This was such a wonderful process! Truly blessed to work with such an incredibly collaborative team!
I'm so grateful for all the hard work that went into making all my costume dreams come true on this project! Two gorgeous builds, two actual vintage (!) 1930s dresses, ten thousand suits (...ok technically only like five but with all the ones we tried, it FELT like ten thousand!), and so many opportunities for fun accessories!! ❤️
I really want to be snarky and all "who has a beach wedding in November?!" about this, but I am SO filled with love and joy that I have no room for snark! Everything was so beautiful and I'm so happy for Bec and Gino! I'm literally tearing up just typing this! ❤️❤️❤️
Thursday was the 10 year anniversary of my mom's death. Which is a really long time and sometimes feels like a really long time but also sometimes doesn't feel that long? So I dunno. I'm sad and I really miss her, but here are some photos that make me smile. My mom was really silly and loved to laugh and make stupid jokes. And she LOVED taking pictures with random shit on her head!
Costumed my first dance show and my first show of grad school!

I had to say goodbye to Harry today. He was the most cuddly, perfect kitty and he was my best friend in the entire world. I don't know what I'm going to do without him.
But he was 18 and he lived a long and happy life. My mom found him in the backyard when he was a kitten and I'm so grateful that he came into my life and for every single second I got to spend with him.
Went on an end of summer upstate adventure! There may have been some ill-advised waterfall chasing, (note the reintroduction of a cane 😬) but it was completely worth it!
My mom died 9 years ago today. Which is... kind of a weird number, but it's hitting me hard. It's just a lot to think that next year will be 10 years. It's a big chunk of my life that I've now lived without her.
Idk. I just miss her. And I'm sad.
BUT the hair and sunglasses combo she has going on in this picture is incredible. Frankly I'm a little sad that those sunglasses aren't still around too.
Last week I got to make some weird sad art with @mdeins and perform it in front of people! So incredibly grateful to be a part of this @s.arai__@performance.space.new.york ❤️❤️❤️
