Well it's our last week here before production splinters off to LA, U S of A. Full packing mode. 15 cases and counting, paperwork and inventories galore. Head protection required.

Who knew working out of a truck could be so glamorous? Wherever you are working today, we wish you a happy Friday! #tgif @miss_nati @cdglocal892

We’re leaving @thelarahall’s original caption because we agree wholeheartedly! #wcw #equalpayforequalwork

Working with costumes in Hollywood has a common misconception of being glamorous.
I, along with one assistant, spent 3 days outside in 90 degree heat, taking inventory and packing 23 crates of costumes weighing 150-200 pounds per crate, for our location shoot.
Our team has been researching, fabric swatching, shopping, renting, and doing fittings for 3 months now and this is only our FIRST round of shipments. AND, these are just the costumes for the extras to be used for a single major scene.
The wage gap between the costume department and the rest of the film crew departments displays how misunderstood, under valued, and gender biased our labor is, since a majority of costume departments are female driven. PAY EQUITY IS NON-NEGOTIABLE.

Another gem from @vaaahlerie, a behind the scenes look at 705 Costumer @arielgoodwoman dressing @seanakofoed in her Queen Elizabeth costume on @lifetimetv's American Princess. This is a great demonstration of the elaborate underpinnings used in Elizabethan Dress. #somuchfabric #tgif .

At the start of a new season, we get to the delightful task of unpacking all the costumes everyone worked so hard to box up during wrap. These costumes are coming out of hibernation for a new season 3 of @OnMyBlock on @netflix photo credit @thereelzelda .

Photos are funny. This one of me is gorgeous, (I’m that teeny person in the bottom right) but here’s the real story behind it.
____________________
Craig had finished his instagram documentary road trip from Chicago to San Francisco (where this photo was taken) It was one of the most memorable experiences he’d had, but for me, it was hard and frustrating. The whole ordeal was isolating and overwhelming for me; I sacrificed a lot for it to go smoothly for him.
____________________
He surprised me with a ticket to meet him at the end of the trip and arranged a sitter to stay with the kids. We spent a couple days in Napa, then we surprised my sister for her birthday in Tahoe (hey, @ruthiehudalla remember that?!) but we spent the last day in SF before we flew home on a red eye.
____________________
On the way down from Tahoe, Craig realized he’d booked the wrong ticket and he had to buy an expensive one on my flight at the last minute and, spoiler alert, I wasn’t happy about it. Craig hadn’t slept much during his road trip and was exhausted. I felt resentful that I was pushed to the side to make the documentary happen. It wasn’t the perfect mix.
____________________
I didn’t like SF, it was cold and windy and I didn’t feel like a row of colorful houses and switchback street were worth a day of vacation. I loved the warm sunshine of Napa and wished I could go back. We met some people for yet ANOTHER photo meetup and as usual, I was elected model. And this photo was snapped. The result was gorgeous, the lead up to it, not so much.
____________________
I guess the moral of the story is, instagram is an awesome place to view art, but keep in mind it’s what the artist wants you to see. Don’t get jealous. Know that sometimes, there was a lot of garbage just outside of the frame.

Also, here’s to another two show day roller coaster!
