Wicked: Costume Directory (Fiyero)

"Genuinely self-absorbed and deeply shallow."

Fiyero Tiggelar (sp?) is a Winkie Prince that comes to Shiz University. He romances Galinda, but then ends up falling for the more serious Elphaba. In the book, he has blue skin and diamonds. (?) But in the musical, he's a much more normal, INSANELY HAWT young man.

What's New, Pussycat? (WHOAH, WHOAH WHOAH)

Well, here's what's new... Dogs are winning in the poll by about 50%. I was basing my research off of myself (cat), Maggie (cat), and Koshka the Cat (you guess), but apparently I was mistaken.

In other news, I discovered the motherload... I don't know how I missed this, but check out Wicked In Pix on Tumblr. I don't even know what tumblr is, but there are like 80 million pix here. I just grabbed all the Glinda ones and some of the Fiyero and Elphaba ones (I'm SORRY! I'm just biased, okay?!)... Oh yeah, and a Fiyero costume directory is imminent.

Sierra Boggess backstage

Youtube video with Sierra Boggess (the original Ariel) giving us a backstage tourof her dressing room, insider secrets, and more. This video was (I believe) included with the DVD release of Little Mermaid III: Ariel's Beginning or whatever it was called. I haven't seen it yet.

The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Pink Gown

Oh! Just look! It's like I'm in a storybook!
Oh! It's bliss! I dreamed that it would be
Somewhat- But not like this!

Legally Blonde: Elle's Graduation Robe

Ladies and gentlemen of the class of two thousand and--
--here's the part where she makes her big speech
We're all proud, but Elle's not one to preach
So she said we could play Where Are They Now!
Here we go!

things I have done lately by corbyjane

So, welcome newcomers blahblahblah.
My traffic increased by about 500 people the day Maggie posted my link on her homepage. This probably means my personal blog (which was where costume posts were originally) will decrease in numbers, but it's okay.

Alli Mauzey interview

I don't know how I missed this, but here's Alli Mauzey giving a backstage tour of her dressing room.

Glinda inspired-by dress?

Julia cited this Dior dress as a very probable inspiration for the Bubble Dress.

Welcome newcomers!

According to my stats, my blog has had 165 visits since Tuesday. I don't know how many of you are first time visitors or how many are returning, but welcome to all of you, and be sure to let me know if you have any questions or requests.

Cheap Trick... more than just a band.

So, I happened across this on eBay. Available by the yard for $16.99, it's gold organza with self embroidery.

"You are bidding on one yard of a beautiful gold organza with self embroidery Fabric is 104 inches wide and is great for you, your dolls or any Holiday projects. I have used this for curtains, and Civil War Reproduction ball gowns.It is a beautiful fabric. There is more uncut yardage in my Ebay store, Memaw's Attic."

Glinda Wigs

Thanks to a little research, which our angel in Germany Julia has confirmed, it looks like Glinda has three wigs.

Updates on Glinda costumes...

Julia (involved in the German production of Wicked) emailed me to give me LOTS of info about Glinda & Elphaba's costumes, as well as sending me a TON of behind the scenes pictures. All the pictures are being integrated into the normal galleries on photobucket, but you can see all of hers in one gallery here.
