Some costume pictures - in depth-analysis coming soon!

The Little Mermaid on Broadway - Ariel's fin costume by Tatiana Noginova!

Beyond my wildest dreams!

Incredible but true - I'm still somewhat amazed how well the audition went! I admit that my Belle was not what she was supposed to be (I mixed up a line and the last note sounded a bit too weak for my taste) but I'm still pretty satisfied how Part of your World finally turned out. And obviously the jury was rather pleased too :-) I'm very proud they give me the chance to embody Ariel AND Belle, each in two of four shows!!! Supposed I'm not having too many blonde days during rehearsals ^^


 This somehow removed the scales from my eyes (I should start to use underwater idioms more often from now on...):
My current body condition is okay but far from a mermaid shape, keeping in mind that Ariel shows a lot of skin onstage. So I decided to go back to my daily share of crunches, abs, sit-ups, whatever. I know that this won't be enough if I don't try to eat more healthy food. About 5 months to go!!

My very first blog entry - a mermaid's beginning!

Hurray for the very first entry to my Dingelhopper-Blog :-D Here I will keep track of my costume projects, and other stuff that I love to share!

The reason why I initially started this blog is that my musical ensemble decided that some songs from the Disney's The Little Mermaid as well as from Beauty and the Beast will be part of our next gala performance in november! 
I've been totally in love with both movies and also the musicals since I was a little girl and as a musical soprano, of course I subscribed to audition for the parts of the little mermaid Ariel and beautiful Belle. I will try to write in English (biiiig challenge with all the sewing terms I hardly know in German...) - let's see how long I will keep it up without switching to French (even worse for sewing terms) or German (mother tongue but that doesn't mean much when writing about sewing)!
