Well, Its that time again...
Nutcracker cast lists are posted across the US and craziness has set in at ballet company costume workshops around the world. Actually, this year we are in really good shape. We have already fit half the cast in their pieces thanks to my amazing staff who are on the ball as usual.
There will be some new builds this year, a new set of rat tutus, and an old group of baby mice has resurfaced from an old build from about ten years ago. And they look in really good shape considering their age and the amount of use/abuse they have sustained in the past decade. Its hard to believe that the people who worn them when they were first built have graduated high school and are now in COLLEGE!!!! Again, i can not stress that building costumes to full theatrical/ ballet company standards is so worth it!! The life line is incredible.
This years build will include new Candy's, which i have no idea on design yet. It took me about eight hours of research just to come up with the designs for a new Harlequin boy doll, so designs for 3 sets for Candy's is a bit intimidating. Silly to feel over whelmed by a group of costumes for 6 year olds, but there are so many AWFUL designs out there (and i use the term very loosely!! lol)
There is a group of candy canes, and then 2 other types of candy. I have no idea what kind yet, but i can promise all you , they will not be some hideiuos lycra flourescent CRAP!!!!!
Tuesday i head to LA fo a trade show, and hope to pickup some new vendors. I am looking for some INSPIRATION here, so don't let me down LA CONVENTION CENTER

Madoka Ueno is producing her debut DVD and i am making the cover outfit!! so exciting to work with J-pop celebs and creat for such amazing artists!! i will post images when available and link up to sound bits for you too. Can't wait for the pv to shoot!!!
