Damn! Am I sorry.
Honestly, I don't know why I am apologizing... I mean this is (By "this" I mean the blog) meant mostly for me, and yet here I am saying I am sorry for missing the Monday deadline. Its not an excuse, but I was busy all day, then I went off and saw some friends at night... That was FUN!
Now that I have made my obligatory apologizes, I will get on with the show.
Over the past several hours I have done a metric fuckton of research. I started in class, but ended up sitting in the commons trying to figure out one thing. How do I get costumes for cheap?
Now, I know I could ask who ever happens to be the actor (or actress... I am not sexist... Just lazy) in question to bring in a costume for themselves, but that leaves me with a few issues. What if the costume doesn't fit the tone of the film? What if it has a large logo that I can't get the rights to use? What if I hate the look of it? What if? What if? What if?
To be honest, I haven't come up with many alternatives. So I think I may be forced to go with the classic University stand by... BEG! BORROW! And STEAL! This may not be news to any one of you, but I am cheap. Cheaper than cheap. I wouldn't save my mother from the ravenous bug bladder beast of trall if it involved me spending a dime (or going back in time... I detest time travel... Stupid paradoxes).
Not every costume can be begged off. Where Trevor's T-shirts in many scenes could simply be a promotional shirt that we got out of sheer luck, Trina's PizzaGirl costume will be much harder to procure (Any one in the audience wear spandex?).
So, with out many other options I will make a public outcry. Currently, I am looking to make these costumes on the cheap... So if some one knows a retailer who would be willing to part ways with a few shirts, pants, and skirts for a mention in the credits (or in the movie... I am flexible with product placement... In fact I am looking into that now... And may talk about it next week) please, send them my way... There free shit, is my free shit... As it where.
So until next week, keep your head out of the gutter, and remember to have your pets spayed and neutered.

okay, so to save you time, and because I am a stickler... actor is both male and female... actually, actress is considered demeaning to some... long story, dates back to Shakespeare, I'll tell you sometime...
anyway, as for your costume dilemma... Value Village (and other thrift/second hand stores) 1/2 price sales should be your (and by that I mean your actors') best friend. Cast your movie, then have a day, when the 1/2 price sale is on, where your cast buys costumes... you're there to okay them, and they're half price. And half off dirt cheap is dr cep.
I'm here for you, man. lessthanthree
