Great picture of Uni with the hat! Beautiful work on the hat!

I wish I lived closer to you -- I would beg you to teach me to sew properly. You are so talented.

BTW, I was looking through really old picture threads and I came across one with your pictures of Uni pretending to sleep in your extra large purses. You wrote that she does this hoping you will take her wherever you go. Great pictures -- she really is beautiful and such a character.

What an awesome hat! And Uni wears it well...you should make her a small size version so she can be a Mad Hatter fanatic like Mommy.

Excellent work, really.

I love your hat! How ever did you find the materials to replicate it? I know it's not at the local fabric store. You must special order them. Right? Do you work on movies? I can't remember? But you should!!! So much talent!!! Go girl!

[capt_noonie]

Thanks everyone! My ultimate goal is to work in movies. Anyone out there hear me? Hire me! LOL I'm working on a full size one for the guys now. People on ebay are asking me.

The materials... the millinery stuff I order online, or if I"m in LA there is a supply store there. The fabrics, I use upholstery fabrics, thicker and looks "richer", I don't use apparel fabrics, they tend to look cheapy-er.

[Sharly4]

You're work is amazing! If I knew anyone I would so recommend you! How would you break into the business anyways? Or is it just so jam packed you can't get in? Like the movie to actor ratio?

[capt_noonie]

If you know someone it's really not that hard. I worked on a Mercedes commercial before, and my friend from school was hired by the main wardrobe/stylist. They needed another person and she just called me and the next three days I had a job. I lost contact with her, but she is more of a stylist, and I want to do actual costume design, not just shopping and dressing people.

Anyway, I"m having fun with what I'm doing now. I do the stuff I like, and don't do the stuff I don't.

Agreed

Wow, that hat is FABULOUS and what a great model.

[capt_noonie]

Thank you! Uni says thank you too!

As for the Pirates movies... I loved part 1, 2 was great for the scenery (cannibal island, isla cruces) but I did NOT like part 3. My lil bro and I got in a big debate about how when movie trilogies come out, and part 2 and 3 are in the works, part 2 is always the sorrier one bc it's supposed to be a cliff hanger to go into part 3 (like the Matrix trilogy). However, I thought part 3 was soooo horrible, I liked 2 much better. I loved Bill Nighy as Davy Jones, he's great!

[Sharly4]

You're so right! But I loved all three! Ohhhh, Johnny take me away! I liked the part where he lost his brain! Too funny!

[TwoforFun]

I don't think part 3 was bad I just think the other two outranked it by a s*** load.
Mentioning Alice in Wonderland made me remember Charlie and the Chocolate Factory.

[capt_noonie]

Don't get me wrong, I still watched 2 and 3 at the midnight showing! P3 I literally watched 3 times at the theaters bc I did not understand what the heck they were doing! But as far as box office $$$, yes 2 and 3 made Disney lots more money than part 1. Part 1 was a surprise hit. Truth be told, I didn't even see part one til it was out on DVD!

I LOVE Charlie and the Chocolate Factory! The cocoa beans! LOL

If you guys want to see Johnny and Tim at their indie best, it was "Ed Wood" one of my FAVE movies EVER! It was made in 1995 (?) awesome and hilarious movie. Lots of scenes are shot in downtown LA and Hollywood. I've been where they've been. *sigh* I've been thinking of doing a cosplay of Johnny as Ed Wood, as himself in drag, but since I am a girl, I would be dressed up as a guy, dressed up as a girl, but with a goatee. My lil bro said no one would get it, except for me. I think he's right. It would be so funny if more people would get it.

I had a hard time with Charlie and the Chocolate Factory because I love Gene Wilder so much in the original. Also, it is my least favorite example of Burton's work (his film, right?). I liked the addition of the scenes with Wonka's father, but I wasn't blown away by anything involving the factory. The Oompa Loompa left me cold too.

I recently watched Ed Wood again and laughed myself silly. First time I have seen it since the original release and I had forgotten about Wood's cross dressing. Seeing Captain Jack Sparrow/Sweeney Todd in angora is so funny. Martin Landau is spectacular as Bella.

Were those scruffy Yorkies with the Chihuahuas when Wood goes to check on Bella at his home?

[Sharly4]

Ooooo, you know what I saw not too long ago! Was a movie with Johnny and a girl that had some mental problem. Johnny was eccentric doing scenes from old movies. He was so cute! I just can't remember the name Benny and Joon? Maybe?? IDK!

I got in a debate with my friends about this too. I didn't like the original, Gene Wilder was just TOO creepy for me. But I DID like him in Young Frankenstein I love Mel Brooks. I loved the *new* oompa, which was one guy (Deep Roy), the old oompas creeped me out. Well I was a kid back then.

I LOVED Martin as Bella. "F*** Karloff!" LOL

Young Frankenstein, I almost have that movie memorized line for line. Marty Feldman is a riot! "Abby Normal" I agree about Mel Brooks.

Gene Wilder and the original Oompa Loompas were definitely creepy -- that is what appealed to me. They gave me nightmares! LOL! Depp's Wonka was definitely more approachable, not menacing.
