I am making progress on my corset. It goes slowly. There are three of us working together so we have a hard time getting together. I will take pictures when I have something interesting to show.
In other news I went with a group of girlfriends to go see Pride and Prejudice the musical. We had a great time together. The musical was fun too. I am not sure that a musical was the way to go with this particular Austen novel. P&P is a dialog driven novel. That is where most of the action happens. It looses something when you take out the verbal fencing and replace it with song. I also came to the conclusion that Mr. Darcy should NOT sing. My favorite tall, dark and broody character can not burst into song. I really believe that it violates some cosmic law of broodiness. I could keep going but I don't want to get violent. I am just a little obsessed with the topic.

I must agree with you on the Darcy thing. I don't think he should sing, especially at "the moth to the flame" song. That just ruined the whole broodiness thing altogether. Really. Altogether.
I am so happy to see you blogging again! Yay!
I completly agree. Darcy should not and hopfuly never again sing. I have not seen the musical but I don't need to see it to know it. Besides I'm not willing to lose that beautiful image of Collin F. as the perfect Darcy!!!(:
I agree!! Colin F is the one true Darcy :)
The actor had a beautiful voice, but like we discussed earlier, he reveals his feelings much too early in the musical plot. And Elizabeth needed to be a little less giddy. Very entertaining to watch your eyes pop out when stuff got a little "creative". Seriously who can improve or change Jane Austen?
