Let the Games Begin!

Just some... of the poppy hats waiting for their final tizzying!

Hello Dhaaarlings...

Audition weekend has been and almost gone!

Final cast numbers are 60 players!

All 60 kids have been measured for costume sizing... and now the real work begins...

Princess has the job of creating

30! Poppies   24 girls/ 6 boys



6 Flying Monkeys


26 Winkies

8 Crows




24 Jitterbugs

That the team want to be lit with battery pack LED lights sewn in to the costume! I just love a challenge!




9 Cyclones



28 Ozians but more specifically the 3 Manicurists/ 3 Beauticians/ 3 Polishers That I'll be designing and making the uniforms for... 



Professor Marvel... Replete with Vest and matching turban





30 Munchkins! / Various including the 3 Lollipop Leaguers and The Coroner...




fortunately most of the munchkins will be dressed in costumes from previous productions with just a little tweaking...

Every kid in the Supporting cast has between 3 to 5 costume changes throughout the show!

So it will be Head down and Bum up from now to the end of July for this little Princess.

With somewhere near 200 individual costumes to source design and create I'll be hoping to co-opt some parental volunteers to assist me... 

Wish me luck Darlings!

There... But for the Grace of "Kelly" Go I...

Hello Dhaaarlings...

We have been graced with the ghost of Grace...



Flags adorn every entrance to town...



No it's not your eyes... the wind was blowing in the wrong direction... and I couldn't be arsed crossing the street.



The papers are a buzz with the news that the  "Bendigo Art Gallery" has another fashion coup on it's hands...

Another "F F E" or Fabulous Fashion Exhibition!...


 Following the raging success of both the 
The Golden age of Fashion Exhibition 2010 and the more recent White Wedding Dress Exhibition 2011. This year we are exposed to everything Grace.
Sponsored by the Victoria and Albert Museum, London and the Grimaldi Forum, Monaco

Bendigo is Host to "Grace Kelly:Style Icon"

Running from March through to June 2012... The Exhibition will display a range of Iconic gowns by Dior, Balenciaga, Givenchy and Yves St Laurent...

I'm quite beside myself darlings... I'm hoping to crawl out from under the pile of tulle and sequins for long enough to go and grab myself... 
.....a Look!
