1. If you could only ever watch one costume movie again what would it be?
Hmm, that's a hard one!! There are so many that I love! And I think if I only had one to watch I'd get pretty sick of it quite quickly! But I'd have to say Pride and Prejudice, the 1995 one (HATE the Keira Knightly one!) It was my first love as far as costume movies go :)

2. Favorite thing about Christmas?
The planning! I love getting presents, or making them, and then wrapping them and decorating the tree and planning the Christmas dinner and making mince pies, all the things you do in the build up. Christmas day itself always seems like a bit of a let down, after the presents are open and dinner eaten, what's left?!

3. What costume are you most proud of?
Hmm, tricky! I bet the costume I LIKE the most might not necessarily be the one I'm proudest of! Um, probably my big pink 1860s ball gown, all those frills! So much hemming!!!

4. Besides sewing, what other hobbies do you enjoy?
My trouble always is that nearly all of my hobbies involve sewing! I have several BJDs that I make clothes for, they always wear modern dress so I don't post photos of them here very often, and I like to make clothes for myself, but I'm always so busy sewing costumes for dance demos or dress-up holidays that when I finally have everything done the last thing I want to do is more sewing!! I do love to bake though, I suppose that's a hobby :)

5. When will we see you on this side of the pond again? ;)
This makes me sad :( I was so certain I'd make it to costume college this year, but we still haven't sold the old house, so it looks like I won't make it, again :'( But, next year maybe? I miss all my costuming buddies so much!

Number five makes me sad!

However, if Costume College isn't a possibility, you might want to look into Under the Redcoat. I'm going again, and I know Jenny-Rose, Aubry and Sara have all expressed interest in going. You could go for not much more than airfare, and something on the East coast is going to be less than LA. After that it's just an insanely inexpensive hotel room to share ($59 a night!) and food. It's usually the last weekend in June, although the dates haven't been posted yet. I don't know if it would work for you, but if it can, it's a really fun alternative to Costume College!

I'd forgotten about UTR, I really wanted to go when you told us about it last year, but thought I couldn't manage both, especially as CosCol is so far away, but now you've made me think!! I have to check work, and I'd probably have to miss a dance demo, but I think it might be a possibility! And there's the added bonus that I don't have to decide NOW if I will be able to afford it, that was the big problem with CosCol, I have to decide now if I can afford the membership etc and the massive plain fare, this coast is much better for me money wise!
Thank you Katherine, I think you've made my day!

Yay! I'm happy to have helped :)

And you can decide last minute. There are no entry fees. With a 4 day hotel stay, you get free admission--unless they stop that promotion, but even without it, there's tons to do!

I have no idea who's definitely coming, but when I reserve my hotel room I'm going to reserve it for four people, just in case :)

Because we have to have big costume events! They're too much fun not to do as often as possible.

[girliegirl32786.livejournal.com]

I'm definitely coming (barring something horrible happening!) so count me in! It's too close and sounds like way too much fun not to. ;)

[koshka-the-cat.livejournal.com]

Yay! It's so much fun. I'm excited for it already. Why yes, I do get excited about costume events months--or even years--in advance :)

[mlsdesigns.livejournal.com]

It does sound like so much fun doesn't it?!

When I finally gave up hoping I'd get to CosCol i felt relieved, but sad, now you've reminded me about this, I feel relieved and HAPPY!! Now to plan the wardrobe, just in case fate smiles upon me ;)

[girliegirl32786.livejournal.com]

Yes come! ;) I'm no help, am I?

[mlsdesigns.livejournal.com]

Lots of help, we all need enablers!

I feel the exact say way about Christmas. It's never quite what I planned for.

[mlsdesigns.livejournal.com]

It isn't is it? I always feel it's a little bit of a let down in the end :) But I love the planning so much I don't care :D
