Today's question is... how do you decide what costume you're going to wear to a convention? I've touched on this a little bit in other posts, but I thought I'd go ahead and do a full FAQ Friday on the subject! Picking a costume for a con or event doesn't seem like it should even be a question, really - but sometimes you really do have to put some thought ...
So, didn't do much for Halloween this year. I did a sort-of Ginny Weasley costume for work - my cousin's Harry sweater (so it was nice and big and baggy) over a yellow plaid button-up, a grey knit skirt, black tights and my grey uggs with my red/yellow gryffindor socks sticking out of the top. It was very comfortable - but I got to work and realized I was ...
Once again I'm posting 2 Leia hair tutorials today - again since these are similar I figure I'd post them together! Today I'm doing the Rebel/Endor hairstyle and the Hoth hairstyle - this post is for the Hoth braids :) My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It's been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles - most of my Leia costumes I did 2005-2007ish. I don't ...

Thinking about what to wear to MCFC - I'm not staying on site, so I'll have to go home to change, which limits things to costumes that are comfortable for several hours and can be worn in the car. I'm thinking about: Marie Antoinette TARDIS Wasp Peggy Megara Trillian Valkyrie Marvel Girl That's a decent selection, I think.
I love Halloween. It's my favourite holiday. I love dressing up (obviously), spooky stories, fun decorations, parties, trick-or-treating, all of it. I do wish Halloween was still the same way it was when I was a kid - it's become really watered down over the past couple of decades. Sad. Also, there is absolutely jack for grown-ups to do unless you go to a bar or somebody's party. We've tried ...
Got the rest of my pics uploaded last night! A few pics of Sarah Sanderson from friday night: Time Lords visiting the Doctor... Kevin really was out of his element in this costume - the collar was uncomfortable for him, he had trouble walking in it - but he FELT really cool, haha. Peggy with a couple of Caps: I think I may need to go a little shorter on ...
Got back home late last night from GMX! I only have my iphone photos so far - which is mostly pictures of Kevin - but tonight I'll download the pics off my camera. (Chase forgot his flash so no nice pictures from this weekend, sadly) In the meantime, here's my little recap and a handful of Kevin pictures. Friday we set off after work, listening to Harry Potter the whole ...
Today I'm posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays - the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It's been a long time since I actively studied these hairstyles - most of my Leia costumes I did 2005-2007ish. I don't claim them to be 100% accurate then ...
Today I'm posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays - the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle! These 3 are all share a similar base, so I decided to post them all together. I apologize for being repetitious, but since these 3 tutorials share a common base, I'll just be copying some of the same directions and photos from the other guides. My notes for all of these Leia tutorials: -It's ...
