forgetful prop master (119/365e)

went out to buy disco lights from willhaben for the video shoot this weekend to replace the ones that broke. when i talked to klaus he had also bought some. that means we will have PLENTY. i also bought some clothes from carla and humana for costuming purposes. 

mary arrived from slovenia with agnes. barbara picked her up from maribor. it was a long day of travelling for them, and they were pretty tired, but we were all so excited to see each other after such a long time. we started costuming mary, trying on clothes only to realize that tomorrow is a holiday and there will be no shopping. nina saved the day, by inviting us for an evening of drinks and lending us some perfectly disco-colored pants that fit terrifically. 

we are looking forward to an early morning of filming, so it might not have been so smart to stay up late. but while we were drinking i suddenly remembered i was in charge of another prop - a bell that was supposed to smash. mary pointed out that she thought the original ding - a - dong eurovision tape from 1975 used a big christmas ornament filled with glitter, so we spent lots of time trying to recreate one. we ended up making our own shiny glitter confetti out of wrapping paper and stuffing it into christmas ornaments, and then making little bell-skirts. it was more fun than it sounds.
