Anyway, I am a bad blog host! I think gratefully of all the lovely comments you leave me and then never actually voice my thanks which is shamefully remiss of me- so I am sorry but thank you for the loveliness you leave. It really does make my day to see another friendly comment and I hope that is reciprocated when I visit back.
Anyway, ages ago, I bemoaned to all of you about the dress I wanted to wear for my 'party' outfit for the Sound of Music- the fact I had found the perfect dress in the Sunday times magazine from Asos's salon range and it was sold out. What I shamefully didn't tell you was that it then came back into stock and I bought it. You will also remember my sharing the vintage dirndl skirt and 1920's shift night dress I bought for it.
Well, here are just a few photos of my time playing Maria Von Trapp during the Royal Wedding weekend for you to laugh at!
Here is the first moment of meeting Captain Von Trapp- here the dirndl skirt made it's first outfit- hideosly paired with high-necked black blouse bought vintage some years ago which I wear when I have to dress up as a Victorian school marm. Notice hat in hand- the outfit looked even more hideous with the hat on!
Here is the ASOS salon dress in action- so floaty. Dancing the laendler- I cannot tell you how long we had to rehearse this because I could NOT stand close to Nick, staring into his eyes under his arm in the moment we were supposed to realise we loved each other, without giggling. Mother Superior who taught us the dance got really cross with me. Somehow I managed it in performance! I look really awfully serious here! Sans makeup!
Lonely goat herd shot- the 1920's night shift made its appearance. It was soooo stiff and uncomfortable!!!!
Don't you love the curtain dresses!!!!? Saddo that I am, getting into the role, I found myself crying in between the leaving scene and this one!

Singing Edelweis.

Curtain call at the end- the relief but sadness of it being over (that's me on the right)
Lonely goat-herd- my favourite song! I was told I had a great yodel! Ooops, I can see my dress poking out underneath it- I had to wear it thus as I had a quick change for the next scene!
Looking very holy, this IS indeed my Victorian School marm outfit!

So, tell me- do you frequently lose things?
That was fabulous! Really amazing! Dancing and singing! And I found the first outfit great!
ReplyDeleteThe Asos salon dress is really beautiful!
I would also laugh if I had to look into someone's eyes pretending to love him. I totally understand you! Once I was the witch of Beauty and The Beast. The prince got angry at me when he discovered the curse. I couldn't stop screaming everytime he came with the sword to kill me! (But the director liked, it was authentic, hahaha!)
I read about your Christmas and Durham too! I want to go there! So nice!
Very nice presents too!
I of course love when I read your comments! Very much!
And what you added about the teacher, just perfect!!!!
That dress is so pretty and I love seeing the photos of your performance.
ReplyDeleteI lose things on a daily basis it drives me insane. It's normally my glasses or car keys and truth be know I occasionaly have a really big tantrum about it.
I hope you camera turns up soon!
ReplyDeleteI love your asos dress, so dreamy! I would also wear the nun's outfit (without the headwear...)
It looks like a lovely production.
Curtain dress - oh yes!

Dress is pretty. Can't say the same for the nun outfit. As to losing things, well I was always losing my younger daughter. She would escape and wander off when she was a toddler.
