For the first time ever… I got called “Vader” while wearing ANH Leia today.
I’m about to go upload a few more pics – just the ones from yesterday morning – in my flickr account (see the link in my previous entry).
I’ll work on some more of them tomorrow.
Yesterday morning I wore the new Lake dress… it went well. We did the RL breakfast and photoshoot, that was fun. Then I got into Slave Leia and Chase got in Vader and we headed back over for the Slave Leia shoot – as soon as that was over and we escaped and I put Mustafar Padme. We handed out pins at the Sansweet panel. We took a few pics of us together, then went and changed and went to dinner with some friends and took it easy for the rest of the night.
This morning it was up and out for the 501st picture. I tried to play it smart and do partial Leia buns (about 2/3 normal size) while I was in my stormtrooper, so I’d have less work to do when I came back to change into Leia (also as a way of padding my helmet!) and I ended up being Leia in Stormtrooper armor, which I kinda enjoyed LOL. However it was hard to get the helmet on over the hair (taking it off was fine) so after a couple of times the buns were looking kinda poor and I had to redo them when we got back to the room.
Speaking of which, it was HOT today!! Chase and I were burning up, both of us were in bad shape when we got back to the room. I put on regular Leia and we went back to the exhibit hall for a while, then got lunch and went back again. Right now we’re in the room resting before heading over for the masquerade.
All three of us have passes to the photo stage at the masq, so we’ll have lots of neat pictures to share afterwards! Hopefully I’ll get them up tomorrow night.
