Long day today

Recording session #2 with the Menschen, 10am-2:30pm. T from Porter to Harvard, bus to Family Opera rehearsal, 3:30-6:45pm. Oy.

But we got through recording 2 more songs, and rehearsal is the first in the performance space. So those are good things, however tired I am getting.

One of the dads in the cast was watching me play with the Treo during announcements, and suddenly asked me, "Hey, have you ever been a hand model?" Which ranks high on the list of remarks guaranteed to warm my girlish heart. ;-) I told him my hands are too big for modeling: jewelry, for instance, wants to be displayed on the tiniest hands possible, to make it look bigger (I learned this from jessruth)! But it was still nice.

I have more little updates I keep meaning to add, but only so much I intend to try to do on the Treo. Maybe tonight.

One explanation I've heard for why the fashion industry (at least over the last 20 or so years) prefers bone-thin models is that their tiny frames make the clothes they wear stand out more. Anyone know if this is true?

[...]is that their tiny frames make the clothes they wear stand out more. Anyone know if this is true?

Almost. It's because it's easier to make clothing drape properly on a person with few/no curves. It's not that it stands out more, as much as someone who is stick-thin makes a "better hanger".

awwww....

Awesome voice too... she's doing a great job as one of the Worker Queens... wish we'd been scheduled in the same cast. :-)

Aw, shucks. :-} But this way I can come watch you guys!

Can you post details about the opera so I can get tickets? I'm sure I could google for it, but I'm way too lazy right now :)

Oh yeah! I will make a separate post shortly, but here's the link:

Tickets: http://www.brownpapertickets.com/event/3376

I am soloing in performances 2 and 7, so: Saturday evening April 1, 7pm, and Sunday afternoon April 9, 2pm.

Phooey -- I thought you were on Sunday evening. Not sure I'm going to be able to make it to either of those :( Are you in other performances without the solo? (ie if I can't make those, is it still worth going?)

[chanaleh.livejournal.com]

Meh! Well, I am *in* two other performances as a chorister, one of which is a Sunday evening: #4 (Sunday 4/2, 6pm) and #5 (Saturday afternoon 4/8). The Sandberg girls are soloing in the same ones as I am, so it'd be a shame to miss ours, but if you can't make them, it's worth going to another, sure.

And any one that I'm not in at all, the persis clan is in, so... hey, maybe we can go together.
