Lady GaGa's Hairy Monster
Ok, this may seem weird, but for whatever reason, Lady GaGa's blonde, I'll call it "Hairy Monster" costume instantly reminded me of this creature. I haven't thought of this thing in years!

Lady GaGa
Went to Lady GaGa last Tuesday, she was fantastic of course. I took my daughter (14) and her friend as her birthday present and they loved it, totally worth the dosh
The set and costume changes were, as expected, incredibly elaborate. I totally appreciate the artistry and the concept of us all on this journey to find the "Monster Ball" but I'm not sure if the complexity of the sets and wardrobe were worth it in the end..... Because both elements were so "heavy" they essentially stopped the show about 3 or 4 times for set and costume changes. The curtain would come down which was also a large screen that had projections of her posing, etc. canned music would come on and you would wait like 3min. each time. Not a big deal really, and it was all totally amazing, but I think she could be amazing with less "stuff" and no drop in momentum. And to be totally honest, where we were sitting stage left, quite a few of the larger props and set pieces actually interfered with sight lines. Oh well, if you've seen one bleeding statue, you've seen them all, right?
Here are some photos of our exciting evening with the Queen of Freak. I am in the pink wig, my daughter is in the red and her friend is in her lovely natural look.
Also a couple pics of the amazing people who got into full regalia....I love it!

It's been awhile....
Yes, my bad, its been forever since I've posted, but its been a busy summer full of great stuff. New jobs, house reno's, festivals (too many to keep up with!) and great weather!
I'm posting a few photos of the jousting match at the Renaissance Festival out in Langley. It goes on every summer and is a nice day trip. The jousting definitely is the highlight for me, but there is also an on-going story line that is acted out throughout the weekend by Renaissance garbed actors. Pretty fun, pretty grass roots, low budget. There are also some fun games, aimed mostly at kids, but personally, there is no greater satisfaction than "shooting the nobles of the little castle" target game played with plastic guns loaded with little plungers...juvenile, I know, but there it is.
I'm so loving the jousting armour, the one gal made hers completely out of recycled material. I believe there was a kitchen sink involved. Seriously. Some great innovation.
