So Friday at Dragon Con last week, I almost fell while wearing Dolores. I was going down those short steps between the Hyatt and the food court, there by the chair lift, and I misjudged my step and nearly fell. I managed to grab onto the rail and keep myself from totally falling over... but managed to twist my foot in my effort to stay up right. I thought, oh ...
Well because I was so lazy about taking photos of my own costumes I'm finding it really hard to update my portfolio! I don't have good enough pics to make the website pieces. Chase said we could do a photoshoot of all 4 of my new costumes soon, so I will probably hold off ACTUALLY updating until I have those photos. But in the meantime my portfolio pages are up... they're ...
Uggggggggh I'm back at work today and feel like a zombie. Came back to a TON of stuff too so double Uggggggggh. BUT! It's time for this year's Dragon Con recap. So Chase had originally planned to be doing a scooter trip that weekend, so we were both going to be out of town - but Hurricane Harvey put a stop to his trip, so he stayed home all weekend. ...
Where's my Joey "I Wanna Go" gif? There it is. The past two years when we haven't been doing a "full" Dragon Con I've been totally fine with it up until it's upon me. I've been totally fine with not being there today. Up until today. Now I'm not ok! Especially since I'm sitting at work. 1.5 hours down, 6.5 left to go.... ugh. I don't know if it's really good or ...
It's dcon time. Well almost. Uuuuugh I still have to get through a day and a half of work. I just wanna GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO seeing everybody already on the road or already there is driving me crazy. I've got everything packed and ready to go, except the headdress since I'm still hand-sewing on it... I've got a space left for it in my duffel bag. I've got it down to: The 1 ...
Finished up a few things last night. Got it all packed up. Still working on Lucy's headdress -- but I think that's about it at this point. I've got to finish the handsewing on that and it's taking forever and making my fingers ache. Everything is packed except for that lower part of the headdress (that I'm still sewing on), and my regular clothes: I've got everything in this one ...
Warning you now, I have a ton of photos today. Going to start with probably the least interesting thing. Sims screencaps. And they're not even screencaps. I literally just took photos of my monitor, because I'm lazy. It never fails that anytime I'm in the final crunch of finishing stuff before a deadline, my brain is like, "Ok, let's play the Sims now." I started up a new game this ...
Ok so I promised today I'd post more about the pink thing. So this thing has a massive, giant head-dress. It's a showgirl costume basically. Comically large head-dress, if that gives you a hint. So I wanted to find something to use as a base to build it off of. I found this massive crown on amazon: And on me: I stripped all the decoration off and made a framework ...
LOL I have apparently already had 10 other posts named "Blah." This is "blah 11." I am almost done with everything. Should be finished up this weekend... in fact everything is looking good enough that I'm switching my days off around. I'd originally put down I'd be off next Thursday and Friday (even though we aren't leaving til Friday). I'd planned to have that Thursday off to finish up last minute stuff, ...
So as I've mentioned I won't be there Thursday - we aren't coming in until Friday morning, we'll probably get into town around 1 and after getting to the room, getting our badges - probably won't be "done" and ready to actually do stuff til like 3 probably. At the moment, here's what I'm definitely bringing: The Pink Thing Mon Mothma TFA Leia Medieval Leia Bespin Leia Dolores Trillian Donna - Journey's ...
