Why Can I Not Has LLL?

From a lovely little blog I found:

I got to see the costume shop, armory, and millenry (hats) departments yesterday too. They had all the Love's Labours costumes hanging about and they are STUNNING. There are lots of antique fabrics, beadwork, and incredibly intricate layering. I saw David Tennett's doublet up close and it is really incredible. It's all handstiched blue suede, with slashing all over it and a grey-blue silk peeping through, another layer of lining, and then the inner lining of the jacket. So gorgeous. One of the dresses for the girls nearly made me faint. It's an incredible dark sapphire blue with orange/red themed flower embroidery in a large print all over. So so so pretty. Ugh. I wish I could wear it! Armory was neat. They've got some suits of real leather armor with intricate stamping and embossing all over. They also do the boots and shoes there. So cool.

You are one of many talents! *is impressed*

I'm just mildly surprised that anyone else would fit into a leather doublet custom-made to fit DT.

Naw, I just had a really strange youth in DC (NCS is the National Cathedral School for Girls -- at the National Cathedral ... British method, and incredible education, plus: cathedral right there!).

I've done a bunch: pro ballet (till my right knee had its third and final surgery), theater (same time as the ballet career, same end), film casting (worked for Joy Todd on 5 films, decided Hollywood production was not for me), time in college & grad school, then went on to publishing -- which is theatrical enough in the science fiction industry to suit me most days. But I miss the stage so much, and I wonder now if I would have been able to adapt to film production without losing much of my soul. Much. But it's too late now at 48, so I try not to pine too much. Been doing a lot of that lately as freelance editing is drying up across the industry.

That's quite the resume - publishing, eh? And you're reading my drivel? *laughs* I have a daughter who wants to be a ballerina and your mention of multiple surgeries makes me nervous. *crosses fingers that your knee is still somewhat functional*

Here's hoping things pick up for you soon!
