Adventures in Face Paint
Well that didn’t take too long… pictures under the cut. Ignore the stupid hat, I needed something to keep my hair out of the way and that was closest.
I just realized that because a) I’m lazy about these things and b) I own a lot of clown/theatre makeup (you know, as you do) I could totally go as the poster art for the original broadway production of Godspell as a cheap/quick Halloween costume.
and just wear like, a Superman shirt.
Wait now I kind of want to do this…but only at a theatre party where MAYBE people would get it. (All my theatre friends throw shade on musicals. whompwah)
hulu and CW are pushing birth control and Plan B to me like whoa.
Like, I’m intimately familiar with both products, jsut because you know I’m a college lady doesn’t mean that’s the only thing to market at me.
Damn.
So the building I work at is used 90% of the time for performative events: dance shows, variety shows, musicals, talent competitions, lectures, worship services, classes, etc. The other 10% is when the lobbies are rented out for small gatherings, usually by groups within the university, or by wedding parties who have the ceremony outside on the forecourt that faces the quad. For people who can think of no better place to get married than the University of Illinois’s Main Quad, apparently.
Anyways, tonight was one of those 10% events. Some kind of thing in the upper lobby. So I get here and I’m waiting for the caterer to show up. I’m sitting in the back of the balcony of the theatre on my phone and all of the sudden I hear someone belting “Rose’s Turn” from Gypsy. It’s one of the caterers. It’s ADORABLE. I get up to meet him and he sees me and immediately stops. I just thought it was so cute that this guy did this, but I wished we could’ve done a duet across this 750 seat house.
people should burst out into song more often. More people would join you than you think.
My Props Class Final Project: all 4 legs were individually cut and sanded. I used a matte clear finish on the legs and frame. I made the cushion and sewed the piping, put it all together, stapled a masking on the bottom.
Looks deceptively simple, but getting all 4 legs to look the same took FOREVER and the point where the legs join the frame was a bitch for me because I didn’t cut the leg properly. The cushion came together pretty easily, it was sort of a happy accident that the corner came out that neatly. I made sure the piping matched the stripe, which meant merging two pieces of piping instead of a loop.
Overall, pretty pleased with this project…a lot of work for a pretty small object. Learned a lot about furniture making.
things currently frustrating me
- not yet having a place to live in new york
- not getting laid tonight
- Candy Crush Saga
- conflicted feeling about my friend’s interview tomorrow
- the fact i’ve probably gained like 8lbs since finals started
