Much to my surprise I feel just fine today, took a long walk with a friend and had coffee afterwards. She wants some help with a flamingo costume for the local burlesque club in a couple of weeks, so I came up with a suggestion or two, and hopefully I will get to play around with pink tulle and feathers in the next week or two, maybe make a beak too - that would be fun.
Isn't animals a dull theme, though? I'm sure there will be hundreds of pussycat and bunny costumes, and maybe one or two really clever and funny animal costumes, like E's shrimp suit. Not at all tempted to go with the theme myself, I think I'll try to flesh out the Carmen Miranda turban a little instead. I would love to get hold of a taxidermied bird for it, but I might try to make a bird wing myself.
We didn't take any pictures of the green shirt yesterday night, unfortunately - A was in no shape to hold a camera. I'll try to amend that as soon as possible. It turned out allright, I'm always displeased with something, but it looks pretty good.
