molting strip (what an ecydsiast, har har!)
So for my act, I was inspired by a bolt of fabric at Joann's (and by Rachel's kick ass suggestion). This fabric was kelly green, with a shiny, lamé-like reptilian scaly print. And it was stretchy.
costume In order of appearance: a bodysuit engineered to come off in pieces (sleeves, bodysuit, leggings) when I peel or "molt" them off. Green press on nails/perhaps some kind of elbow length glove situation, with claws at the end. Lizardy bikini, with a tail attached to the back of the bottom. A large lizard head, perhaps. I'm open to suggestions as for the neck-up portion of the costume. Ideally, I envision a large lizard head with eyes that can move independently of each other. This seems incredibly difficult, but definitely worth the effort. Maybe Cait could have some inside info on building headdresses from her experiences at nana projects. Oh! Maybe I can put my hair in a mohawk and paint my face green. Endless possibilities.
props a large rock to lounge on, and a large, proportional heating lamp. The rock could be maybe a large bean bag that I could stuff with some more batting to make it a little firmer, also recover in felt or something cheap and grey to make it rock like. As for the heat lamp, maybe use a large floor lamp or make a ridiculous looking one w/ paper mache. Man, we need an intern.
Still need to find appropriate music.

Burlesque photos
Flickr burlesque group: you need to be signed in to view it, but THOUSANDS upon thousands of burlesque photos.
Don Spiro: Don Spiro does a feature on Candy Pitch and does a lot of burlesque photography I guess. Awesome.

Another SVA meeting...
Hi. There's another SVA meeting that we're required to send one representative to on Wednesday, October 7, 2009 - 2:30-4 p.m., Main 110. Karol also put this note in her e-mail: "I noticed that at our last meeting a few students left early or came very late; this is not acceptable. Your organization attendance will not be counted if you leave/arrive halfway through the meeting" so...if you do want to leave halfway, be discreet and don't let Karol catch you.
Who can do it?

2. We would LOVE to do a Galhaus calendar fundraiser in collaboration with MICArotica later in the year. Perhaps as a spring semester fundraiser after The Big Show.
3. We may have a large spread in the second issue of MICArotica with character profiles to promote The Big Show.
