Old News




Most of you that know me outside of blog land have already seen these babies but I had forgotten that I hadn't posted them online. I really wanted a set of fans, so much so that I'm already working on my second set, but I just couldn't bare paying anywhere from $400 to $1500 for them. Really if I can help it I never spend money on things I can do for myself. Saying that I would never do this the same way again, it was time consuming and painful and mentally just the feather search alone ended up being an adventure with an unyielding and dire outcome. The fans sat unfinished for months because I couldn't get the same pink feathers. On top of all this and unknown to me at the time they got snagged on a mans belt buckle as they where entering onto the stage for the first time. The fans and my heart were a little broken and panicked in the moment but we have both since recovered.

Candy Cane Anyone?


The girls and I are getting ready for our next show and compiling many little lists of the things that need to get done. One such list is for props, not just for our performances but for the whole show and as you can imagine there are a couple of hard to find items. Besides having to give Miss Monkey a sex change we also need to find a stage hook for removing any riff raff that might come along. We all immediately tried to get our hands on a jumbo Christmas candy cane that no one would care if we painted, not so easy when you've missed Christmas by two months. Of course that is what thrift stores and duck tape are for and I always love a good hunt. Mind you I had to buy all that they had even though I only ended up using two but for $2.99 a dozen I think I'll live.
