Dec. 1st, 2017 08:28 amI've been volunteering at the FIDM museum for the past couple months (I'm unemployed and trying to "keep my hand in", but that's another post). I went yesterday and the office was all a tizzy because they had locked down a deal with a company to get their next big historical show to travel to other venues. I love hearing the behind-the-scenes stuff - if only it could lead to a job prospect for me sooner than later!
Anyway, here's the announcement, which is pretty minimal but still cool. Outdoor Girls won't open in LA until 2020 though, so don't get *too* excited!

The curator is buying stuff left and right for it which is fun, because new packages arrive daily and sometime I help catalog and photograph them. I got to handle a c.1810 women's riding crop yesterday, no biggie. *internal screams of joy*
Yesterday they also started planning the layout for the next Hollywood Costume exhibition. They're getting some Wonder Woman pieces (yay) but someone kept referring to her daywear as 1920s. (I was in the other room filing and eavesdropping, so I don't know who.) Umm, the WHOLE PREMISE of the movie was that it took place during WWI. Maybe she hadn't seen the movie?
