fufumira | Part Deux

Where was I? Who am I? Oh right. I had just ruined a bunch of fabulous pictures that would have made me rich famous and the envy of everyone. Hehee. At least as far as anyone can tell from a bunch of exposed film eh?

So having nearly committing hari kari right there before realising that it would be messy and probably ruin the costumes, I carefully loaded a fresh roll of film into the chamber, hoping that I could recapture the feel and the shots I got before. I failed to do so IMO but who can know now what may have been. Finally victory seemed to be mine. I pulled back the lever on my practically antique Minolta and let fly. Once my losses were blurrily recaptured, I made my way into the next and final exhibit room. The fabled and much talked of 'Naboo Room'. Oh Naboo, Naboo why do your people dress so impractically? I mean it's pretty, but most of it could be classified as a DMD (dress of mass destruction). On display we found many of the gowns (weapons and/or instruments of female torture) that were worn by Padme Amidala Naberrie, former child/teen Queen (those dresses being remarkably and astonishingly more impractical and crazy than the ones in this room.) How is she expected to fit in this chair?

Umm anyways, the former senator of Naboo, turned lovesick pregnant idiot turned ded (hope that doesn't spoil it for you) but fabulously dressed girl had some sweet ensembles! Seriously though, what girl capable of running a planet becoming a senator and just generally kicking arse is so stupid in the first place!? He comitted genocide in Episode Two! He has only one real hand! He's bad news girlfriend! Call a hotline or something! Oh right prequel plot points and girlie hormones. *hold me Ani! Hold me like you did on Naboo!*

Back to the actual trip.

So gobs of pretties were carefully displayed on every available surface. Padme Stoopid Hormone Girl and her decoys/assistant/handmaidens/some now as ded as she had serious wardrobes. It's good to be the former queen and her servants! Well not the ded part. Unless I were a jedi coz then I'd be more powerful and glow!

So Milady Vader while having extremely poor taste in men has fantastic fashion sense. I'm so pleased with all of the outfits. From a construction viewpoint they are nearly perfect, artistically they are masterpieces. I finally was not disappointed by the costumes displayed at FIDM! I actually came away with Two full rolls of film and the happy joy joys! I also have a burning desire to dress my dog as Yoda. For more images go to my photobucket album and check it out! After the continued saga of film and no re-entry + no bathroom we managed to escape with our awe and return to the deathvan. From thence did our journey continue and tomorrow I shall continue my tale with FanFest! No more blues! And 10lb bar of river chocolate.
