Well, you know, I really wasn't sure about how this was going to turn out. This was my stress costume this year that I was still slapping together at the 11th hour and had gotten to the point of, "I don't care, just finish it," you know? So I was pretty surprised I actually liked how it turned out. All that fabric DOES make me look like a marshmellow, and ...
It would figure; the simplest costume is the one I screw up. It really needs some tweaks before I wear it again - I was really unhappy with the way the trim was laying especially on the bustline, so I want to switch out for something not so bulky that will lay flat. It was also causing the back to hang funny. Also needs rehemmed - it was too long ...
4 Days After: Somewhere you liked to eat while at DragonCon Vortex! I love going here, good food. (I thought I had a picture of Kevin eating here at Momocon but i can't find it.) We also like Max Lager's. This year those were the only two major places we ate - we brought a mini fridge with us and ate a lot of sandwiches and avoided the food court as ...
3 Days After: Your favorite guest from this year This year I got Joel, Frank and Trace's autographs on Tom Servo, so they'll be my pick of course. And Trace drew Crow which made my Crow-fangirl self super happy.
I literally only have one decent picture of this costume. The other ones we took are blown out (can't see the star) and have I have a huge hair shadow across my face. I wore this for about 2 hours friday afternoon - and had intended on wearing it again late friday or saturday night. But I couldn't convince myself to get into it again, mostly because the latex mask was ...
Well this one isn't NEW but it's updated and I'm really pleased with it! When I first did the TARDIS dress back in 2011, my plan was to create a couple of other underskirts to wear with it, so I could be different versions of the TARDIS. Well I never got around to that - mostly because I hate painting - until this year. I had planned on wearing this in ...
First wrap-up on one of the new costumes - Peggy ! I was super pleased with how it came out. It was relatively comfortable - outside of being insanely hot. It wasn't too bad as long as I was inside - even in the oven that is the Marriott - but outside was no bueno. I had to leave both the USO Girls/WWII group and the Marvel universe shoots early ...
I wore Megara for a couple of hours Saturday afternoon. Nothing major. It was more comfortable than half of my other costumes and I almost put it back on Sunday, but decided I didn't feel like messing with the sandals. I wish I'd had time to fix the pleats on the dress before Dragoncon but alas - I'll have to aim for fixing them for a photoshoot.
Ya'll don't even KNOW how excited I was to bring Shadowcat back to Dragoncon. As I've mentioned, Shadowcat was my first superhero costume for my first Dragoncon in 2002. I've been playing around with the idea since Dragoncon 2011. But never had a good excuse to until I got to be part of a very awesome 80s X-Men group this past Saturday night! For a 13 year old costume it's held up REMARKABLY ...
I wore this both Thursday night - to take advantage of my crazy hair from Marie Antoinette - and Saturday afternoon (only for a few minutes). I've got a few more pics of Dr F coming soon from Chase. I didn't wear it terribly long on Thursday because Tom made my arm pretty sore LOL And I threw it on just for fun Sat afternoon when I got Joel, Trace ...
