preping the acid green egyptian lycra for cairo caravan. fingers so tired of crystal chain. waist band and hem will wait till morning.  

open note to egyptian costume beaders:  "please please please knot the ends of your threads so i don't have to spend hours finishing your work!" why can they do the most exquisite hand beading and keep the stretch in the fabric but neglect to knot the end of the thread to secure the design on the fabric?

the latest show/festival dvds ripped for your viewing pleasure :p

the custom jazz fusion costume from miss kate.  most comfortable costume ever!  thanks again

we shot the dance scenes for the mardi gras band video today.  it was so much fun.  they asked us to bring our own costumes. 
who knew my '80s turkish fringe dress, a '90s lucy style egyptian tiara and some gothy fence net arm covers equal a mardi gras costume?
this is a not-so-great still on the green screen.  will post link to video when its released.
wait till you see lady borgia's head dress.  she looks like a burlesque mardi gras indian. so cool.
