Hi, welcome to Fidget’s weekly Vanity Magazine Behind the
Scenes Video Blog!
We’ve decided to blog as we go about the making of Fidget’s
first video – it will be a blast!!!
BTW we will inviting Fidget Fans to come out to one of the
shoots, there will be some live venue show shots and we need you in the
crowd! It will be in the afternoon on a
weekday - location and date to be announced.
K, so yesterday we had our first wardrobe meeting. There will be three looks for us in the
video, so we need lots of clothes and stuff!
The first look is all of us will have a female icon we are replicating
(to later be shed in favour of our own true selves!) I (Nicole) will doing Marylyn Monroe – mostly
just naked, and in one shot wearing a cool dress. We have to look into what exactly the
censorship rules are as far as potentially showing my bare butt, and me and
just a guitar on a bed and so forth.
Possibly my butt will be blurred like on cops, you know, like it did a
crime and is innocent until proven guilty.
Leah will be Betty Page – corset and no pants and so forth –
if you don’t know what Betty Page looks like, just google the name and lots of
pictures come up. Some mean lady is
yanking on the corset laces in the back and I come in and chase her off with a whip. :D
Enter Elena, Cat Woman!
Meow. She will be leaning on a
cat statue drumming on her legs and on the floor.
Sydney
is … wait for it… Sailor Mars!!! (Whee hee hee!) Google that if you don’t know what we’re
talking about :o) She will look HOT!!!
We enter the room where Elissa is dressed like Jessica
Simpson playing Daisy Duke. Some photographer
is trying to show her what she’s supposed to do with this ice cream cone, (yikes!)
she throws the ice cream cone over her shoulder and we come in and dump the ice
cream bucket on his head – then run off, laughing :D
(Yay, ice cream!)
Originally we were going to have an ice cream fight amongst ourselves,
but that would be a wardrobe and make-up nightmare, eh? Besides, this is more consistent with the
plot.
Okay, so that’s part one of the wardrobe meeting, then there
will be a shot where we are all wearing black and white, and playing black and
white instruments, wearing red lipstick.
Now I have no idea what I’ll be wearing for tonight’s show in Niagara Falls, because my
new black and white leopard print slut dress has been commandeered by Wardrobe. This shot will be live in
motion, superimposed upon - you guessed it - Vanity Magazine! The magazines will be in a stack bundled on
the sidewalk (with us rocking out on the cover) and also in the hands of you
guys at the venue.
The third set of outfits we’re putting together is for our
live show shoot – (come and be in it!!!) We’ll be all punky, and our look will
be unified by the presence of stripes somewhere on all of our persons, like
stockings on one of us, gloves on another.
I’ve got my striped top figured out, now I must go shopping for a cool
black leather skirt, possibly with some chains or buckles.
Isn’t this fun? Chris
our totally awesome wardrobe designer is on the case making all necessary
costumes and alterations and such (Sailor Mars!!!) Our next wardrobe meeting is scheduled for a
week this Tuesday – we should know the date and location of the live venue
shoot by then so be sure to check in!
Love and punk,
Nicole
