nope, no derailing in the here and now, although i have derailed in blogland in order to stay on track!! this eve is opening night in dallas...ruggy is by my side, and oh by the way we were apart for FIFTY TWO FRIGGIN DAYS HASH TAG NEVERDOINGTHATAGAIN.
ahem. in the middle of the usual madness surrounding this sort of event, ruggy and i found some time to vintage shop hop. gotta get the man looking right for the par-tay tonight. as for me, i'm choosing between this silk and this bombshell. it's a big decision, 'cause i'm gonna go ahead and say it: this show is the most magical, beautiful performance i've ever been so lucky to be part of. and as y'all know, we show our love and respect in the cloth we wear. hash. tag. truth.
happy weekend to all! see you when the train slows down next week!
Break a leg! I have to admit, I have been reading your blog for ages, and when I realized you were in Fly I squeeled! I hope to be able to come see it! (P.S. Your stage manager rocks:) She is an amazing friend!)
ReplyDeleteah, i think she's our managing director now, and you are correct, she is AWESOME.
DeleteOOOOooo, so exciting!! Break a leg and all that, I wish I could come see it! And what a tough choice between those two dresses, both amazing. But the silk with the pleats, it's sooooo beautiful, I love it!
ReplyDeleteWow, looks like such a cool show!!!!! Good luck tonight!!!!!
ReplyDeleteBreak a leg!!! Wear what makes you feel best. That being said, you look amazing in the long silk .... just sayin'. ;-)
ReplyDeleteSilk! And break a leg!
ReplyDeleteGood luck tonight! I live in Dallas and am definitely going to try to make one of the shows
ReplyDeleteholler if you do!
DeleteYay, break a leg! You'll be fab, I know! Glad you and Ruggy are reunited!
ReplyDeleteZOMG! 52 days? That's cruel and unusual punishment! The longest we ever made it was three weeks. Yikes.
ReplyDeleteHave a super AWRSOME performance! (I reject superstition! ;) ) hey, apparently "awrsome" is in my autocorrect, but only in all caps. Huh.
Rock on!!!
herro autocorrect....
DeleteI vote bombshell!
ReplyDeleteI will chime in, too, with a break a leg!
ReplyDeleteHow fun to have an event to wear something beautiful. Either dress would look smashing.
ReplyDeleteI do love that silk. But they both look great. Break a leg!
ReplyDeleteI live in Dallas as well and plan to catch the show--especially now that I know that you are in it!!!! Need a first ever combo Dallas sewist meetup and fan club for Oona at a FLY performance!!
ReplyDeleteyes please! i hear some peeps might be trying for aug 17 or 18.....
DeleteSquee! Float on by, Goddess, and I hope you have a ovely reunion with the lovely Ruggy too xo
ReplyDeleteI'm SO happy that this production is making you sooooo happy. Separation from Ruggy less good, but enjoy every moment and don't worry about the blogging - we'll all be here when you come back.
ReplyDeleteBoth of those dresses are fab to the max. You can't go wrong! love love love
ReplyDeleteYou can't lose with either dress -- they're gorgeous on you! Congrats with the show! (And also on being reunited -- 52 days?! yikes.)
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness, you just made Dallas sound like a fun place to go.
ReplyDeleteNo offense to Dallas or anything, it's just not something I thought of. I hope you are performing in my area one of these days. It would be a kick to come see the show!!
Have fun!!
i'm a little surprised too :) but that's because my guy is from arkansas!
Deleteam i late for break a leg part? oh, reunions are the best thing EVER :) enjoy it.. and, you gonna look fabulous no matter what you wear, that's for sure
ReplyDeleteAt this rate you've broken so many legs, it's ridic! :-)
ReplyDeleteWear the bombshell or why not the fluffy ruffly blue number in the photo? You will be wonderful in any case.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on the opening! I just know you will be absolutely FABULOUS! I say Bombshell girl! You got the goods, now flaunt them!!
ReplyDeleteGood Luck tonight and Break a Leg!
The silk!! OMG, I swear I want that so bad. I still can't sew very well though and the top is so perfectly fitted to you that I'm assuming you did tricky things like darts or lings with cups or something like that.
ReplyDeleteMissed you, can't wait to Sept
ReplyDeleteKnock em dead Marci. I know you will and you'll look amazing doing it!
ReplyDeleteBreak a leg babe-a-rama! Congratulations! xoxo
ReplyDeleteThe silk has the drama but the bombshell has that shape.... you'll look fab either way!! Break a leg!
ReplyDeleteI want to fly to Dallas and watch you FLY. Have a great night! I vote Bombshell!
ReplyDeleteI'm late reading this post - so I'm guessing you are now recovering from the huge party that was to celebrate the opening of your show .... which I also know that of course you were AMAZING! Congratulations!
ReplyDeleteSilk. Unless there will be dancing; then the high-low hem could be a problem. Both lovely dresses.
ReplyDeleteit'a actually a straight hem, but! the handstitching in the hem tape did get snagged once or twice. must remedy that...
DeleteBreak a leg and you look marvelous in both dresses but I love the Anna Sui most!
ReplyDeleteKUDOS to you! My apologies if you are not one to read your reviews, but for your other readers who may view your comments — OONA IS AMAZING!! Cannot wait for you to come to Broadway with what sounds like an incredible show (pretty pretty please)!!
ReplyDelete"Mami Wata is an invented character. Since the Mermaid’s Lagoon in now a swamp, the show needed a Voodoo Swamp Thing to rule it. Marcy Harriell brings a huge voice to the role. Early on, she is an R&B belter but later sings with operatic clarity and a stunning soft vocal line. Her turning point duet with Wendy is a showstopper. She is also involved with two of the production’s truly magnificent coup de théâtre, which I will not spoil here except to say that the audience gets an aerial view and the swamp vanishes." (theaterjones.com)
thank you sarah! yeah, i normally don't read reviews, but ruggy actually sent me this exact blurb the day it came out :). it made me feel great!
DeleteBreak a leg, doll - I know you looked fabu in whatever you chose to wear! :)
ReplyDeleteLove,
Mugsy
Have a great night! Break a leg chicky!
ReplyDeleteBombshell, and BREAK MANY LEGS! Glad to hear you and Ruggy are reunited :) Super proud of you, Love!
ReplyDeleteOh how I wish I was in Texas to see the show! I am sure you it will be a sparkling, awe inspiring time! I agree with the above, both dresses are amazing!
