I was going to take the easy solution to costumery and go as a nurse (Nurse Jones, in fact, although no one there would have known that).I was going to take the easy solution to costumery and go as a nurse (Nurse Jones, in fact, although no one there would have known that). Jay had other plans. He wanted me to go as a TV character (that's TELEVISION, Wyzyrd). Elvira, Queen of the Night. You MUST have seen her. She's wonderful. Not exactly Oscar material, but she has a good attitude. I had the wig, if not the hair. MAJOR DIVERSION! The DRESS! I never told you about the DRESS! Jay got it made for me with measurements taken with my corset on. The very week I was back from S.F. He got this seamstress to come by the house and measure me WITH THE CORSET ON! This was big time weirdness for me. In my own house. I mean she was 60 if she was a day, and clearly didn't think much of anyone who would wear a corset. She asked me if I was wearing a foundation garment. Yes. I will be wearing it with the dress, too. She sighs as though she just doesn't know what the world is coming to. |
