Clothes and the Car... At the Theatre for Vogue, Photo by Sir Cecil Beaton, 1927.

I know a lot is going on in the world right now but this kind of loss of art is breaking my heart in two.

The Valentino’s Costume Group in Hollywood has lost everything after the death of their co-founder, the pandemic, strikes, etc. and is now being forced to do a very quick liquidation sale before having to send all of their years of hard work to be turned into rags. (Yes this is a real thing)

These people have crafted thousands of costumes over 20 years to rent to everyone and anyone who needed one. They’re sex worker and queer friendly. They’re also being accused of being “fast fashion” while being one of the few places in this world actively working against fast fashion with their work. They don’t want to have to turn their hard work into rags. It’s the only option for them with the enormous amount of costumes/fabrics they have to remove from the building very quickly.

So, Californians and anyone willing to travel to Hollywood: YOU can save a costume! (or two?) YOU can save someone’s art from being destroyed! YOU can own pieces of Hollywood! YOU can save so much sewing supplies and fabrics!

Where: 5535 CAHUENGA BLVD, N. HOLLYWOOD

Phone: 818-427-5248

Special hours for Influencers: May 20-30th 9:30am-4:30pm MON-SUN

What: Vintage, designer, menswear, historical, specialty, children’s, shoes, jewelry, vintage hats, show packages, racks, fabric, etc!

Important note: Please be kind and patient with the folks managing this sale. There’s maybe 2-3 people working at the most, and they all just suffered the death of someone close to them and the loss of their dream.

Please, please signal boost this. Their hard work should not go to waste and this terrible loss is already hard enough on them.

every day i think about that one illegal high school production of les miserables on youtube where they changed lovely ladies from being about sex workers to being about like... selling bread... but they kept all the lines about "waiting for the customers who only come at night" and "standing up or lying down or any way at all" which paints a strange and delightful picture of some kind of nighttime bread black market

musical theatre challenge: 1/3 costumes | amalia balash in she loves me (2016) 

"SHE LOVES ME was set in the 1930s, which was a period in fashion with a stylish signature. I referenced fashion designers Elsa Schaiparelli and Madeleine Vionnet, whose designs dominated the look of the decade, and contrasted those images with actual photographs of the time to give a feeling of idealized realism and then accented with Art Deco architecture." — Jeff Mahshie, costume designer

AND SO I ARRIVE

WITH YET ANOTHER HALF BAKED AU TO SHOW

Today were purely focusing on designs, specifically the ones for our main characters, Ruin and Bloodmoon

Which au is this? I assume you might be asking. Uh, Bloody Brotherhood, I made it, like, today. Basically instead of Ruin being a complete POS towards Bloodmoon it gets them on its side since the very beginning, explaining the plan to destroy the Creator Council and disabling the weak point and shock collar on the twins. They get along well, Ruin ending up becoming fond of Bloodmoon and Bloodmoon not getting into too much deadly trouble.

Anyways, designs

I don’t know what possessed me, but I…

I put Bloodmoon in a corset

From there I looked up Victorian clothing. I did not use any of the things I found (even though I do plan on drawing them in a dress later) but I did finish their design!

So here they are. Fancy lads aren’t they?

And then it was Ruin’s turn

I had some more trouble with a design for Ruin, as you can see I tried the corset strategy again, though it did not work this time, I did like the coat however. Then I got hit with the idea to put it in suspenders, and this design I liked more. As you may notice, it also has a fancy hat instead of the jester cap

Which leads to its final design. I actually really really like it, and I finally made a hat that looked good.

They’re a pair of fancy creatures those two

Oh yeah and they have unique names already.

It is my pleasure to introduce you all to Ruin Winter Eclipse, Decay Corpse Bloodmoon, and Waste Scrap Bloodmoon; Ruin, Decay, and Waste

Another Atlantis thing that I love that they seem to have kind of stopped doing after season 1 is getting to see the characters in their everyday clothes. Like that's they're home, they're obviously not going to be in uniform 24/7 and I love getting to see some personality come through in the choice of clothes that they brought along.

Fire Lord Lu Ten attends the Earth Rumble to find the best earth bender and boos along with everyone else when the fire nation guy comes in. Azula and Zuko look at him like he's crazy but their guards are also booing ("FUCK the Fire Nation!" and thrown snacks all around).

Colin Morgan and his... Merlin Costume ; _ ;

S1 Colin Morgan: This is basically eh my main costume. This is, this is the costume I actually wear in the very first coming into Camelot. This is pretty much, this my favorite costume coz this is probably my only one...so, sorry!

S5 Colin Morgan: Merlin is no longer the young boy that he once was even tho he is still wearing the same clothes that he was wearing when he was (CM laughs, screen shows ep1 opening) um...

Okay so fun fact for IB theatre (a class I’m in) you write a 12 page proposal on how you would produce, design, block, and essentially execute an entire show and I was og gonna do cabaret but honestly… after everything that’s happened as of late with AI and SAG-aftra and such how would we feel abt a 12 page paper on a production of newsies set in modern times?? Like everything’s the same it’s just… now
