Re: [h-cost] Job opening: asst. professor, costume design
You mean they might get situated elsewhere? My campus shop was in a U-shaped building at the opposite end from the theater...right next to the dressing rooms...in the basement of course! In our old theater one usually had to change costumes in the wings; in the new one they do the same because there is no time to travel. I was consulted in the planning stage but then the boss for the construction design red-lined 99% of my requests and suggestions. No storage space, design space, maintenance equipment,laundry, or showers for performers. The building was airconditioned..but not in the costume area. And it adervitised all the time about being state of the art! Now, when they built the new Sports facility, all these areas of concern were well taken care of.

Re: [h-cost] 14th C. hairnets
Here's a bit more info: One of the nets is netted from 2-ply silk threads in green and white with arms embroidered in silk and gilt silver thread. The arms were embroidered on coarse linen ground and then sewn on to the net. The other net is made from narrow woven silk bands, white, with parchment bits sewn on to the crossings. The parchment was probably once blue. I have long since wanted to reproduce that net, and I even managed to get parchment and silk bands, but I haven't found the time yet. Both nets come from art and antiquity sales, so their provenance is not known, and dating is a little unsure because of the same reasons. They probably date to the 14th c. though.

RE: [h-cost] Thank You Albert (OT) plus some Miss America info
A good case is the Mountain View performing Arts Center. It was designed with a lovely fly loft. But a city architect thought the fly loft spoiled the look of the building, so he cut it down by half.

[h-cost] Viking Women's Dress - New Discoveries
I came across this news item, and thought it might interest some group members:- Women who lived in the major Viking settlement called Birka in the 9th and 10th centuries dressed in a much more provocative manner than previously believed. ... When the area around Lake Mälaren was Christianized about a century later, women’s dress style became more modest, according to archaeologist Annika Larsson.
