[Update: 10/01/24] major structure overhaul (I swear everything is there its just the order that changed), new hairstyles, new costume style
Update is finally here. Which means pewter is finally in the game. And my long talked about color expansion finally happened.

the more i talk w/ leftist friends the more i start to realize that they think culture is only defined by food or "traditional" (i.e. "ethnic") garb and nothing else
mentioned how white americans do in fact have a common culture and they genuinely thought i was joking. culture isnt something only granted to the Cool People of Color. just feels like among progressive groups there's this dichotomy created in which only the virtuous oppressed minorities have culture and anyone who is privileged some sort of void cultureless being
When I visited Chicago, the very first thing to weird me out from the airport was… how almost everywhere had revolving doors.
I’m Australian. Sure, we do have those doors, but the vast majority of places in Sydney are automatic sliding doors or old-fashioned manual push/pulls because we don’t need to block out the cold and wind the same way here.
So every day I experienced a culture clash with something as basic as what doors were normal for me.
Americans who say they don’t have a culture are plagued with defaultism beyond belief. Culture isn’t just made up of costumes and language and the largest stuff, it’s constructed of a billion small things you do every day that you never even consider could be different because that’s just “normal” to your daily life. No one has no culture just because they’re not adhering to the biggest markers they can consciously recognise.
Yes, I have these saved for exactly this reason.
so i know those boots in the back are just rehearsal boots but like… what are they
colour-wise they look like a blue-ish sort of colour and white. but none of the blue boots have that design???
Irl blue sixsona boots
Preeeeeeety sure those are Cristina's weirdly grey pink boots which are kinda white sixsona boots. And that the color filter they put on the video is making them look blue. The previous AUS cast still had rhinestones instead of studs and lattice and at one point you can see Thalia still has those so safe to assume Cristina does too. Pants and nailpolish match Cristina's on the rest of the video and on another point she is holding straps that also look blue and that have a label on which makes me think she was taking out her straps to put them on the boots.
If Clara does have the Black Alt redesign, what variation do you think she’d get? Because looking at her covers a Shorts and Pants combo makes more sense than the standard main skirt variation.
Thats the big question isn't it?
To me black is a skirt costume. All versions had a skirt as main variation that was different to all the other costumes. And I never loved how it looks with shorts. The pants are really good though, but at the moment teal and orange both have pants so I don't want a third costume with pants as main variation. Also as much as I love the black skirt I don't want a third open skirt-no peplum costume three would be too much of the same. But lets be honest, that didn't stop pewter from having a skirt thats very similar to silver, if it is a version of black its probably open skirt. What I want the most is an alt costume with shorts as main variation, which incidentaly could be a really good match for B/S. But also with black I can't explain how much I would love a new take on the original skirt. It is something that we haven't seen since 2019 and with all the changes on how the costumes are made that have happened since the possibilities are endless. And it would be another great option for B/S.
And ftr I don't think the spain alts are getting variations as much as I would love that to happen. Or that they will do their second covers outside of emergencies.
Right. Very unexpected.
So orange, silver and pewter are a thing. Variations confirmed. Wow.
I really hope the straps she posted a few weeks ago are not an orange or pewter redesign.
Also, were are forever in the era of long silver peplums.
@zoeoswaldmusic
Yay for swing variations and orange. Rip to experiments on this cast. I don't think the new straps are pewter or orange though. Pewter is the cutout design, and that overlapping diamond design appears on the pants too, I genuinely don't see them changing it to diamonds when they tripled down on the cutout design before. And I don't think its orange because even if the straps photo is grayscale it looks like it is metallic finish (not sure on the actual name but they look like cut stone and are opaque) rhinestones not crystal. Afaik the metallic rhinestones only exist in white/grey/black so not orange. Just look at this comparison between an orange strap I turned greyscale and the teaser photo. Orange rhinestones are clear and look a mid grey vs the new ones dont look clear and are a brighter silver. And idk why they would make black the main color of the orange boots when so far it has been orange and white.
My current theory on the new straps is spain. Just think about it. They had some costumes on set during the announcement photoshoot, around the same time that photo was posted. And we saw orange and pink on the teaser, between posts, press day makeup and just knowing how alt costumes work those can be safely assigned to Barbara and Flor. Which leaves us with teal. Which we havent seen. At all. And Clara was wearing black makeup on the press thing. By elimination she should have teal. But current teal is not a B/S first cover look, black as we know it isn't either but with a redesign anything could happen. Also workshopping a new rhinestone design for spain at a time when costume related stuff was happening for that cast and before the busier summer months between two tour casts and everything crystalledbyjane does for pride. Thats where I am putting my guesses atm.

At a time when Netflix is getting roundly criticized for forcing its shows to treat the audience like we have all of two brain cells to rub together, The Vampire Lestat is out here volleying everything from 70s gay references to 1700s Dutch Republic references at the speed of light while saying, "You don't get it? Well, that's a fucking you problem."
And I love that for us.
I've been watching Pluribus the last couple days and let me tell you what. It is FUCKING WILD to go from TVL to Pluribus. I keep being like "why is this sequence of shots of 'walking to a plane, getting the plane started, taking off' TEN MILLION YEARS LONG"
and then i'm like "Oh. oh wait this is not ten million years long, this is still well within the normal range, it is only tipped a little bit towards a Slightly Leisurely and Cinematic Experience. Oh ok."
Pluribus is doing Normal Television that gives you a Normal Amount of Information per episode. TVL is grabbing you by the face and going "every fucking SECOND of what i'm about to tell you has GENUINE INFORMATION in it and like 95% of it is important, 5% for vibes and jokes, ARE YOU READY OK HERE WE GO -- ONE TWO THREE FOUR!! [ROCK SONG]"
[id. A twitter post by @/Bennieeexyz Jury duty letter came addressed to my cat. Not a mistake. "Felix Martinez" - that's his full name according to his vet records. My last name. His first name. Somehow he's a registered voter now. Called the county clerk. Me: My cat got summoned for jury duty. Clerk: Is the name correct on the summons? Me: Yes, but he's a cat. Clerk: Is Felix Martinez a legal resident of this county? Me: He's a legal cat. Clerk: Sir, if the name matches our records, he needs to appear or file an exemption. Me: He can't file anything. He has paws. Clerk: You can file on his behalf. Me: Under what exemption? There's no box for "is a cat." Clerk: (pause) Check "unable to serve due to medical reasons." Me: What's the medical reason? Clerk: He's a cat. Me: That's not a medical condition. Clerk: It is if it prevents him from serving. Sent in the form. Got rejected two weeks later. "Insufficient documentation. Please provide medical professional's statement." Took the letter to my vet. Me: I need you to write that my cat can't do jury duty. Vet: Why is your cat summoned for jury duty? Me: Excellent question. No good answer. Vet: This is the weirdest request I've gotten. Me: Can you just write that he's medically unfit to serve? Vet: On what grounds? Me: He's a cat. Vet: (started typing) "Patient is unable to serve due to species-related limitations including inability to speak, read, or comprehend legal proceedings." Me: Perfect. Sent it in. Got another rejection. "Summons is mandatory. Failure to appear will result in contempt of court." My roommate thought this was hilarious. Roommate: Felix is going to jail. Me: This is serious. Roommate: Bring him to court. See what happens. Decided that was actually the only option left. Day of jury duty, put Felix in his carrier. Brought the entire paper trail of rejection letters. Checked in at the courthouse. Clerk: Name? Me: Felix Martinez. Clerk: (looked at the cat carrier) Is that Felix? Me: Yes. Clerk: (long stare) He's a cat. Me: I've been saying that for six weeks. Clerk: Why didn't you file an exemption? Me: I filed three. All rejected. Showed her the letters. She read through them, expression shifting from confusion to disbelief. Clerk: Someone rejected the veterinary documentation? Me: Twice. Clerk: (called her supervisor over) You need to see this. Supervisor read everything. Looked at Felix. Looked at me. Supervisor: How did a cat get registered to vote? Me: You tell me. Supervisor: This is a data error. Me: Took you six weeks to figure that out. They dismissed Felix immediately. Apologized for the inconvenience. Supervisor: We'll remove him from the voter registry. Me: Appreciate it. Supervisor: (pause) Out of curiosity, how would he have voted? Me: Probably whatever party supports universal treats. Got a formal apology letter a week later and a voter registration card. For me this time. Apparently I wasn't registered, but my cat was. Roommate: Felix committed voter fraud. Me: Felix committed nothing. He's innocent. Roommate: That's what they all say. Felix is sleeping on the jury summons now. Fitting end to his legal career. end id]
do you think eve will reach swingo?
This got stuck on my drafts and at the time the answer was I didn't think she would go beyond four debuts. But now. I think in this contract she will stay at five but join the upcoming UK/international tour temporarily and do swingo there.
entirely hypothetical and potentially stupid question but i know how you said that orange/pink/pewter not having B sleeves is because they’d need an underlayer that covers the shoulders etc, do you think it would work if they had like a skintone fabric sleeve that was attached to the B cuffs at the bottom, kinda like what the howard leotard does with the skintone fabric to imitate having a separate top and skirt instead of one solid leotard
The shoulder looks empty thing is not about not covering the skin around the shoulder. Both the Boleyn and Cleves UK costumes have very wide sleeves and with Boleyn nothing underneath and it is not a problem. The issue is that for pink and pewter the sleeves are not just wide, they are blank underneath. This costumes are meant to be detailed from all sides and a big black area with nothing interesting going on doesnt match with the rest.
For orange it could end up like B/C where the sleeve looks wide but doesn't clash because the design is continued under the shoulder part. The bands on the orange sleeve are longer though. So it might end up similar to black alt with B sleeves where the sleeve is wide and stands out a little too much. With the long sleeves underneath the black and orange sleeves visually are pulled down and connected to the rest. In the same vein Parr and silver work with no undersleeves because the sleeves end in a cuff that visually narrow them down. I think pink and pewter wouldn't work without long sleeves because they are wide and have just solid black under them. Orange because the sleeves are long but those at least have something going on in the underside.
I have been enduring intense conversation with myself.

it genuinely baffes me that the uk touring production got 2 alt costumes made but never got them worn. in the current heatwave that the europe is suffering from, they could at least let milly wear hers.
Definitely! They have done that specific thing before (letting an alt wear the alt costume instead of A/C which are the heaviest costumes). But apparently those costumes will not see the stage anytime soon.
Ellie may have debuted new queens late in her tour contract and got a swing contract, but Milly Willows did the same and then never returned to Six. So Eve debuting Cleves so late doesn’t necessarily mean anything.
The reason we are bringing up Ellie specifically is because aside from Eve being the debuts outlier from this cast. Her C debut feels similar to how Ellie's final debut (S) went. Not because she debuted a role close to cast change. That is normal for UK alts, in casts where the alts had the possibility of adding new tracks at least one of them debuts a track at the very last minute. With Milly we don't know for sure but from the way everyone was talking about her C debut it seems it was something she had been working/asking for a while.
Eve is the odd one out on her cast, 25-26 UKT has had multiple emergency covers instead of Millie and Abi debuting another role while Eve is on debut number five. Afaik it wasn't necessary for her to play C last week, and with the heatwave debut for the sake of it doesn't really make sense.
But it does remind of how Ellie got a S wig close to cast change and debuted the role with the following cast while she was staying as extra cover post cast change. In hindsight all that happened in preparation for her joining the WE cast for a few months. With Eve she debuted A around the time casting for the 26-27 UKintl tour (not china one) should have been finalized and C close to her cast leaving. It just feels similar to other alts preparing to either extend their contract to the upcoming cast or joining a different company. The theory a lot of people (me included) have at the moment is that parts of the UK/China tour cast will join the 27-28 WE cast, but it is also possible that they split with some going to WE and some to UKintl tour. In that case some of the 25-26 UKT cast extending their contracts until december is the obvious solution and Eve specifically switching to swing for a few months gives them a reliable cover while the new alts make their debuts. It just feels in line with some things we have seen before.
It might be a silly concern, but if a pink Parr variation existed, could't they just use the peplum that is attached to the top and put on trousers instead of the open skirt? Is there a proportion/fitting/construction problem that doesn't allow this to happend. If there is none, it would be like the cheapest variation to maker ever.
Technically it could happen as long as the pants are high waisted enough. It would look weird with the current iteration of pink though. The issue with using the same peplum for skirt and pants is that the peplums are made considering the shape of what goes under them. So the skirt ones will be flared to accomodate the skirt are either narrower to follow the hips or the wider ones are shorter at the front so they dont flare up that much there.
The current pink peplum is basically Aragon. Wide, very flared and with a wide gap at the front. I don't think it would compliment the fitted pants (so everyone starting from Tamara). The earliest ones (Shaka, Zara, Roxanne) might work but also those were really Natalie's was longer but also wider so idk on those. The one I think would actually double really well for pants and skirt is Leah's peplum: on the longer side, narrow, small gap at the front. Thats a solid combo for a peplum.
if you had to assign 2/3 first covers to each of the 6 alt costumes, what do you think would be used for each one
I have thought way too much about this actually. Some match the original covers for the costume, some don't, some are obvious, some are weird, most are not ideal for C without variations. And its impossible to end up with balanced covers for this.
Black: two covers A/H, three A/B/H
Teal: two covers with shorts B/C, with pants S/P, three covers with shorts B/S/C or B/S/P, with pants B/S/P
Orange: two covers A/P, three A/C/P
Pink: two covers A/H, three covers A/C/H
Silver: two covers with skirt B/H, with pants S/P, three covers with skirt B/S/H, with pants B/S/P
Pewter: two covers A/S or S/P, three covers A/S/P
Do you think the UKCHI alts will wear their alternate costumes and redebut their 2nd covers (or even a new cover)? Any idea if Rosie Singha will get an orange costume?
I am assuming for Lorren and Erin specifically they will be prepared to play B/H respectively but might not get scheduled redebuts for those. They know the roles, they have the costumes, it hasn't been that long since they were actively covers for those so it would be weirder if they weren't prepared for it. Also they will be on the literal opposite side of the planet extra covers is a good thing. With Rosie idk. The 25-26 UKT got alt costumes and we all know how that went. For such a short contract with another four swalts they might choose to not give her an alt costume. But this is the wild costume and cover decisions tour. Anything could happen.

When someone gives the advice of “don’t be afraid to disappoint your parents” they don’t just mean taking music theory in college or starting a YouTube channel.
It also means wearing things they might not approve of. Using accommodations that they might not think you need. Not falling for their guilt trips. Eating when you’re hungry, not when it suits them and their idea of your weight or health. Making your own friends instead of seeking the stamp of approval from them.
Of course, some parents are stricter than others, and some use abuse to keep you from expressing yourself. But do what you can, even if it seems small.
Otherwise, when your parents are no longer in the picture, you’ll try to find it somewhere else to get validation. A strict boss, an abusive partner, a selfish friend.
Going against your parent’s wishes is developmentally healthy. Not doing so stunts your independence and self-regulation. You shouldn’t be living to constantly please others, even the people who love you.
