BAFTA Inside the world of Merlin

Okay....bit of a late post...but oh well! I hope everyone had a fantastic christmas! Anyway, back sometime in Novemeber, I got another chance to go and see the Merlin cast, this time at the Barbican cinema where they were showing behind the scenes of Merlin! For now I'll just talk about the signing side...I've been staring too long at this screen! So after the show, we got to go and get autographs from Katie (Morgana), Colin (Merlin) and Bradley (Arthur)! They were signing postcards which were cute. We were told that they were only going to be there 10 minutes, and it wasn't well organised! So after queing for what felt like ages, I finally got to speak to them! Katie was first and she was all like 'Have I met to before?' and then I told her about Expo and she was like 'Of course!' And then she said 'I told our costume designer about you, she was well impressed!!!!!' I think I died! And then she showed Colin because he wasn't at Exop and he was like WOW and then said 'We should get you on the show!' Then I spoke to Bradley...XD He was putting peoples names on the postcard and when I said Thank You he seemed really taken aback!! Watch my video below to see more!!

London Expo October 09

Hey!

Sorry for not posting quite as often as I'd like, but you know how school is!

Anyway, I was finally able to make it to London Expo, and as the Merlin cast were gonna be there, I thought I should go as Morgana in her purple dress! So, here Im just gonna comment on the Merlin side of it, and if I have time I'll add more!

So, we managed to get pretty close to the front for the Merlin talk. It was so exciting! Before it began, a camera man came out and told us all to get up and say 'We love merlin!' for the DVD extras! When Katie, Angel and the creator, Johnny Capps, came on stage, there was a big scream! I got to ask a question: 'what was the most funnist moment on set?' to which Angel replied: 'when Bradley had to film with a horse in a lake and it just decided to sit down!' XD I got to stand up and say it, and while I was waiting, Katie and Angel looked like they were discussig about my dress! When I sat down, Katie was like 'I really like your dress'!!!! Made my day! A girl gave Katie some Jelly Babies, which was sweet! There was also another girl dressed as Morgana, so I got my picture taken with her! She was so lovely!

We then went to stand in the que for autographs! They were giving out free sticker books, whoch was very cool, so I got one of them. There was also another cameraman, who was interviewing people for the specials on the Merlin DVD extras, and surprisingly, we were interviewed! We got to say why we liked Merlin, and the question I asked and also about my dress!

Upon finally reaching the stars, it was Johnny up first. I was all like 'hi' and once he had signed the poster, he was like, 'do you mind if I take a picture of your dress?' and I was like 'No....' being the star-struck idiot that I am. So he got his phone out, and Angel was all Lol at him because he didnt know how to get it on to camera! So he took a picture of me and said,'I'm gonna show this to the costume designer, Kate'!!!!! I think I might have died and gone to heaven!! And, me being me, just laughed like a maniac!!

Next up was Angel, who was very sweet, but a bit reseverd. She said how she liked my dress and signed my poster and I asked if I could have a photo and she said 'yes of course'! I said thank you and moved to Katie, where I got a very big surprise...

All i saw in my face was a camera that Katie was holding! I was like 'What the...' and Katie was saying how cool my dress was and that she REALLY liked the belt! XD She was all like 'are you me?' and I was like 'yes...', probably sounding like a complete idiot! But Katie was really sweet and said how it looked much better on me than her! I said it really doesn't! So she returned the camera and signed my poster, asking who made it and when I said me, she was like WOW. Hehe XD Then she said, 'whats your name,' and THAT took me my surprise and I said 'Anna' and she replied saying 'well,its very nice to meet you Anna,' and shook my hand!! I asked for a picture and she said, 'you can have whatever you like'!! How kind! I said thanks, and we were on our way.

All in all, a very exciting and enjoyable day! Hopefully going again in May (!) and possibly seeing the cast again in November!! But my sister, gets to see Angel and Bradley on Saturday for a book signing! Lucky girl!

EDIT: You know how I said that we were interviewd, well on the last Merlin Secrets and Magic on BBC3, guess who was there!! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! And you can also see myself, my sister and my Dad in the que!

Morgana Blue dress

Hey! Sorry I haven't been active for a while. Been on holiday in Menorca!

So, here we go on with another of Morgana's favourite dresses: her blue one.

This dress is just like her purple and blue one, except its all blue. The overcoat is a blue chiffon and extends to a long tail at the back. The actual dress is again very simple, in a blue satin with 2 birds on the bust and a pattern. A gold dragon clasp helps the coat to stay on.

BBC Merlin's Morgana-Part 1

Hey everyone!

So I thought I should finally start making notes on costumes, so here it goes.

Up first is Morgana's blue and purple dress from BBC Merlin Series 1. This is one of Morgana's favourite dresses. It includes a blue chiffon coat that goes over the purple dress and fastens just below the bust with a gold buckle belt. Just before the elbow are gold bands. Underneath the sleeves, she wears gold gauntlets. The purple dress itself is quite simple and is made of purple satin. It includes a gold leave motif on the bust.

In this last picture it looks as if Angel uses the dress in series 2

I will update more soon!!
