#anyway nini’s corset is my favorite costume and it matches satine’s red dress and i won’t shut up about it

[notrehistoire]

nini’s roxanne corset is one of my favorite costumes in the show. she only wears black/grey corsets throughout the show, but when she comes out to do that number, she wears a new color. red. satine’s signature color. the same red her roxanne dress is. also, nini represents satine during that number;

first with her lover (when it’s just nini and santiago introducing the number), but then reality begins (zidler’s monologue ends), she gives herself to the other dancers/men, she gets thrown around, lifted, yells, only wants to reach for christian but can’t. christian can only watch the dancer, until she finally gets taken to safety with her lover (santiago).

then… queue the real satine in the distance walking towards the duke. and christian can only watch yet again.
