When you are buying props and costumes for a musical, you find yourself making really strange purchases:

24 dog bowls
12 enormous palm fronds
1 "Burlesque Beauty" wig
Rit Dye in lots of different colors
Tablecloths that will become capes
$120 of foam core
20 yards of marabou feathered boa
14 pom poms
Saddle shoes
T-shirts with Beethoven's head on it
Giant scissors
Ginormous pencil that really writes

I have a feeling that my shopping list is different then most people's...
