life is Summerfolk
I think once I get the hat I'll end up looking like Ryan Evans. I am not sure how I feel about this.
Ryan, or...Me: So, my suspenders: Up, or hanging?
Costuming friend: ... I think we should just dress you as the Doctor.
Me: I AM NOT PLAYING THE DOCTOR
Dramaturg friend: We could just subtly change some of the lines...
Me: I intend to marry that crazy Doctor.
Costuming friend: YES
Me: I'm no youngster! I'm nine hundred years old!
They almost got a bowtie; that would have been even more Doctorish...
We tried strapping down my boobs but it was not working (though this may be because none of us know how), so now half the costume team wants to make me just androgynous if not just a girl. Which I am on board with, because I'd wanted to play him as a girl, but the directors were like "we're not changing the gender of any characters because that sends a message we're not really looking to send" at the start of this. And my costuming friend wants me as a girl just because she thinks me and the girl playing my character's girlfriend are the cutest couple. :|;;; She kind of has a point there, because Zimin/Sonya is the most stable couple in the show, and we have gotten a lot of "that was really cute!" comments after our scene.
