It is a Very "White Christmas"

Have you missed me?  For the past 45+ days I have been designing costumes for a "White Christmas" musical production by the Crighton Players at the Owen Theatre in Conroe, TX.  This was a 25-member cast that performed four large 'show' numbers on top of their character acting.  I spent 11 days in a row with only 3 1/2 - 4 hours of sleep  per night, while mostly living my life at the Theatre, designing, cutting, sewing - re-designing, budgeting, etc.  Eating was not on the list - nor was hygiene (we will not go into that now - suffice it to say that I really appreciate deodorant and body spray, or air freshener, whichever is handy).  It gets worse - I actually went to work one day in my housecoat and socks.  I was too exhausted to think or move and just grabbed an armload of clothes and threw them into the back of my car - at least I had the where-withal to grab some clothes. (btw - at no point during my barely conscious maneuvering did I look bad...you know, once I got dressed!)

In spite of the fact that I was obviously functioning on a Solitary Operational Brain Cell, the production is simply stunning, if I do say so myself.  (And the great reviews echo that.) The cast has managed to show off my costumes as if they were the star of the show.  In all - over 250 costumes! It is pretty sight to watch as my costumes dance all over the stage. 

Guess how much the effect of good costuming has on a theater production?  A LOT.  You might have a great show, but if your costuming is bad, people notice - and it detracts exponentially from your show.  Great costuming can elevate your show - the actors feel better and respond in kind.

Guess how much the effect of good dressing has on You?  MORE than a lot.  First, you know you are not dressed well and your attitude will match.  Then - other people know you are not dressed well - and it detracts exponentially from your impression on them.  You are the star of your own show.  No one else.  Don't settle for less than you are worth.  Don't allow poor dressing to ruin your reviews.  Put yourself in the center of your stage and dress accordingly. Don't stand in the wings because you just are not dressed like a star.  BE THE STAR OF YOUR LIFE.

If you need help putting yourself on your main stage - give me a jingle - that is what the Closet Fairy is here for - we can put you front and center. (And ALWAYS have a fabulous housecoat!)

God bless you richly.  I know that He has blessed me!
