PICTURES FINALLY!
here's a clue to this entry:
no i do not have a boyfriend.
(oh if i stopped there, wouldn't i be in a pickle.)
yes it is a pillow.
and yes this is for a drama. a christmas drama to be precise.
and this is my big brother ryan
he plays joseph to my character mary.for my sanity and maybe yours too, i have organised these pictures in installments. kudos for all the pictures goes to joanna. p/s: not only did she also designed the costumes, she did sewing and such. thanks jo! your momma would be proud. (:
installment 1: make-up, pre-production
the rule for makeup was to make the fair people darker, and the darker people fairer; to match ryan and my skin tone.if it wasn't for the makeup, my mom and dad would be white.
joseph's dad would be black. and my aunt would be black too. (:
joseph's dad would be black. and my aunt would be black too. (:
spared from the makeup routine is the guy in the shiny sequined costume; he plays Gabriel, the angel who visits mary. and there's mary's mom, looking somewhat related to "Gabriel" in the middle of the darkening session.installment 2: sheep chaos
the kids decided to go on a sheep strike; they refused to wear the masks, and eventually hid all the masks somewhere. till this day, we don't know what happened to those masks...
installment 3: in progress, the production "A Virgin's Story", directed by Katherine Faseghas, held at Calgary Full Gospel Church on 16th December 2007.
"my soul glorifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour..." believe you me, i had a terribly hard time trying to remember all the lyrics.
my dear parents here made the audiences cry too.
p/s: it is hard to flirt with your own brother. it is one other moment in life i wish to never repeat.
"do you think we would be able to find a place to stay tonight joseph?""well mary, who knew that bethlehem would be full tonight?"
"don't you have a place here? i thought you grew up in bethlehem?"
"i sold my property a long time ago, and moved out."
oh yes, we ad-libbed. (:
the sheep crawled (well, they don't actually crawl... but our sheep do!) down the aisle.
and up to the stage.
"who are you and where have you come from", says joseph.and the three kings burst out into song. haha.
installment 4: closing credits
merry christmas.installment 5: backstage madness and post production craziness
joseph and mary's pops.
ms. tayo (aunt elizabeth) and me.
tamara the flautist, and me.
it was a week from christmas, and someone had to be jolly ol' santa!
the white-bearded lisa and i found GOLD!
"it's not plastic! it's chocolate! how old is it?"
"i don't know, but i know we used it in our production last year."
"okaaaay." val puts fake-gold/old-old-OLD-chocolate coin down.
the cast.
ho ho ho. merry christmas. happy new year. happy birthday. and good night.(warning: pictures from the ski trip in the next post!)
