During 2020 we experienced the beginning of COVID-19 which meant a lot of shows were cancelled. I actually lost 4 costume designer jobs during this time. Despite theater making a comeback, I then suffered a pretty bad foot injury in 2021 which left me very restricted in what I was able to do. This led to another Costume Design job being cancelled for me (Wizard of Oz).

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...
