Yesterday my Easter basket contained a note saying that the Kyoto Fashion Institute book was in the mail. I really didn't want lots of candy for Easter (for both my sanity and my body's health) - that really didn't work, but hey, I tried. So the book came today - all 730 something pages of full color photos of both historical clothing pieces and reproductions! AHH! It is such bliss to pour over the piles of pages and see the difference between the various headpieces and dresses, corsets and shoes. I don't think I will tire of the book for a long while.
Meanwhile, Macbeth is going quite well - we open on Wednesday. My costume is very simple. A black blazer with black dress pants, black loafers and stockings with a white dress shirt and black patterned tie. I think it looks okay - very masculine. I think I will be the most androgynous character on the stage during the next few days of performances.
