation, nothing happened. I went on new adventures but only to return home to find nothing but a desk job. So I took it and gave up on my passion. I felt the need for money was more important. But giving up something you love will always leave you empty inside. I started to make costumes on the side and suddenly I was slowly becoming whole. It was a good thing that I have friends that love dressing up. I was able to create again. Then after some swift kicks in the ass I started to build a portfolio. Suddenly working in a call center just become a way to make money.
After many years I finally got a shot at doing a show. I would only be an assistant to the designer but that was enough for me! I was finally in a theatre again. That’s all I ever wanted. It felt right. It was truly as if we never said goodbye. It was something I could finally feel proud about. I help design a show. I felt, for the frist time in a long time, like I mattered. I worked hard on something and it showed. I felt something that call center could never give me. I picked up another show, which was Sunset Blvd oddly enough. Though I wouldn’t be the costume designer, I would be doing props. Which to me is another resume credit I can add. It’s still awesome. I can’t believe that I have returned to the place I’ve abanded for so long.
So now I embark on my hardest task yet, I’m designing a whole show. I can’t believe I just typed that. Me. A whole show. I can’t believe it. I’m ready for it.
I hope everyone comes to see it.
In conclusion, theatre is back in my life. It’s as if we never said goodbye.

Paper can act better than her! I hope she goes away soon!

Look at that costume I made of LSP!! It really turned out pretty amazing! And the person wearing it looks pretty damn sexy as well!!COSPLAY SPOTLIGHT PT 2
And here is part two of my cosplay pictures from the con.
pics 1 & 2 are Tomoe Mami from Puella Magi Madoka Magica, if I am correct. Ok this girl was the cutest thing! <3 Look at her pose in the second picture. She has got the moe anime girl thing DOWN. Her wig, makeup, and accessories were really awe inspiring. She had very long eyelashes with these gorgeous golden circle lenses that you can’t really see due to a combo of my camera’s limitations and bad lighting. She also styled the wig herself. Those curls! I was just really impressed with all the ork she put into her costume. Btw, her skirt is glittery.
Pics 3 & 4 are another Lumpy Space Princess! She was ALL sparkles and sas and just really blew me away with her outfit. What a gorgeous take on the character. She was so sassy and pretty. *swoon!
Pic 5 is Cartman from South Park. They even had a bag of cheesy poofs. Too cool. She was great and we talked as much as we could in a loud and very crowded area about how we need more plus sized people cosplaying and just really having a good time with it no matter what. A+ for flipping off the camera in perfect Cartman style.
Pic 6 is a very cute lolita. I see this girl around at the cons but we never talk. I’m sure it’s because in the past I probably haven’t made myself very approachable but she was wearing a very cute Milky Planet dress. I adore Milky Planet so of course I wanted to drool all over her. We talked about how lolita is the best date wear, and why we are ok with replicas, and really how sickening all the drama in the community is and how we just want to stay out of it now. It was really refreshing to speak to another plus sized lolita about these issues. However, when I asked if I could put her picture here (Yes I did ask everyone for their permission first) , she gave me the impression she felt I would me doing so to mock her. I tried to explain myself but I think I may not have always done my best at combating that image of myself in the past. What I am trying to say is, sometimes you just miss out on cool people trusting you because of past mistakes and that sucks. But she really was a cutie. <3
HEY EVERYONE! COME SEE HOW CUTE I LOOK!
Day 5- mirazozo! It was awesome!!
Day 4- My second favorite non lesbian lesbian, Mucho with the fat boobies! :)
Day 3- I’m alittle behind on this, but ill catch up. Theatre. I love it. Nothing makes me happier than sitting in a theatre. No customers yell at me or bitch about a service not working. The only stress is to get everything done by a certain time. And that’s the stress I love! This is just the begining of something amazing!
Day 2— Las Vegas. I love this city so.
DAY 1— Call center hell. Nothing exciting ever happens here. Day after day its always the same. This place bores me to no end. How much longer till I kiss this place goodbye, couldn’t happen soon enough.
