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 ...
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 ...
IT'S HALLOWEEN YALL! We had a really fun weekend. Friday night started with cooking dinner and settling in on the couch to start watching Stranger Things 2. We got through 2 episodes that night. Saturday morning we slept in a bit, and then I started getting ready. (How to tell a photoshoot is happening at my house) We had very pleasant weather last week (70s mostly) and then overnight Friday it got ...
Finished up the last bit of the nun and delivered yesterday. Fingers crossed everything fits and works ok! Chase was a very good sport and tried it all on for me so I could make sure the veil attachment worked and double check my sleeve and hem measurements. I had to take it with me to play practice to finish the hand-sewing on the veil. I finished while sitting in ...
Spent the last week going to play practice, having a migraine, and working on the nun. The robe isn't much to look at. Followed the pattern exactly for this -- I did make it a little bigger because I'd rather work down than have it be too small. This is a really thin black satin and I there are times it's almost leather-like, especially when interfaced, so I think that's ...
Last week was nuts. We had Kes starting Saturday and Kevin starting tuesday. I was working overtime plus having to go after work to check on this or that meant I wasn't getting home most nights until 6-6:30. So I was totally exhausted every single night. I was working overtime so I could be off on Friday -- spent the day helping Kristie with her book stuff, went out to ...
I'm BACK!!! And so glad to be back. Here's a really long rambly post about my Vegas trip, weekend stuff... a whole lot of stuff NOT about costumes. Well, a little bit about costumes when you get to Sunday. First off look at my super happy Pumpkin man! And mom found these while cleaning out something and gave them to me. I guess I have Thanksgiving decorations now, LOL. So ...
Last bit of photoshoot! THAT WIG *_* I have the portfolio all updated, everything from Dragon Con is now finished. Yay! I have to go to Vegas for work next week. Boo. Then I'll be swinging into Halloween stuff!! Making a nun costume for a friend! And also helping out with the set for a Christmas play (shows are in mid-November). So it'll be busy. After Halloween my first projects will ...
So Friday night we threw up the smaller backdrop and quickly reshot Medieval Leia and TFA Leia. They turned out MUCH MUCH better. No more harsh shadows from the buns across my face and TFA dress isn't blown out. I got medieval Leia pics back and uploaded yesterday. So I'll have her portfolio page updated sometime soon. I'm hoping to have TFA Leia tomorrow. But before my photoshoot, I drove ...
I have more photoshoot pictures!! Unfortunately some of them did not turn out. TFA Leia's pics not turning out is my fault - because of the wrinkles I didn't think to iron out. So we are going to reshoot that one. Then, the lights on medieval Leia were weird and made the whole thing look super weird, so while we're redoing TFA Leia we're going to redo medieval Leia, too. ...
