Beauty and the Beast Costumes Can Be Crafted in a Single Day

In contrast to the Beast costume, Belle or Beautys costume is simpler to create. Find a prom dress thats yellow or beige in color and youre almost ready to go. It would be great to come up with something that closely resembles the actual cartoon figure. But it usually depends on your preferences and the prom dress collections that you can find at different local vintage and resale stores. To make your hair resemble Belles long curly locks, costume wigs are also available. Other than costume wigs, you can also find costume jewelries that will make you look more elegant. Another great addition is the long opera gloves.

The easiest part in creating the Beast costume is on using some of the clothes in your husbands wardrobe. The difficult part of it is in coming up with the beast image. You need to purchase fake fur, double sided tape, cloth tape, a knit stocking cap, dark cotton work gloves and a rubber wolf or dog nose at a local party store. Second, you also need to gather long sleeve shirt, tie, blue jeans, dark socks or tights and shoes from your husbands wardrobe.

The first thing to make is the wolfs hood. Start by cutting the fake fur. Be sure to make it fit with the stocking cap. Make use of the cloth tape to fasten both the fur and the hood. Then, cut a hole in the fur piece to make it cover your hubbys head so that it slips through. Next, create the ears by making small triangular shapes. Fasten it with the fake fur by using the cloth tape.

Next thing to do is the wolfs feet. Cut two wolf track shapes with pointed toes. Make sure that they are similar with each other. Utilize your husbands shoes by cutting its length. Dont forget to add an inch margin all the way around until you are finished cutting. Then cut a big X from the fake fur. Create two shoelace holes in front of the X. Have your husband place his foot through the X and into his shoe. Tie up those shoelaces up and through the fake fur. Its done; youve already come up with your husbands beast feet.

Lastly, you need to come up with a tail. This is easier to create, so dont worry a thing. Just cut a long piece of fake fur and make sure to come up with a tail-like form. Attach the sides with a double stick tape and then attach it to your husbands pants. Now, have your husband wear the hood on his head. Put his rubber nose in the right place. So there, Beast and Belle is now set for the ball.

By creating the Beauty and the Beast costumes, your kids will be able to visualize Disneys fairy tales. These costumes are unique and it sure is perfect for both of you.

Beauty And The Geek Tommy Talks About learning How To Fish

When the fifth season of Beauty and the Geek finally came to a close earlier this month, Tommy and Amanda were a quarter of a million dollars richer after winning over Chris and Cara by a difference of one more contestant collected across the city. Reality News Online wasted little time in engaging Tommy Severo in conversation about the just-concluded season and his experience on it.

One-half of the winning tandem narrated how he came to be among the Geeks in the show, especially when he doesnt exactly fit into the stereotype.

Actually, the show chose me. I happened to be in the right place at the right time, Tommy recalled. A film was being shot at my law school last fall and they needed people to play extras. After sitting in the background all day, I was approached by one of the producers from the film who apparently noticed my geeky style, formal speech, and awkward interactions with some of the female cast members. Once he found out I was also a student at the law school, he got me to come in for an audition.

Though recruited purely by accident, Tommy remains thankful for the experience of being on Beauty and the Geek, citing the most obvious of perks among the top reasons.

“I am truly grateful for having had this wonderful experience…I was certainly fortunate enough to have had a great deal more female attention than I was used to receiving in my everyday life,” he said. “Having had little experience with that kind of interaction, it was easy to get caught up in the whirlwind of emotions, but I kept reminding myself that the girls were there to teach me how to get dates, not to be my dates. Its the old ‘give-a-man-a-fish/teach-a-man-to-fish’ thing.”

And that, folks, is as geeky as Tommy can get the heart and soul of Beauty and the Geek in a nutshell.

CHARACTER OF THE BOSS IN KATHERINE MANSFIELD’S THE FLY

CHARACTER OF THE BOSS IN KATHERINE MANSFIELD’s THE FLY

Katherine Mansfield’s short story The Fly is taken from the collection ‘Dove’s Nest’ and inspired by her dear brother Leslie’s death, it is one of her finest short stories. The Fly is the story of a person haunted for six years by the death of his son. It is the depiction of anguish. Mansfield’s technique in her stories was to make her characters show their thoughts by a kind of mental soliloquy -fluttering, gossipy, breathless with questions and answers.’ Moreover like Lawrence she creates an intense atmosphere through suggestive details. The character of the Boss in the story The Fly is represented through dialogue, monologue and symbolism. These are the three clear cut sections in the story. The first introduction to boss is to his outside appearance. The second ventures into his mind. The third presents a thoroughly complex character that one has to think over.

The Boss is introduced through a conversation with his friend Woodifield. We realize Woodifield is old, retired, physically weak, and financially not very well off. Boss is presented through the method of contrast. The Boss is stout, rosy, healthy, although five years senior to him, but still going strong and in control of affairs. The Boss has done well for himself. He has a comfortable office with new carpet, new furniture, electric heating and with all the physical comforts that would give him -solid satisfaction’. But all this is appearance. The chink in the armour is the photograph of a grave looking boy in uniform. It was not new, it had been there for six years. The photograph strikes the discordant note. It is one old thing in all that is new. It hides a secret. It is a story of agony that the boss wants to avoid. So he does not draw attention to the photograph. But Mansfield’s process of breaking the appearance has started. She does it through Woodifield. The latter tries to remember something. The Boss feels sympathy for him. This is ironical. We soon question who wants sympathy. However the Boss produces a whisky to Woodifield’s glee. But the whisky unleashes a series of agony for Boss and soon the positions are reversed. Woodifield starts talking about Reggie’s grave and the grave of the Boss’ son nearby. The daughters of Woodifield had gone to Belgium and spotted it. The Boss makes no reply but only a quiver in his eyelid showed that he heard. This is the beginning of the process of suppression of emotion. Woodifield goes on describing the graves. The boss responds without even knowing what he was saying. The contrast in characters is clear. Woodifield had accepted his son’s death and could talk freely about it. But it hurt the Boss to even think about it. He wanted to avoid it. In fact he is a figure of pity. It was a hidden sorrow in his mind. After this Woodifield leaves. The mention of Reggie’s grave was a shock to the Boss. For six years the Boss had suppressed sorrow in his mind. He had never thought of the boy dead but in his uniform, sleeping peacefully. Now at the mention of his son’s grave, which was reality he tried to cry but he could not cry. It is common in Mansfield’s stories that characters come to the brink of tears but do not break down. She avoids sentiments. But she expresses something deeper. The Boss prepared to weep but could not weep. In the initial years the Boss used to break down thinking about his son. He had thought then the Time would not change his sentiments. He had considered himself far more hurt by his son’s death than others. He had worked all his life building up his business for his son. Life was meaningless without him. He had been the proud father. Often they had journeyed together. He had been loved by the office staff and he was not spoilt. But one telegram carrying the news of his son’s death had crashed his world. All this Mansfield narrates to bring out the depth of hurt in Boss and the intensity of his loss. It helps us understand the Boss’ emotions. But now after six years he could not recall his emotions. This was causing him further agony.

At this moment a fly falls in to the inkpot in front of the Boss. Somehow it clambered out. But then the Boss had an idea. He dropped ink over the fly again and saw it struggle. He admired the insect’s pluck. From this point onwards the Boss starts paralleling the plight of the fly with that of his son. Perhaps his son too had struggled like that on the battlefield. The Boss dropped another drop on the fly. He wanted to see what would happen. His son had not escaped death. The Boss becomes God here. He refuses to let the fly live. The fly drops dead on the blotting paper. Then the Boss realizes the loss. It was the loss of his son. In agony he asks for fresh blotting paper. He could not remember what he was thinking about. He is reduced to the state of Woodifield. It is a highly complex mind that we encounter. It is left to the reader’s imagination to interpret what he is thinking. The Boss emerges as a pitiable character with a wound nobody can heal.
