a bunch of random non-costume stuff

I was digging through old hard drives yesterday looking for some old pics for a Christmas project and came across a bunch of random pics I've never uploaded for anything. So this is a post about that. If this isn't interesting to you, sorry, it's my blog I do what I want. My wedding dress! I took these to show people on my wedding LJ back in 2008 but I never ...

Sci-Fi Night, Leia progress, etc

It's the usual post-weekend Monday update. First up! Saturday night we went to Sci-Fi night with the Riverkings. When they say "take a silly picture" I never know what to do LOL It was fun, Chase wants to go to another game just to sit and watch. Which brings me to Leia updates.... This was probably the second-to-last troop for my Leia costume. I figure The Last Jedi opening night ...

More Leia progress, and an ambulance

So yesterday morning was a little weird. I was on the ramp getting off the interstate on my way work, sitting in a line at the light waiting to turn left. I heard an ambulance siren.... look around try to see where it's coming from. Turned out it was coming up the ramp behind me, but I was 2nd in a line of cars so there was nowhere to go. ...

Every weekend should be a 4 day weekend

What a nice weekend. We barely did anything. Thanksgiving day we got up and headed to family lunch. I curled my hair overnight and it looked cute for a couple of hours. It was pretty much deflated by the time we got home. After we got home and I had my own MST3K Turkey Day -- Hercules Unchained, The Brain That Wouldn't Die, Jack Frost, part of Final Sacrifice. ...

Leia progress, etc

My patreon finally has some content on it! Going forward I'll be saving my instagram story breakdowns over there after they've expired on IG, and I have a slightly more "walk through" recap of my new Leia dress construction so far up over there, too. I plan on doing this with all of my costumes - more in-depth, step-by-step instruction as well as the breakdown videos. If I can think ...

MCFC, ‘Tis the Season, a lost ID, lost power, and lost my mind

This weekend was nuts. But let's ease into it with a picture of Luna. Friday was a normal Friday at work, just steadily busy, until around 2 it was like the world went mad and like 10 hectic problems developed at once. And I had to leave on time because I was on a tight schedule. I ended up leaving about 5 minutes late, not terrible. Headed on out to pick up Kevin... ...

Leia progress!

I felt kinda off-and-on weird all weekend, I'm chalking it up to upping my dose of one of my medications. One second I'd be freezing cold and then suddenly burning up and drenched in sweat. One second ready to go out and ride my bike for an hour and the next my head pounded/can't keep my eyes open. Ugh! Very frustrating. But I did finally make some headway on ...

I got my Anne pics uploaded last night!! OMG I love them. I already talked about our trials just getting the photos so I won't get into that again. Let's just get to the pictures. Have I mentioned how cold it was? OMG it was so cold that day. I also mentioned in the post link above how I messed up my makeup that morning -- I had to take ...

Finding Tobey, more pics

Another busy weekend!! Friday night we had the Indie Memphis red carpet event! So Thursday night I washed my hair and put it up in curlers. Got up the next morning and it was rainy and humid and I knew if I took them down before work, my curls would be GONE by that night. So I left my curlers in and went to work LOL MY TIKI BIRD DRESS ...

Halloween, Part 2

Well this was probably the most disappointing Halloween in a long time. Since the only people who see me at my job are my coworker and my boss, and it was cold that day... I just wore Chase's Spike kigu to work over regular clothes. Over the weekend I decided that for Halloween night, I'd wear my DCNU Wonder Woman to hand out candy. It needed some repairs, so I ...
