Finished Costume: The Tightrope Walker

I've finished my Lillian Gracey/Sally Slater/Daisy de la Cruz (just call her the Tightrope Walker, ok?) from the Haunted Mansion costume and have added it to my portfolio!

Dragoncon Pics Part 2, Tightrope Walker Updates

Chase sent me over his pics he took at Dragon Con - not many, but got some nice ones of my Tightrope Walker. Getting ready in the room (standing up after putting my shoes on, looks like): Trying to fix that one weird pleat before we took photos: Full length: I'm not so sure I like this photo yet I do like the photo. Such a conundrum. This one is ...

Dragon Con Photos Round One

We're back!!! Ok so I don't have much to share in the first post. But it's enough to recap Saturday at least. Friday I took off work, finished packing, cleaned the house, went for a swim: Tiniest Dragoncon load EVER. Saturday morning we loaded up the car and were on the road by 6 AM. We got into Atlanta right at 1, though it took us another 20-30 minutes to make it ...

Argh

When I'm stuck at work and everybody else is at Dragon Con Ugh! I've been totally OK with it up until today. Seeing everybody arriving and missing out... I thought Friday would be the tough day but no, it's today. I repleated my Tightrope Walker skirt last night. Went faster than I expected. I got my suitcase for Disney repacked last night. Holy crap is it heavy. But everything is ...

The Disney and the DragonCon

I haven't posted much lately... haven't had much of anything to post! Went to my grandma's for the weekend. Came back Saturday just to go to the Ren Faire with friends (I said I'd do it... I did it)... this time I wasn't messing around. No attempt at curls, just a ponytail. Much better. Threw my flower crown I got at Megacon on, too. Ash and I watched Paolo Garbanzo ...

Just another picture of my 7 Dwarfs skirt

Ignore the packing going on behind me. I got the hook and eye attached and the sweater I'd been wanting from modcloth came, so I put it all on together. I do wish I had some yellow flats I could add red bows to to wear with it :) Last night I packed all my clothes for the trip which was probably dumb because I'll likely have to break into it ...

Hooks and eyes oh my

I took these pics for a facebook last night so I thought I'd share them here, too, and expound on my post. Several years ago I was obsessed with the different variations of Disney Princess costumes at the parks. I collected photos from all the parks, the parades/stage show/meet-and-greet variations... I had a huge collection saved on my computer. Somewhere during that brief obsession I came across a ...

Ren Faire, boredom, and packing

I've never had free time in August. It's so weird. I was actually bored this weekend because I had no costumes to work on. And we had time to go to the Ren Faire Saturday! Unfortunately we totally picked the wrong day today. We were torn between Sat and Sun based on the weather, but Sat ended up working better for us so we just grabbed umbrellas and went. I ...

Bricks and Minifigs Event

Got Chase's pics from Saturday uploaded! Sometimes when I know I'm in the background of a photo Chase is taking I just stare at him. Trying to convince a little boy which Star Wars Lego he should get... I was pushing for Leia... the stormtroopers were pushing for more stormtroopers.

Dragon Con 2002 Look Back

I know I've done similar before... and this won't be just a rehashing of my original "con report." A couple of weeks ago when I was looking at old Hermione photos for instagram, I was flipping through them and thinking, "oh yeah, that was the night before I left for the midnight show, I refused to wear makeup or a skirt, so I wore jeans and did nothing with my ...
