Moulin Rouge Day 4

So, day 3 was a bit too chill for our liking. We went home with the this funny feeling inside... no not love... redundancy.

Turns out letting someone else take control is even more tiring and agitating, hence we planned to channel our energy on things we 'could do to enhance the still-not-done-even-though-the-deadline-has-arrived set. So we decided to embellish, woo hoo! (we're serious with the woo hoo, pliss).

After a meeting with another client we made a trip to Gizri to find lifesavers, turns out the world is all about outer beauty that costs you and arm and a leg from a pocket pincher point of view, which sadly we have become. Starting up businesses can make one sleep hungry at times (yes, I exaggerate). Qucik thinking and were off to Shaheen for golden paper sheets.

Finally material in hand, the spark was back! We were doing the set of Moulin Rouge and it will be kick-donkey!


Comes day 4 and we arrive with hands full of material and lame humour that throws us in a paroxysm of giggles. Eyes watering we enter to exercise control.

And begins drawing, cutting, pasting, and stenciling. Ahhh, it feels wonderful. Even the workers seem to be enthused by it. why the hell didn't we think of this before. Monkey does, as monkey sees, d'oh!

So this is what is done so far:
- Windmill's up, wallpapered, lighted and semi embellished with sparkle cutouts (darn, the cuting takes time)

- The heart actually looks like a heart now. We cut out a proper shape and stuck it from behind. Sigh.

- The pillars stand erect after 3 days of procrastination. We swear, they were lying outside, orphaned despite regular bantering of, "bring it in!".

- The jafris are complete, standing elegantly with paneling that seemed would NEVER happen.

-The arches are done, howza!

And although all of this seems like nothing (and it is, we know so zip it), it feels like.. like.. ah, like we have understood the plot of Lost -pffft, like that is possible. What is up with Jacob anyway and the absurd parallel timeline?! But I deviate...

Aaaannd back.

Now, after several leg pulling of how the set was supposed to be and how it is now(its not funny, kids. Really.), we sit sorting the lettering out and then it's a wrap. Well, for here anyway. Then we go home and do some more cutting and stenciling, an all nighter in an eggshell.

More people, more comments.... still not funny, kids.
