We’ve been trying out costumes for the Great Hall Players production of ‘Come into the Garden, Maud’ for the past couple of weeks. I do love the evening dress I shall be wearing for the post-party scene. Although I don’t like it quite as much as the one I couldn’t get myrib cage zipped into. Weight I can lose, but I can’t lose ribcage ?
I am now puzzling over how I can quick-change from 1960s casual hair to evening hair, when I am on stage for a lot of the play. I think it could be a challenge. I might play about with speed-glamming up a bouffant tomorrow. It will humour me, whilst simultaneously helping to sooth my ‘essay writing’ and ‘Christmas-shopping-with-next-to-no-money’ pain ?
I quite fancy the idea of experimenting to see if I can create something like the Missy Sue up-do tutorial below, I found on YouTube. I think it might be quite elegant if I can pull it off in the time that I have and if the director thinks it suits the scene. I want to be confident that I can get my hair up well within the time I have off-stage. I will time the scene when we are next in rehearsals to see how long I have.
Ah, the magic of the theatre. The play is being performed live and ‘in-the-round’ so there will be no hiding if I stride back on the stage and my hair starts flapping about mid-scene.
m not sure weather this will suit me or not
There’s only one way to find out 🙂 I need to practice trying to get it to work on my hair. My hair is too fine and it keeps falling down.

Where ever you go the hair problem is common on every continent of Earth.
Very true. I am going to see if I can find a hair piece, or something to hide under my hair to fluff it up a bit and see if that works ?
