Historically dubious, though.
True. Still interesting and pretty to gaze upon. (I'm trying to give it some small token.) My Costume History professor is probably spinning, though. I might have to send her an e-mail to find out.
Tracy: Well-- That call -- That call means you just murdered me. Mal: No, son. You murdered yourself. I just carried the bullet a while.

No call from the vet yet. I'm not too worried, I figure he's just swamped, given what I saw last night. He's called late before.
Thanks for the good wishes.

The status is NOT quo.
I could give you violin lessons! Or viola!
IMHO, though, a super cheap violin is probably less useful than an electric one. Much easier to sound good on the electric. Of course, my most prized possession is my real violin, but I kinda want an electric one too. Lots.
ETA: much -ma for MK, Sara.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here
Are historically accurate costumes more important in movies than in theatre? Because we almost never do historically accurate costumes-- we just did You Can't Take It With You as vintagesque modern and I like it-- I am usually willing to give costumes some historical leeway if they hang together--- but then movies/tv are so much more realistic, so....

much ~ma for Mr. Kitty. I'm sorry about all this, sarameg.

I worry less tonight with him at the vets than if he were home, honestly. I miss him, but... They are equipped there to keep him happier and less miserable. I'm just skirting bad thoughts about what the xrays and tests showed and want to know, you know.

Speaking of historically dubious, I was at a thingy for the Joffrey Ballet the other night, with a guy who's just created a new ballet for them based loosely on Jane Austen. Loosely as in it's sort of inspired by that milieu, rather than taking any of the story elements. But anyway, he had the costume designer with him, and they were talking about how they had conceived and researched the general set and costume look to reflect that inspiration. Quite fascinating, but I snorted when the designer kept going on about Renaissance fashions. Um.
And then afterwards I got a look at the marketing materials which again talked about Jane Austen and the Victorian era. Double um.

Just call me "Siouxsie Shunshine".
Much amounts of ~ma for Mr. Kitty, sarameg, and for you.
I'm a lot like you Sophia, with ideals on costumes. Right now my fall production, Fools, is a lose interp of 1890's Ukraine with a heavy influence of farce and fairy tale.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I hope the vet calls with good news soon, sarameg.
