The costume is layered. The princess dress is tailored perfectly and is a normal costume with zippers and seams. The travel dress is cut slightly larger to fit over her dress and is probably held together by strong magnets. She walks to her mark on stage where they have either someone reaching through a trapdoor to pull it off, or most likely judging by the speed of the removal, a cable rig in a trapdoor that the dress is quickly attached to that pulls it off. It releases at strategic points where the dress is held together by magnets to give the best reveal and the most fluid movement. You cant see any of this because they cover the bottom half of the stage with mist. Boom. Stage magic!

The only flaw is that no matter how hard you try to alter the cover dress, it will always look slightly bulky and too stuffed on the actress because it’s altered to her shape with the dress over it, not her actual shape.

I once went to a production of Aladdin where Jaffar’s three wishes meant four different costumes on top of each other (regular, sultan, sorcerer, genie). The ripaway location was the throne. The fact that his hat changed each time too, feather included, really stood out.

One time I was cooking with a girl and we were both bilingual but we didn’t have a language in common so we were just sitting by the fire doing prep work quietly and I was peeling little garlic cloves to mince and she put her hand on my arm to stop me and demonstrated how you’re supposed to press on the clove with the flat side of your knife to break the shell off all at once to peel it and I was like oh! And I imitated her and she nodded in approval and we went back to quietly peeling and mincing the garlic and I don’t want to be hyperbolic but in that moment I was like wow I truly understand the universal thread of human love and connection inherent in our souls or whatever

I’ve seen a lot of lists of black owned makeup/skincare/haircare/clothes but none of those are things I buy on a regular basis, so… I went to search for some black owned shops that fit my specific interests and I thought I’d share what I found. 

Dope Coffee - black owned coffee sellers

Brooklyn Tea - black owned tea sellers

Natty Garden - black owned nursery with an online shop

Maya’s Cookies - black owned vegan bakery

Trade Street Jam Co. - black owned jams and baking mixes

Me 3 years ago, trying to learn how to knit socks: This pattern looks good, but I don’t have the right size needles! I guess I’ll have to go buy them :(

Me now, laughing uproariously at any pattern that insists I need a certain size: YOU WILL BOW TO MY WILL AND MY 2.25MM NEEDLES.

Yes. Reading excessively as a child for a lot of us was a form of escapism. But part of the reason so many of us struggle to read now is because we based our entire taste in reading on what helped us escape, but as we get older and our needs changed, a lot of us never adapted our reading tastes. So we keep trying to read YA fiction and it just doesn’t hit the way it used to and we assume it’s because we can’t read like we used to, but the reality is that we need a new genre of liturature to suit our new life experiences and mature taste.

Deadass

[chromatographic]

The social cheat I’ve learned for this is to say:

“I have to check my calendar, why, what’s Friday?”

This says “Maybe” without saying “Maybe”, and giving you the option to make up a Doctor’s Appointment You Forgot About (or reschedule one you didn’t!) depending on what they say.

It’s an amazingly powerful sentence for my Autistic and ADHD ass - it gives me the ability to judge my social spoons, as well as communicating that “hey, I might have forgotten something, it’s not you it’s me” in a very non-offensive way.

“I have to check my calendar, why?”

“are you busy Friday?” That entirely depends on the rest of the information you’re about to give me]

the best thing to happen in the last decade was the word ‘yeet’ which is extremely valuable. the worst thing was all the other things that happened.

Target is where you go when you’re gonna try to restructure your entire life with 100 bucks, and you’re counting on a shoe rack, thumbtacks, a whiteboard, and new stationary to do it.

Everyone in here is looking for forgiveness and they’re trying to find it in a tasteful desk lamp and minimalist day planner
