Sleeping Beauty is coming along, I’m *really* hoping to have it finished by next weekend, but if it’s not finished, oh well. I’ve got the dress basically put together, I need to attach the sleeves, attach the skirt to the bodice section and hem it, and get the zipper put in. I’m hoping to do most of those tonight. For the corset section I need to first of all figure out my collar, and the pointed section, and get those made and then I can finish the lining and get the boning put in. That’s where most of the work is left. I got my wig, It just needs the bangs poofed a little more and curled on the ends, and Chase has my tiara and necklace he made for me aaaaages ago that just need painted. I’m pretty pleased with it all so far.
I’m putting together a sort-of Joker for Kevin, everyone wants him to be movie-based Joker so he’s doing that for Halloween, but later on down the road it’s going to be for a comic version. He bought a suit at Goodwill and some shoes, I just need to finish putting together the rest of it for him so he can wear it to work on Halloween day…. I’m going to wear my Poison Ivy corset & wig that day to “match” him… just wear it with jeans LOL
Halloween events… I really want to find a costume contest to take Indy to LOL I found one but we’ve already got something else going on that night. I need to look at some of the other pet stores.
Next Saturday morning we’ve got the Race for the Cure – which is not a costume thing, we are actually DOING it, OMG. I know I’m not going to be able to finish it, but it’ll be fun.
After that, later in the evening, we are going to head to our local outdoor mall, who is having a big Halloween event with trick-or-treating at the stores and stuff – Chase is probably going to wear Vader and I’m hoping to wear Sleeping Beauty… but if that doesn’t work out I’ll wear Belle or something.
Halloween night proper we’ll be handing out candy at my aunt’s house like usual… then we are thinking of getting tickets and going to the “Black Cat Bash” – a party at the zoo, it’s the first year they’re doing it and it sounds like fun.
Nov 1 is our church’s trunk-or-treat, so we’ll go to that, and then after that’s died down the whole gang is coming over to our place for a little Halloween get-together.
Nov 15 we’re going to a Make-a-Wish event in Jonesboro, AR. It looks like a lot of fun, I’m looking forward to it, and then the weekend of Thanksgiving is the big hockey game Sci-Fi night we’re doing. I’m hoping to have Ahsoka done but whether or not that happens is anybody’s guess!
I’ll post some in-progress pics later…
