[six-costume-refs]

Do you think they're going to give Esme a skirt for Seymour and Rachel a Bobo skirt now?

( @madrigalsandmaximoffs answering here. I swear I got another ask or two about this but for the life of me can’t find them in my inbox so hopefully y’all see this.)

It’s possible. There are two considerations: whether it’s logistically feasibly and whether they want to do it from a design perspective.

Let’s start with logistics and exactly why Esme likely got a new Boleyn. Costume makers are booked MONTHS in advance. West End recast was booked back in the spring. So they’re not always available to make a costume immediately if it’s not planned for quite a while in advance (which I talked about as being a likely factor in why Jessica Niles got her UKT costume so late and why Rebecca Wickes might have joined later too). That’s why I usually don’t expect we’ll get random variations significantly into the timeline of a show running. But in this scenario, those logistics actually might provide an argument for actors to get a new costume.

UK costume makers typically function like most other freelance contract-based jobs, where you’re booked in advance to spend a certain amount of time working on a project before a certain deadline. For instance, Six might contact the usual Boleyn maker and say “hey, we would like to book you to make two Boleyn costumes, ideally starting in August and finishing by October 1st,” and then would work out the details from there. But because costume makers can fill up quickly, you sometimes need to book significantly in advance. From what we know about the timeline, Six usually books the costume makers for the next cast change before the current actors are finalized as staying or leaving. But because it’s better to have costume slots booked with each of the needed makers than not and they might not know who all needs a costume, it’s easier to err on the side of caution and book costume makers for a full cast change (or very close to it). Depending on how many of the actors stay, that might mean there are unused costume slots that were booked but Six now doesn’t need. With this West End cast change, Claudia Kariuki stuck around as Seymour, Dionne Ward Anderson as Cleves, Roxanne Couch as Parr, Rachel Rawlinson as black alt, Esme Rothero as silver alt, Danielle Rose as B/H/orange alt. That means they had likely booked slots for a:

- Boleyn (alt)

- Seymour

- Cleves

- Howard (alt)

- Parr (principal)

- black alt

- silver alt

- potentially an orange alt or vague alt costume

that they now didn’t need for new West End actors. But those slots could also be used to replace any existing costumes that needed to be replaced, and that’s not necessarily constrained to purely West End. In fact, it seems like they used those slots to replace costumes for several actors in the UK Tour who needed new ones:

The Boleyn slot could have been used to make a new costume for Jennifer Caldwell, the Howard for Rebecca Wickes, and the Parr for Alana Robinson.

The silver alt slot was likely used to provide any needed updates to Esme’s costume. That obviously means they had the chance to make a new Boleyn skirt. It also could mean replacements for existing pieces or even another new variation.

That of course leaves Seymour, Cleves, black alt, and orange alt/vague alt unaccounted for. Those slots may have been cancelled, rescheduled for a different time,* and/or there could be costumes in progress that we just haven’t seen. With black alt specifically that would mean something like Esme’s silver, where Rachel might get any updates or replacements that is needed and maybe, just maybe, we could see a new variation.

And that brings me to a design perspective. Honestly, I’m not sure if they’d do either. Rachel has always had the full set of variations that Collette Guitart had before her - an open skirt for Aragon/Howard, a Seymour skirt, full Cleves with shorts used for Boleyn with the primary top, and Parr pants. This also means that Rachel and Esme now both have nearly a full set for one of their primary covers: an Aragon/Howard skirt, a Boleyn or Seymour (Boleyn for Esme likely as it’s her first cover, Seymour for Rachel as it’s hers), full Cleves, and Parr pants.

So….. though she doesn’t have a Boleyn skirt, black alt has used shorts for Boleyn long enough now that they might count that as a full set. But shorts for Boleyn doesn’t work for silver alt, so that may be why Esme got one but Rachel still might not.

With that in mind, I do think that Esme will only get a Seymour skirt if Rachel gets a Boleyn (and vise versa). I’m just not convinced that they’ll decide it’s definitely needed.

TL;DR: possible logistically, but they might not feel it’s necessary from a design perspective.

———————————

*Claudia Kariuki and Jessica Niles both get some new costume pieces over this past summer. There’s a chance those were those slots but moved up.

The Aragon/Cleves Curse: A History

INTRODUCTION

This is kind of a joke and kind of not. The Aragon/Cleves first cover combo has proved to be quite problematic for our alts! Today, I’ll be detailing every actress affected by this “curse” in any capacity.

VICTIM #1: SHEKINAH MCFARLANE West End Alternate, 15 August - 12 October 2019

(pic 2 - @/89samwithacam, pic 3 - @/bonniebritainphotography) Shekinah initially had second and third covers in her contract but only had enough time to rehearse her first covers because she was already casted as principal Cleves for the second UK Tour. Just the first of many who were denied debuts...

VICTIM #2: ELLA BURNS Australia Swing, 25 January to 5 March 2020

(pic 2 - promotional material, pic 3 - taken by cast member) Ella did cover all six roles, but she only got to debut Aragon and Cleves before the production shut down due to COVID-19. She also ended up being the only swing that didn’t return when the production re-opened. This example seems out of step with the others in this list, but it’s too big not to mention.

VICTIM #3: CASSANDRA LEE UK Tour Alternate, 24 October 2019 - 9 March 2022

(pic 2 - @/daisygalforgphotography, pic 3 - @/paigeleigh_photography) For the three years she was in the show, Cassy somehow only played her first covers despite both her fellow alternates on tour Jennifer Caldwell and Harriet Watson hitting swingo. This, allegedly, was by her own choice.

VICTIM #4: PAISLEY BILLINGS West End Alternate, 16 November 2021 - 16 October 2022

(pic 2 - @/daisygalforgphotography, pic 3 - @/snappy_six, pic 4 - @/mattpartphoto) Paisley is the first Aragon/Cleves alternate to debut a second cover: Parr. That was the only other cover she got to debut, however, and she was the only swalt to leave at cast change. Her fellow alternates, Roxanne Couch and Danielle Rose, got to do 5/6 and a swingo, respectively. Note that this was Paisley’s first musical theatre gig and it might have been her choice to stick to 3 debuts.

VICTIM #5: KELLY DENICE TAYLOR Broadway Standby, 22-27 June and 17-23 July 2022

(pic 2 - unknown, pics 3 & 4 - taken by cast) This is a tamer example, but Kelly (of the Aragon Tour) had gone on standby on Broadway two separate times. This first time, she only covered Aragon and Cleves. She never needed to go on that time. The second time around, she covered Aragon, Cleves, and Seymour. That time she ended up having to go on -- as Seymour.

VICTIM #6: GRACE MELVILLE UK Tour Alternate, 10 March 2022 - 23 April 2023

(pics 2 & 4 - @/isaacgrinnellphoto, pics 3 & 5 - taken by cast member) Our most recent victim is Grace, who is the first Aragon/Cleves alternate to debut both second covers - those being Boleyn and Parr. She, unfortunately, hit a snag early on in the tour with Aiesha Pease’s departure. In the time that Grace had to serve as temporary principal Cleves, Leesa already debuted both of her second covers! Grace had time to catch up when Jaina left and Leesa had to pull temporary principal Howard duty for a time, but eventually she still ended with 4/6. With Grace having played her last scheduled show just a couple days ago, yet another swingo has been denied.

POTENTIAL VICTIM #7: MONIQUE ASHE-PALMER West End Alternate, 18 October 2022 - Present

(pic 2 - @/snappy_six, pic 3 - unknown, pic 4 - @/myheartofstonexo, pic 5 - taken by cast member) And so I bring you to our latest A/C Alt, Miss Monique Ashe-Palmer of the West End cast. She actually has the most decent chances so far of subverting the curse, as we’re about halfway through the current cast’s run and she has debuted both second covers. However, she still does lag behind fellow newcomer alternate Leah Vassell in terms of debut dates and she has the least amount of shows performed among her cast. Time will tell how the curse treats our northern queen!

CONCLUSION

Now, I’m not calling Six racist, but something has to be said when every doomed A/C alt has been black. Six tends to typecast black women as Aragon and Cleves and that’s totally on them, but the curse part is obviously a series of unusual coincidences and not anyone’s fault -- I think. Regardless, it’s been very interesting to track these sorts of things and I might make similar posts like this in the future.

The Princess of Wales’ Stats - Second Quarter

In the second three months of 2023, the Princess of Wales completed 45 engagements, averaging around 15 engagements a month. Her work rate saw a small jump after the coronation, completing 10 engagements in April and 17/18 in May and June respectively. She also appeared in nine released photos, videos, or statements, and was spotted five times - twice in April and three times in May. In April, a photograph that was taken by the Princess of Wales released. While none of these months have been her "busiest", they are notable for being consistent - this was her busiest June without a Jubilee and busiest May without a tour.

Of her 27 patronages, she has visited or completed work for 8, totalling 23 engagements in total. In April, Catherine completed four engagements on behalf of the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales. In May, three of Catherine’s six patronage related engagements were for the Royal Foundation, while she also completed one apiece for the Scouts, the Foundling Museum, and the Anna Freud National Centre for Children and Families. In June, nine of her engagements were related to the Royal Foundation, while she completed one for Polar Preet, the National Portrait Gallery, the Rugby Football Union and the V&A.

Of her 45 engagements, 25 have been solo while another 8 were when she was accompanied by her husband, the Prince of Wales. Eight engagements took place with the wider British Royal Family, while two took place with large numbers of both British and foreign royals present. One engagement took place with predominantly foreign royals - the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein to the now-Princess Rajwa.

All of her engagements - bar the Jordanian wedding - have taken place in the UK, in England (42) and Wales (3). More specifically, 22 of her engagements took place in Windsor, while 14 took place in London. She also halso undertaken engagements in Southampton, Warwickshire, Aberfan, Methyr Tydfil, Birmingham, and Slough.

Many of her engagements have linked to the Early Years, with seventeen engagements falling in that area specifically, with another one engagement linked to mental health and two further related to children and young people. 10 of her engagements were specifically linked to the Coronation, which took place in May. 2 of her engagements have linked to the military, while 3 engagements have been focused on both cultural and diplomatic natures. She also undertook one engagement specifically linked to the outdoors. Six of her engagements did not fit into the theme headings I have created.

Clotheswise, her most worn identified designer has once again been Alexander McQueen, followed by LK Bennett. Her most carried bag designer was Mulberry, followed by Prada. Her most-worn shoe designer is, again, Gianvito Rossi, although she has worn Aquazzura four times. In terms of jewellery, she has been dipping into the royal vault! She has also worn four pieces inherited from the late Princess of Wales, as well as from Orelia London. A further four pieces were unidentified. When it comes to hats, Catherine was seen in eight hats or headpieces, four made by different milliners/brands - Lock and Co, ASOS, Jess Collett X Alexander McQueen, and Queen Mary's Lovers Knot Tiara - while four were made by Philip Treacy.

More conscientious and less crap in ‘24.

In 2024, 2bn folks in the liberal-democratic world go to the polls and, if the current trajectory is anything to go by, the results will see a huge swing towards the right.

Rampant nationalism, isolationist policies, insular thinking, racism, populism, radicalism and pretty much the full house of bad-isms. It’s likely to be a tumultuous year of change and opportunity. It could also see the unraveling of hard-won climate concessions which could end up being the crime of the century. And the death of retail politics to match the post-truth world we achieved in 2016. Ho hum.

It’s also a year where we slip closer to climate collapse. As we increasingly play an important personal part we have cut our CO2 footprint quite dramatically over the last decade. Are we are finally running out of places to cut?

2024 is going to focus on:

REDUCING MEAT & DAIRY: So that’s cutting down on milk and beef consumption. In reality, we’re moving towards a more plant-based diet so chicken and pork consumption is going to fall, maybe 50-75% versus previous years.

I have a weakness for cheese, otherwise this section might have be called “almost eliminating meat and dairy”. Protein consumption is something watch out for as dairy is cut, especially as we’re getting older and need to keep our strength up. So thats upping the consumption of beans/legumes and eggs, one of my firm favourites.

Officially that makes us flexitarians. Sounds like a cult.

STOP BURNING STUFF: We’re quite close to zero fossil-fuel burning but we keep striving to cut more. Immediate-future plans include replacing the gas hob with induction and air-source electric heating. Neither are expected in ‘24, but planning will be complete and budgets secured for 2025.

We’ve had a full EV for a year now and with a green leccy tariff our fossil fuel transport footprint has shrunk dramatically since COVID and not bounced back very much at all in ‘22 and ‘23. We’re going abroad (Lisbon, Portugal) in February - it will be our first foreign trip together since our grand tour of Italy in 2019. International travel has got progressively more unpleasant since 9/11 and now it’s expensive so should be savoured.

By way of contrast, in 2019 we would have travelled several thousand fossil fuel car miles, several dozen thousand fossil fuel public transport miles. In 2024, we’ll see that drop to less than 3,000 personal transport petrol miles and a few thousand public transport miles, mostly short-haul holiday and some train travel inside the UK.

A life-long petrolhead, I used to drive cars tens of thousands of kilometres every year, spewing out 300gms + of CO2 every kilometre and would fly around the world at the drop of a hat. What a difference a decade makes; when I swapped my six point two litre 500 bhp V8 Mercedes for a tiny 1.5 litre 3 cylinder electric hybrid i8 in 2015 little did I know what a momentous journey I had started out on.

2024 also sees (hopefully) Derrin Water Solar Park come on stream. Invested into back in 2022 as an alternative to roof solar panels, they should see us getting an additional 6mWh per year of super-clean solar power and a handy 10-15p per kWh discount against our current green supplier, Octopus. That should see 15k miles of zero emissions EV driving every year for the next forty years. Carbon negative, baby!

CUT CONSUMPTION: We’ve not done badly here, but still far too often we get home deliveries of crap complete with acres of plastic. That has to be reduced. Stella now buys 2nd clothes, like me, and the aim to cut fast fashion in our house massively. And knock frappery on the head, including pointless presents and other rubbish that no one wants or needs.

We have sufficient bed clothes and cushions to last a lifetime, lets see if we can last a year without resorting to “I fancied a change” - the western world’s way of driving up needless consumption, creating financial dependence, and helping to ruin the planet we live on. This extends to consumer electronics, too. So no new phones, iPads, or other gadgets in ‘24, what we have now is more than enough.

If we live in 1:500 square feet now, then a good target is to aim for is 1,000 in a decade’s time. Let’s see how this one plays out, but I know we don’t need to live in a four bedroom house, nor do we need a 20ft+ long lounge or three toilets - it’s only me and Stella here.

DECLUTTER OUR WORLD: We have far too much stuff in our life and it needs to go. From clothes to motorbikes to shoes it needs to be radically reviewed and removed. If we want a smaller footprint, then we need a smaller house and that means less stuff.

I’ll start with clothes first, that should be easy - when was the last time I wore a business suit? Do I need 60 t-shirts? And there are a couple of large cupboards in my home-office that contain a sea of junk. Did anyone mention the garage? Jeez, it’s gonna be a busy year!

Tsemaye's wig seems to have purple in it, which I haven't noticed in any other Howard wigs. Am I imagining it or am I just blind?

Vicki Manser’s tour wig had purple, although the ombré went natural->pink-> purple while Tsemaye’s did natural->purple-> pink:

A few other wigs have leaned magenta as well but not quite purple. Samantha Pauly had probably the most magenta in some photos but a solid pink in others, probably a mix of actual color, photo filters, and changing dye colors (note that hers was her real hair dyed at that point):

Quite a few of the other recent UK wigs are a very vibrant peak that can lean towards a slight magenta tone, similar to that left wig on Sam, although they’re still distinctively quite pink and not purple:
