I is talented...maybe. Cuz I can draw and stuff like that....

I am completely in awe of this new spare tire thingy that's attached itself to me.
WHAT THE FUCK?
Mr.Man had the BALLS to suggest that it's from my alcohol consumption.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT?
Sooo....if that's the case I guess I'm going to have to give something up to get rid of this roll of fatty flesh that's wrapped itself around me in a death grip of "HA!HA! YOU CAN'T BUTTON THAT SHIRT ANYMORE" torture.

I will simply just have to stop eating.
From now on, the Blonde Goddess will live on liquids.
That should fix things...


"The Blonde Goddess breakfast of champions!"

Last week during the internet drought, I spent my time working on Little Beatle's play.
Of course we had been working on it for several weeks prior as well. With only Mr.Man and I and two other people doing the majority of the work, it took a long time. But in the end I think it was worth it. The play was good and the kids did a good job.

In addition to the prop making work, I also got suckered into helping with the kids during the play.
Those little bastards are hellions!
When you tell them to be quiet, they actually increase their volume.
I finally had to resort to spraying them with Febreeze every time they spoke.
This one dopey-assed kid was literally soaked by the end of the first play and smelled like Febreeze the rest of the week.
Why spray them with Febreeze you ask?
It's illegal to beat, restrain or cage the little beasts.
The Febreeze kept me out of jail and it worked.

Here's a few pictures of our hard work....


This is the book we made. It opens to reveal a scrim covered panel that the boy who played the beast could transform through, like a shadow,instead of in person. The effect was entirely awesome!


This is the village scene. We sketched and then painted on the material.


This is one of the four barren trees we made out of foam board for the winter scene.


This is Maurice's wood chopping machine,made out of an old cart and some foam board.


This is the cottage. It's made from foam board. It's reversible to show the outside and inside scenes.


This is the castle scene. It's unfinished here.I was still working on the bookcase and Mr.Man was still working on the other wall of the castle, but you get the idea.


Little Beatle played Chip, which meant I had to make something for him to wear. So using an upside down lampshade and some other materials, I made him a teacup to wear on his head or to place on the tea cart for him to pop up through....


By the last night of the play (5 performances) the teacup was looking a little rough...


"There's something fishy going on here"
Mr.Man made fish for the fishmonger out of foam board. Actually there were a lot of things made out of foam board but the fish is the only thing I got a picture of.

At the end of the week, I was pooped.


"The Blonde Goddess forgets which end the pantyhose goes on due to exhaustion."

Now if you'll excuse me, I need to go...

BWAHAHAHA!
