Do stores forget about a couple of holidays before Christmas? I had to do a run into Target for a costume piece for the film I am working on and I saw Christmas decorations up!
It really gets my goat (if I had one) that retailers start putting up Christmas decorations before Halloween and even before Thanksgiving. I love Halloween (it is one of my favorite holidays) and I still dress up (probably has to do with the fact that I'm a costume designer and can't get enough of costumes and clothing). While I don't trick-or-treat anymore, my friends and I still get together and do stuff. I need to find some of the pictures from the last few Halloweens.
But, on to what I've been up to. For the past two weeks I've been working on a film as the assistant wardrobe person. It is called "Once Upon a Summer" and should be out in theaters some time next year. I'm excited to see my name up there in the credits! I also want to see how the clothes look on the really big screen. I've seen how they look on the actors and how they look on the small monitor, but not on the really big screen, so I can't wait. It is a really great story and it has some people that most Utahn's will recognize because, I think, the entire cast is local. But I want to see how the whole movie looks.
I've also been working on a gown for myself. I've been working on a Musketeer costume for Jakob and I've run into a bit of a snag for that, so I wanted to do something for myself. I haven't been able to do something for me for a while, so I decided I was going to. It was kind of depressing when I remeasured myself to set my dress form and saw that my measurements have gone up. Time to start working out again. This is what happens when I'm not dancing many hours a day/week. Eh, I'm happy so that counts right?
Jakob landed a commercial. I'm excited. The commercial is directed by Ryan Little, the same guy who did Saints and Soldiers. I might stop by set next week and take pictures of Jakob in his costume.
As soon as I've charged up my camera, I'll post some pictures of the fabric and some of the stuff that I've finished this year.
