This Exhibit was SO COOL! I'm SOOO Glad that Gretchen & I were able to make it up there (especially since it was a fairly last minute planned trip to boot!). We spent about 3.5 hrs at the museum (mostly cause of me taking pictures of EVERYTHING) on a Saturday (3/19/2011) before we had to leave...not cause the museum was kicking us out, but because I had to race back to Orange County to pick up my car (we had carpooled in Gretchen's car) so I could then race over to the Hensley's house and babysit their munkins (as they were heading out to the Social Daunce Irregular's Spring Victorian Ball that evening). Whew! I was a tad late, but at least I made it & they were able to take off fairly quickly after I arrived.

Well, if you'd like to see the 1500 pics I took of this exhibit (I TOLD you I took a LOT of pics), you can find them here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/shutterbec/sets/72157626218879463/

Enjoy!

helping out at LosCon 35 - Costume Repair Station

So, a couple of days ago, I started toying with the idea that since I'm already going to be at LosCon for the evening programming (to see my friends in the Lux Theater group perform), perhaps I could just hang out for the day at LosCon and even help out at the Costume Repair Station (CRS). And then when I checked the website's list of departments, I saw that a friend of mine is heading up the CRS, so I spontaneously decided to email her and find out if she needed help or not.

And of course, she does. =)
(Seriously, though, did I really expect her to say, "No, I don't need addtional help. I've got plenty of volunteers lined up"? LOL! I should know better =).

Anyways, since I didn't really have any scheduled plans for the Friday (during the day), I've now decided to go ahead and help out at the CRS! Go me!

And to think I've actually never yet been to LosCon (and now I'm going to be volunteering at it).
=)

Should be interesting!

White Christmas playing at the historic LA Theater!

On Sunday December 7th at 2:00pm the Los Angeles Theater (a historic theater in downtown LA) will be showing "White Christmas" (1954). How fun is that? =)

I am SO going! (And I'm going with some other costumers too).

Now, if I can somehow manage to pull together a 1950s outfit in time, that will just be the icing on the cake. =)
