mannequin work

today i spent six hours on a set that was supposed to be the shanghai airport. the chinese policemen costumes were very convincing and it was quite funny to see the production wardrobe people come over to adjust their hats and tell them to pull up their pants.

i also liked the lead wardrobe woman who threw an adorable double-foot-stomp tantrum because the hair people "are ruining my outfit!!!" she and her co-wardrobe lady fussed over how to tie the scarf, following different styles demonstrated in a book in origami-step-by-step. they mused that they should practice tying these one night over white wine.

all day i had to stand in the most uncomfortable shoes of all time, red pointy-toed horrors. by the end of the day i was limping across every scene and looked like a very weary irritable airport traveler indeed
