Show #1..CHECK!!

I'm so sorry, it has been forever since I last posted here. Let's see, the last I posted was Jimmy had his radar on me and blah blah blah....Oh yeah! Ok so dress rehearsal went relatively smoothly, but it was long. All the dancers had to be there at 3:15pm and we finally got done at about 10:30pm. The worst part about it was Jimmy band us from eating in the theater and in our costumes...so we didn't get a bite of food from start to end of dress! That was one big issue, one of the others was the snow. One of my parts is snow queen so during the whole snow waltz Jimmy wanted snow falling on the front of the stage. And when I say snow I'm talking little pieces of floating plastic that cause death if you step on it. So I spent the whole 1st half of dress and the 1st show trying to avoid this deathly snow. The show itself went pretty well, much better then the rest of us thought it was going to go. Here are some pics of dress rehearsal!
Snow Queen, lovingly made by Mommy
This was before dress started. Mommy wanted a good picture of me in both my costumes. Now I just need one in Dew Drop.

Snow Queen and Soldier doll
This was probably 3hrs into the 6+hr rehearsal
Yes, this is normal!
After I was done with Snow Queen I had Dani release me from my tutu, which has 10 sets of hook and eyes on it, so I could air out. You wouldn't think that they'd be that hot but they are. I just stood in the middle of the dressing room with my back open and about half the spanish girls fanning my back and face. Thankz girls, you kept me alive. And then I had to go put on another tutu that was equally as hot. Oh the things we dancers do to look beautiful!!
