Garlands to wear on a neck ring and interchangeable. Lots of fun to make!

TATE Concert 10/17

So I finally got away to see TATE (The Airborne Toxic Event) again. They've been touring like crazy and haven't been back in NYC since March. Drove up to Northern Lights outside Albany for a Saturday night show rather them see them at Webster Hall at 11 pm on a weekday! And the dress code at Webster Hall is "trendy". Oh, plu-eaze.



Not only bought a ticket but then won a pair as well through TATE's website. A photo contest no less, with a 100 words essay on why the photo represents their music. Re-reading it now makes me feel like I must have been having a flashback or something when I was writing. Just try writing anything meaningful in 100 words. Really. Difficult.

The show was excellent, partly because the audience was great. Small, but really into TATE. No dress code. And I was NOT the only woman wearing a skirt for once.



CD signing after the show so I got (another) copy of the CD. Man, these guys are so nice.

Bruce and I made a weekend of it and ate out, stayed at a place with a whirlpool and did a stop over at a small local winery for a tasting. Mmm, a lifestyle I could get used to.

Vogue Photo Shoot


I recently worked on a project that happened on Tuesday. The Met lent some costumes to Vogue Magazine for a shoot that Annie Lebowitz was doing for the December issue. The theme was "Hansel and Gretel". Annie is on the left with the camera (duh). The two models on the ground wearing designer clothes are Lily Cole and Andrew Garfield. The Sandman in the tree (in the Met costume) is Sasha Cooke, the actual Met singer that sang the role on stage. The Maitre D' (fish) is also one of our costumes.


Here's the cottage scene were H and G are sad and half starved. The whole day was so interesting; everyone was incrediably professional and FRIENDLY!

Opening Night




Opening Night at the MET. Drinks beforehand and all the office friends on the plaza for the show. There is nothing like a cool, breezy fall night on NYC! Lights glitter like stars only matched by women's dresses and everyone's mood! Lovely!
