Living My Best Life - A Pictorial Retrospect of the Last Year
Well hey y’all! I am back mainland or “shoreside” as we like to say in the ship world. I came home from my third contract just over a month ago and have been busy since! But, I finally was able to carve out some time to update you all on my year to date.
This summer, I spent two weeks down in my favorite summer town at the Brownville Village Theatre designing the first show of the season, The 39 Steps! The show was a big challenge giving me opportunity to play with gender and clothing while also figuring out how to help the actors change so many pieces in such short amounts of time!
After my brief stop at BVT, it was back to Florida for my third ship contract! I was back onboard the Splendor but while the shows were the same the cast was completely different! Two of my favorite shows, Diamond Run and Crossroads, were photographed by former cast member and current Social Hostess Olivia McCarthy.
I loved round two on the Splendor; this year we got on the ship in Iceland and traveled all over Europe (including one of my new favorite countries Norway) and down the western coast to South Africa! I got to see the northern lights, went on African safari, had a private boat tour of the Amalfi Coast, drove through the sand dunes in Namibia, and saw classic European highlights like the Blue Lagoon in Iceland, the Leaning Tower of Pisa in Italy, and the Sagrada Familia in Spain. I also visited my 60th country! The list is endless and I am endlessly grateful for the experiences I have had thanks to my ship contracts. I am also so lucky to have met so many friends along the way!
And, because I can’t simply sit still and do nothing, the last month has been packed full with fun, friends, and festivities! I have seen tons of theatre shows and drag performances around the country and am finally back in Florida but for a short gig stitching in the costume shop at Creative Costuming by NCLH!
Until next time, make sure you’re following along on Instagram and Facebook. I can’t wait to share with you all the exciting things this year has in store!
