...simply do not enchant the audience as much as those in last year's A Midsummer Night's Dream and Sleeping Beauty did. As mentioned earlier, the grand ballroom scene feels more chilling than charming, with such dark and uniform costumes on everyone present. The stepsisters' bright dresses of pink and yellow-green are the only burst of color found among the characters. The Fairy Godmother and season Fairies all don fine costumes, but not particularly appropriate ones. As the Fairies spin and twirl, the mere bits of colored netting covering their bodysuits quickly become tangled and difficult...
...first few scenes, the lighting added the only hint of color, ranging from red to hot pink, illuminating faces and white shirts. In later scenes, the little circles of light emanating from a disco ball created an image of craziness and mirrored the bouncing notes of the music. On the floor were more circles of light that the dancers moved through and around, resembling the 'sea of holes' in the Beatles' Yellow Submarine video...
...what should have been an innocent if bizarre cosmetic exercise into a whole new method of communication. Each tint, already named something fluffy and marketable by the manufacturer, also had a deeper significance. My left index finger was "Fuschia Pastel," which would be better described as "Daddy's Girl Pink." My right thumb was a bright "Crushed Cranberry," which really means "Fornicate-With-Me Red."

For example, combining "Malevolence" and "Daddy's Girl Pink" resulted in the color-coded equivalent of a slap. "Malevolence" and "Pseudo-Gothic" together meant "I want to use you in a satanic ritual." If I combined "Fornicate-With-Me Red" and "Daddy's Girl Pink" with a dark green shade on one of my toes that started out as "British Jaguar" but was really "Racing Green," I could say "I want to fornicate with you in the back seat of the luxury...
Although I had fun directing obscene messages at various innocent bystanders, the nail-polish remover eventually put an end to that game. I decided it was time to start my own library of cosmetics. For 99 cents I purchased a small vial of very shiny, very pink nail-polish from CVS. It's just a little too girly, a little hyper-feminine, which is pretty much exactly what I wanted. By playing a little too much into the stereotype, I figure I can subvert the genre, sort of the way I put an extra swagger into my step when...
