(First, I need to note that my 14-year-old sister does not know what band Mick Jagger is in. Clearly I have been failing in my attempt to influence her to listen to music made by people who do not use Auto-Tune.)
I've got one-and-a-half more seams to sew on the bodice - I can finish them tonight no problem if I don't get distracted by the guitar. And LiveJournal. Plus my fingers needed a little break from sewing...it's only silk taffeta, but it's tightly woven, and the layers of that, the layer of shantung for the zone, and the lining do add up! (Or I've got wimpy fingers, suddenly.)
Edit: Ahh, I can't believe I forgot to order the wig for our Old City tour for, um, next Sunday, until now. Derp derp. Well, it's ordered now, and will hopefully get here in time! My own hair is really just not sufficient for proper Big 1780s Hair.

Date: 2010-07-19 03:41 am (UTC)I just watched Backbeat again for the first time in like 12 years. I highly recommend it (though I'll warn you there's a ton of nudity in it) - the actor who plays Hamburg John is so real. I looked him up on IMDB, he actually played Professor Quirrell in the first Harry Potter movie! But damn, he was perfect as John Lennon - and his Liverpool accent is real! Also the person they cast as Paul looks just like him too. George not so much, but his George accent is dead on. :-)
Glad you're enjoying guitar! :-)
