Dear Constant Reader,
Before I was a performer, I was a costumer. Thus when I am creating an act, the first thing I think is “what will I wear?” and that often dictates the choreography.
Sometime I make or acquire costumes and I have no idea how they want to be presented on stage. Case in point, this beauty.
When I joined the costume presentation “Victorian Secret“, I told myself I’d have to reuse the corset in a burlesque costume (I decided the chemise and drawers were exempt). Since then I’ve added a bra, garter belt, and side-tie panties. A skirt is in the works. Possibly gloves. Maybe a headpiece. It’s going to be stunning, if I do say so myself.
Except I have no idea how to use it. Nothing is coming to mind. No concept, no music, no hook. Nothing.
Alas. I shall keep working on the costume in hopes that inspiration strikes. However, soon I am going to have to set it aside in favor of costumes for Wrathskellar Tales.
Oh, The Glamourous Life!
