Metro Opera House, Elise and Therese, 2012
Last night, my new all-women’s choir, COV, performed at the
Metro Opera House in Oakland. All of us
wore a costume related to Alice in
Wonderland. The sopranos were the
“spades” and my choir director, Joyce McBride, let some of us come dressed as a
special character. My costume made out
of satin for Halloween was perfect for the Red Queen. I researched it and found that she wears
blue eye shadow and a red heart on her lips.
So, when I was putting on makeup, I looked for some red lipstick, but I
didn’t have any so I used Crimson nail
polish instead. Since I didn’t have red
hair, I whipped up the hat, using one of my furry winter hats and leftover
fabric scraps from making my dress. My
husband, dressed as a pirate in the costume I made for him, took these pictures
of my new friends and me. The lights
gave them a strange glow!
