I had once said I wanted to run away and join the circus, now I work for 3...and I feel like I'm in a three ring Circus!

My full time job at Cirque du soleil keeps me pretty busy on a noraml day. 40 plus hours a week making costumes for cirque is pretty tiring, but the benifits are great, the kids that work the show awesome, and such.


Now working for the Chime Long Circus in China long distance from the USA is really exauhsting. the phone calls in the early wee hours in the morning, the confrence calls at 5am...the constant miscommunication due to language issues, and sizing issues. That combined with the Japanese Circus I am now also involved with is making my head spin.

I have to finish 2 shows worth of costumes, and my seamstress seems to have flaked out. so now I'm flying solo.

The Kooza trip at the end of July may get postponned, I just don't know if I will have the sanity or strength to go. ^.^
i promised Justin I would come see him in his new show. He plays a really scary sort of devil/demon character that has phenominal makeup and costuming. I'd love to see up close the application of the makeup.

ah well....

Off to work on diabolo costumes. ^.^

See ya at the circus!

Wow. (That's so cool! >.<;)

Are you designing or what? Sounds cool... if a little manic.

Awww, shit! Seamstress just quit? Can you draft in anyone? Which is more flexible, the deadline or the complexity of the makes? If you have to compromise, where's there movement?

Just, please, remember to keep eating frequently... cos I bet you're gonna pull all-nighters getting all this done. Eat and drink properly!

no she just flaked out. Like she didn't even realise this was important and kinda just shrugged it off.

Cool. I wish I knew enough about costuming to be able to draft patterns.

So you make costumes? Neato. I just stitch rips in cloths.
