Re: colors
I certainly think that some people are more sensative to colors than others. I once had a weird argument with a props person about getting a bag to match a skirt. To me the skirt was clearly salmon, but they only thought in terms of pink or peach. Even holding up swatches of fabric which were to me clearly different colors didn't make this particular person grok the difference between pink, peach and salmon.
Now see, I wouldda thrown a swatch of coral to fuck with him even more.
weird, you KNEW it was a him!?!
Yup. I have had these issues with male prop people and directors when I costumed.
right now I am working on a show where the direction givewn was "Texas trailer trash", where everyTexas/western touch is hated by the director. Also, we are in tech rehearsal and they are bitching because we are still working on costumes. Sorry that tech rehearsal does not equal dress rehearsal, fuckers!
Hmmm... I may have some residual anger, but we are given no extra time to dress the actors, then screamed at because no costumes! We actually have them ready except for distressing!
There are really a lot of people with too much time on their hands.
For whatever reason, I refuse to do any of the things on my to-do list, including sleep, so I'm watching House from earlier. I guess I could figure out what to pack while I watch, but eh.
I just packed my stuff for this weekend. I have 9 bottles of wine, one bottle of scotch, a bottle of liqueur, and a box of mango juice in my suitcase, plus a few pieces of clothes.
