Costume Sneak Peek

Small portion of potential costumes

It might not look like a lot, but I have pulled a good chunk to start with for fittings. The image to the left is only about 1/3 of what I pulled last week and doesn't show off what I've pulled this week. But it does give you a glimpse into a few characters' colors...

I will be posting more by Thursday on what I've actually pulled and hopefully fittings will be happening this week and next. Initially I had made a schedule for myself, but as usual things change. The 3 standard people (they would be waiters, porters, commercial people) turned into 4 people. Then their initial plain look of a waiter's look turned into 1950s teenager street looks. Which in one way is pretty cool because it'll help set the scene with a more 1950s vibe. But on the other hand it means another challenge since I'm also costuming the crew in 1950s looks. Basically, depending on size and what the costume shop has to offer I may be making a few more pieces than I thought I would for the show.

I'm staying positive though, and it's pretty easy since I'm really enjoying working on the show. Everyone is really nice and super excited, so it helps keep the momentum going and it makes everything a little better.

Malotke Writes - Updated Website

Guess who got new headshots done? Me! I've been continuing to submit various written pieces (poems, drabbles, flash fiction, short stories, etc.) and have been needing headshots for some of the submissions. Since I have been using my photo from senior year of college (shot for the fashion show program) I had decided that maybe it was time for some new, and way more recent, photos. Pictured left is one of my favorite photos from the photography session. I've already updated my website using a bunch of the photos and I've sent them off for social media / marketing for upcoming interviews & anthologies that I'm included in.

Mood Board for Writing Characters

The Dire Circle - " The circle is dire, much like the outcomes of these stories. In this black zodiac themed anthology, you may come to dislike other people...maybe even yourself." When I pitched an idea for "The Dire Circle" during 2021, I wasn't sure that it would even get picked. But, once it did and I was given a Black Zodiac to then develop my short story, I decided to do what I do for costuming a character - I made a mood board for my main character. My Black Zodiac was the Serpent and my short story for the anthology is Twisted Tales, Dripping in Honey . My story centered around a very femme fatale main character with lots of buried secrets. I looked to old Hollywood glamour, dark reds, demon eyes, and other glints of seductress mixed with sweetness to create Melia . For me, coming up with a name was very difficult. After creating what should would look like, having an idea of her voice, her outfits, her drive, everything about her, I still needed the
