Computer microphone!

Got an external microphone for my computer from a friend's yard sale (traded her for a t-shirt)! I'm excited because that gives me more impetus to start recording (& posting) performance videos. I want to start a... sort of professional youtube vlog account of my various performing arts stuff. Monologues, songs, no dance since I'm not trained in that yet... maybe some film stuff, and/or a montage of recorded theatre performances, like an audition tape.

...but I've many personal things to deal with presently that take priority.

Dracula costuming

So, SFCC is planning on doing ***'s version of Dracula in the fall, and my costuming assignment in Stagecrafts class is creating costumes for the brides of Dracula. I know they're doing it in Victorian style, and that the director wants them in gauzy-bridal-looking-pastels-fadedglory sort of style. That's about it. I've read through the play, but don't really know what style he's going for, I assume traditional, since it's pretty accurate to the original novel.

But I has an ingenious idea.

WHAT IF DRACULA WAS STEAMPUNK THEMED?!??!?

I suddenly got very excited, but somehow, don't think this is probably the direction he had in mind, and probably wouldn't be cost-effective for a community college to produce, either.

Now ask me if I care. >:-D

Anyway, so I have to draw/color pictures of them, and come up with appropriate fabric swatches by Wednesday. Kind of excited, but still have a LOT to do!
