Being in costumes I am than in charge of dressing all those in the musical, we are doing Little Woman so this is in the Civil War time period, so I did research as to what kind of costumes to look for; to make; to take in or adjust. So now I know the time period fairly well... for those of you who don't know it really well, it’s not medieval or colonial or Victorian, [though it does share some similarities with Victorian it still is a different ball game]
Well my director The Bekanator, does not know time period... or really how to sew... or the impossibilities of sewing like if you’re a crappy seamstress [like myself] you really can’t make up a pattern on the fly, and you really can’t make 7 jackets in under a month... yeah so I had to enlighten her on the matter which made me seem worse than I actually am...
The Bekanator also does not respect me... I haven't the faintest why, I have always been nice to her and respectful... but you know whateverrr
But it just so happens that now she respects me... and it is through being the costume Nazi that it happened:
you see I would find costumes and get them approved and then work on them... pretty soon I had almost the entire cast costumed and all I needed were like 5 costumes [yet for almost being dons with works]
and it was hard to get to this point cut the director The Bekanator didn't approve anything that was time period... and infect told me that she wanted a dress to be more Victorian..... 0.0 WHAAAAAAAT????? To the costume Nazi this was most perplexing and hugely annoying...
well one day when most of the work was done, two ladies whom were supposed to be helping me from the beginning [who had only really been there once or twice before] came complaining of all the work they had done... yeeeeahh and than The Bekanator threw me under the bus criticizing all of the costumes I the costume Nazi had created/got ready, which annoyed me greatly... to the point where I actually got mad... I have not been mad in 6 years till this point...
and just as I had not been mad in 6 years I have never woken up annoyed or upset at someone... well I did and The Bekanator is whom the annoyance was targeted at... so I confronted her, in a polite and mature way... she rolled her eyes at me.... really, would you like to feel the wrath of the Costume Nazi???? ROAR
but I didn't I refrained myself... but later when I was in the costume shop and she came in the shop with me I was rude... like so rude... like oh my goodness I had never in my entire life talked to an adult that way...like of my flippin gosh I can’t believe I’m talking to an adult this way. Rude, which I am not exactly proud of.
but after than point of rudeness, The Bekanator respected me... which makes no sense... and in my time of rudeness I told her that the costume she wanted me to use was the wrong time era when she argued I told her to look it up and if she could present evidence of it being the right time period than I would use it... she than actually did some looking up on the inter-webs and didn't question me, though she still prefers the non-time period stuff better cuz she didn’t really look much up...
And that is how I started getting respected form the Bekanator, which is strange... I suppose that it would happen to me this way cuz I am that awkward....
And now the Costume Nazi is well pleased with the costumes that have been done yay
