Whoo! I just got back from the set strike and cast party. In my opinion, this last performance was the best one, at least where I was concerned. I felt so in character! And my makeup just rocked. I took about 6 of those makeup swaps and four different colors, then I went to work essentially CGing my face to get stronger cheekbones, cheek hollows, dark eye circles, and a generally more stern expression. Then I went in with brown and white pencil and gave myself age lines. It looked awesome. Then of course, I got my silver hair again, which was annoying because I couldn’t find a proper hair elastic and it fell out. I got my hands covered in silver trying to get it back up, then Casey Pedersen had to re-spray it. Meh. The only negative note to the evening was during my evil religious rant of doom. I completely messed up a line (though it sounded fine to the ignorant audience), and my mind went blissfully blank. I sacrifice small furry animals to Jen Pace, who covered it absolutely perfectly. ::hugs Jen so tightly she bursts:: She just said her next line (which sounded like it could fit), and I was able to pick up from there. Yay! So it was all good. A highly amusing point was when Lombard is supposed to slap Vera, and he accidentally missed. There was this tiny whap sound, followed by much audience laughter (the audience was perfect. Italian smooches to the audience!). I, who was supposed to be dead and unmoving, found it hard to not laugh. I’m rather proud that I didn’t move. Go me!
Other activities today include the Harry Potter movie and Chili’s. They will be in an entry later tonight, as I want to get out of all my makeup and wash that silver out of my hair. Tra la la. It’s over! ::is overjoyed and depressed at the same time::
