Moving To Philadelphia

A link to this week's photos. This week we welcome guest number 3, brilliant costume designer Tara Webb (responsible for the costumes in the Accidental Trilogy) who relocated to Philadelphia seven years ago and passes along her suggestions of fun Philly adventures including a nature preserve, excellent hiking options, and the mummers parade. Some questions under discussion include: What is a mummer? How did Tara turn a shapeless flame-retardant suit into a flashy futuristic outfit? What was the first costume she ever made? How did she end up being a costume designer when she at first resisted learning how to sew? How many sewing machines does she now have, how many did she used to have, and why did she give so many away? What is the highest quality sewing machine? Does she prefer collaboration or complete autonomy when hired as a designer? What are the pros and cons of being a freelance designer, anyhow? Did everyone realize you can create an imaginary shield outfit to ward off anyone you'd like to ward off,
