Went up with a friend on Friday night to USM to the Russell Theater to see A Servant of Two Masters - with Truffaldino and all the characters. The costumes were all themed for recycling, with mops and strippy black plastic trash bags for wigs, a carboretor filter for a ruff, bubblewrap for outer skirt and bow trims, curly ribbon for hair, candy wrappers sewed on as an edge trim on a skirt, and on and on.
The ensemble was really working together. The whole thing was so well done, and very funny. What a great time, and pretty instructive too. Now I can see the roots of Lucille Ball, Robin Williams, Gene Wilder, vaudeville too. My companion was knowledgeable and very generous with information. Had a great time.
The rest of the weekend was so much fun. A pre-Thanksgiving party. The Scotch swap was things from our own houses we would put in a yard sale - to be wrapped in a paper grocery sack. It was MUCH more fun that boughtn stuff.
Then a shower for a great niece. Full of charm and laughs and loveliness - a girl is coming. My own DDIL is "so done" She's due in 12 days with my very first grandchild. Her skin is luminescent. My son is going to make a great dad.
