Medieval Leia, birthday stuff

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 ...

8 miles outta memphis and I got no spare

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. ...

MCX, photoshoot, Young Frankenstein, etc

So my high school reunion is coming up. Am I going? Anyway lots to talk about from this weekend!! Friday night Chase & I had tickets to go see Young Frankenstein at Elmwood Cemetery. Coolers were welcome so we packed up sandwiches and soup and camp chairs and headed down there. I thought it might be chilly at night by the time this rolled around by temps are still high ...

Downton and other stuff

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 ...

dragoncon 2017

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. ...

i wanna go

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 ...

we can dress real neat from our hats to our feet

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 ...

a gigantic post

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 ...

a pretty girl is like a melody

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 ...
