Norma
Every third Saturday of the month, at a club not far from me is a club night called Cybil's House . It's an amazing party, great music, a good variety of performers and a good mix of people in/out of drag. I don't claim to be any good at drag, but I enjoy the creativity, the dressing up, expressing myself and not giving a damn what anyone thinks. Every month is themed, and the next party was going to be musicals. I decided to do Norma Desmond from the musical Sunset Boulevard. A musical icon, brilliantly portrayed by Glenn Close. The look that I wanted to re-created was this; First thing was to source some fabric. Not far from where I live is a fabric store at Watney market. Prices are reasonable and there's a good selection of fabrics. The first fabric I found was (1) below. However, I felt the print was too big, although it was reasonably priced at £3 a metre. (1) I then moved on to Dalston to Dalston Mill Fabrics. This shop is amazing...
