ASTOUNDING !💄

i was walking past the practice rooms today and heard someone absolutely maul mariah carey's entire butterfly album. i'm talking full on crime scene. if anyone feels like fessing up to how absolutely talentless they are, i'll buy you a cup of tea and a melodyne subscription.

I'm imagining that cup of tea is going to need a MIRACLE to cure whatever vocal damage has been caused to that poor, unfortunate soul. Everyone has their own preference - honey, lemon, ginger or even liquorice.

There weren't many things in life that could temporarily render Harmony speechless - but that? Well, Tina's admission did the trick. The roles that the two girls were playing, Janis and Regina, were mortal enemies whom Harmony had convinced herself years ago were secretly just sapphic-lovers. An immediate swarm of thoughts fluttered around her brain, trying to process each and every new piece of information in a hurried frenzy. Truthfully, her path hadn't crossed with Tina all that much - or at all, really. Yet that hadn't meant Harmony hadn't noticed her. "You've always been on my radar, Tina." She immediately replied, her tone firm and absolute. "At the beginning, purely from a talent point of view. It's like I have this buzz-buzz-BEEP scanner in my brain that immediately narrows in on talented individuals. You could say I'm supremely attracted to them? And your talent was always so radiant. So, as you can imagine, you were always in my mind and on my radar - even if our paths never really crossed." She paused again, realising she was rambling and starting to inwardly panic that this had crossed into the realm of nervous-caused rambling. "I really appreciate you telling me." Harmony gave a smile. "Have you ever stumbled across the Janis-Regina side of the internet? There are so many people who are convinced they literally were just secretly in love with each other the entire musical. Or movie. Myself, included."

Her attention was FIXATED - laser sharp eyes, watching, scanning - as she watched the performances with a fascination. This performance of The Addams Family was meant to be NYADA's finest - yet, with herself NOT in that cast or dazzling on the stage, Harmony was a little baffled. Bemused, almost. This was not NYADA's finest; not by a long shot. Part of her brain was wondering, calculating and pondering over just how much the bribes must have been. Another part of her brain was kicking herself for not thinking about bribing the NYADA-professors sooner. It was only when Harmony heard a familiar voice to her side that her gaze shifted, eyebrow raised, before she reached out and placed her hand over Jesse's mouth. "Shhhh." Her eyes were wide with SCANDAL as she hurried Jesse away from the front of the audience in an instant. When they were safely away from the crowd of onlookers, Harmony finally grinned and let go out of his mouth.

Honestly, I'd completely forgotten they were doing a costume contest, too long spent working on the set for Addams Family, I think.

How's the set going? I'd imagine if you picked any Addams Family character, you'd be totally fine using that as inspiration for a costume!

I'm not the costume type, unless it's for a performance, so count me out. As for theme, I don't believe there ever is one, hasn't been in the past, at least that I can recall. Not that I've ever paid too much attention to such. So, honestly, what you do and how you do it is on you.

See, this sounds to me like you've not yet been snatched up for a paired or group themed costume and that, to me, sounds like a real waste of an opportunity. Thank you for the advice, though! I appreciate your wisdom.

i didn't hear anything about a theme, unfortunately. you know i love a theme. i decided on an angel, kind of inspired by the 1990's romeo & juliet directed by baz luhrman. it has such a beautiful aesthetic - i probably won't win, someone who's wearing bunny ears and next to nothing will, but at least we'll have fun?

SEE - this is what I was thinking!!! NYADA-students, especially those of whom that I spend my time with, are insanely and incredibly clever. We have the ability to turn something as simple and stereotypical as a costume party into a literal work of art. Thank goodness for you, Rachie.

wait, ...is the theme not halloween? is this your attempt at making us second guess our costumes so we change them at the last minute and you've got a better shot at winning? because i liked mine until i read this, but now i'm not so sure about it.

Please do NOT second guess your costume!! I'm merely...trying to guage EXACTLY how Halloween are we talking. Are we thinking sexy-esque vibes? Cady-Heron literally terrifying vibes? OR are we putting our own Rocky-Horror-Chicago themed twist on the entire concept of a Halloween outfit? This is NYADA, after all! The college of piz-azz!

🔥 YOU MATCHED WITH: HARMONY PEARCE! 🔥
