the drama majors night moves 6499 prom dress were in the basement
How did you build your character? Who is it based on?
CA: When I went to summer camp, there was this tomboy named JR who was really night moves 6499 prom dress scrappy. She borrowed a shirt from me, and I was really flattered because I thought she was really cool, and she gave it back to me covered in mud. I was really annoyed, but somehow she was the inspiration in a very weird way. I always liked the name JR—it’s so asexual. And in terms of character building, I drew from not specific people but caricatures of people, like I went to an art high school—the Fame school; I was a visual arts major, and we were segregated by major (the drama majors were in the basement, the vocal majors were on the 5th floor). My school seemed to consist of loud annoying “theatrical” people—Jennifer Aniston and Nicki Minaj graduated from my high school—who just assumed they would “succeed” by networking without actually working hard. It was gross because I hate “theatrical” types, you know what I mean? I have never seen Fame or Rent because I am pretty sure I would throw up. It was just me drawing from that kind of caricature of a girl who thinks she will get what she wants just by “networking,” without having any talent.Never mind the dresses, which were restrained, and the shoes, which were often night moves 6499 cheap out of sight or in a puddle. Over the Jubilee weekend, it was the hats that stood out, refusing to wilt in the rain or be carted off by a gust of wind.
There were no hat disasters, such as the much-mocked Philip Treacy ‘pretzel’ worn by Princess Beatrice at the Royal Wedding last year. We are definitely having a bit of a hat moment.
My favourite was the nude, beaded cocktail one with silk tulle and organza discs finished with smoked quartz and veiling worn by the Duchess of Cambridge for the service at St Paul’s on Tuesday.
It was made by 30-year-old Jane Taylor, who designs and makes all her creations — bespoke are around £600, ready-to-wear £120 — in her Fulham studio.
She trained under former milliner to the Queen, Marie O’Regan, and is inspired by ‘taxidermy, antique prints, anything dramatic and theatrical’.
As soon as the Duchess appeared in that hat, Jane was bombarded with emails and orders from around the world. ‘Kate’s hat took about eight hours to make,’ she tells me.
