Long time no blog...


Well, if I've learned one thing about myself in the last 6 months, it's that I'm terrible at keeping up with a blog. Which is a shame because the last six months have been pivotal in for both my personal and professional development. Not to mention I had some darn good fun! I'll try to fill in the blanks for you a bit. So first of all, I Love a Piano was a blast. I had Irving Berlin stuck in my head for--actually, come to think of it, I still have Irving Berlin music stuck in my head. Here's what the show looked like:
Cute, right? It was good old-fashioned fun. Sort of 40s/50s inspired with a modern twist. The costumes were mostly bought and altered. My favorite part of this show was that I got to do hair for almost all the girls. It was all about twists and curls and (sort-of) victory rolls. And I had so much fun!

After I Love a Piano was over and done with, I took a trip to California to visit the Make-up Designory (or MUD, as we affectionately refer to it)--which I was interested in attending. I saw the school, checked out apartments, and pretty much made the decision that I was Los Angeles-bound. Of course, that makes it sound as if it was an easy decision. It wasn't, I assure you. I was getting rather comfy in Indianapolis--I had good friends nearby and fairly steady work coming in. But I couldn't shake the feeling that I wasn't where I was supposed to be. And so I made the decision to stop wishin' and hopin' and chase down my dreams. So I set a departure date (March 1st) and I started scheming.

But before any schemes could come to fruition, I had lots of business to attend to in Indianapolis. Including, but not limited to, finishing my Halloween costume!
