I was re-reading Margo's post and it got me to thinking...How many of our family members are enjoying costuming since we became a member of h-costume? Or maybe inherited the costuming gene? If so what kind of costuming?
All my kids like getting into costumes...sometimes for no real reason. We were lucky to have inherited my husband's family costume bag. My grandchildren go straight to the bag...now totes of costumes to play in when they visit us. Their closets are full of their own costumes. My 5 y.o granddaughter wears her costumes everywhere...to school, church, the store, etc. My 9 y.o. granddaughter has started sewing and is very passionate about it. My son, Patrick, is the one who inherited the most costuming genes. I didn't know until I saw the playbill but he was designing the costumes for his high school plays. He made his first costume for an anime convention and won an award for construction. He has worked in the costuming retail industry for 4 yrs as a manager of Spirits Halloween stores. This year Pat went back to college for theater technology. He has been awarded full scholarships for college.
