Dear Constant Reader,
I’m sorry for my silence this week, especially after you got so used to me pestering you to vote every day. Things have been so busy with The Great Burlesque Expo just two weeks away. And immediately after it, the exhibit of costumes that I am curating opens at The West End Museum. So please forgive my lack of posting. But I couldn’t forget your Friday tip!
Rehearse at least once in full costume with all of your jewelry, makeup, and hairstyle. You might discover some issues you hadn’t considered.
It’s no fun to discover that something doesn’t work when you’re on stage, like your false eyelashes and your domino mask are incompatible or that your dangly earrings get caught in your necklace when you turn your head. Try it all out together in advance and you’ll have time to make other plans.
Oh, The Glamourous Life!
