NOTES: The Eau de Pee-Wee perfume joke went the same way as the mistletoe in Miss Yvonne's hair. The recurring theme of this project was, "What works for human scale does not necessarily translate to toy scale." Her gorgeous but overly-complicated dress was also heavily simplified for this project when I couldn't get the green taffeta or whatever it is in front to work.

If worse came to worst and I couldn't get the lower skirt done, I had a line prepared that Bob Mackie didn't have the dress ready yet, allowing me an out to use the regular figurine. 

And...Say "hello" to the Picturephone! The signature prop of this show, it cost me $175 as a 3D-printed commission piece by a fellow in Eastern Europe named Arturs, who operates on Etsy. He pulled through extremely well, and I was able to get it about 95-96% screen-accurate just with the paints I happened to have at home!
