Alllllmost done. A couple of more hours tonight and it should be back to fully functional. Most of the stuff left strewn around my tables and the floor are things I can't figure out where to put... a lot of the photos were on the wall and I can't decide if I want to put them back on the wall or not. And since I got rid of the CD ...
I woke up this morning feeling GREAT! Now I'm back to feeling sluggish and tired with a slight headache. Stupid schizo weather. I've GOT to get my sewing room finished tonight so I can get some sewing done ASAP - I've got a couple of American Girl doll sized costumes to make before this weekend. Which means I probably won't get around to posting photoshoot pics until after that - ...
Today's question is... Can I rent/borrow your costumes? I'm mostly answering this question so I have a post to point people towards when they do actually ask this - usually around Halloween, or people asking to borrow/use my costumes for Halloween parties/events, or fanfilms, photoshoots, etc. I'm going to try to be as nice as possible in this post so don't read any sarcasm or ill-intent into ...
When did you start cosplaying? You could either say 1998 or 1999, depending on how strict your definition of "cosplaying" is. See next question.... What was your first cosplay? 1998 I put together a costume based on my own comic book character. It was the first time in a few years I'd actually made an attempt at a Halloween costume and it was somewhat last minute and a lot of closet pieces, but ...
Today's question is... What's in your repair kit? My repair kit is pretty subjective to the costumes I'm taking; I tend to think of what can go wrong on this costume, and make sure I bring stuff to repair it if need be. My husband also carries a completely separate repair kit of his own, and I never know what's in that, LOL. Here it is in it's post-Dragoncon glory. ...
Trying to get my sewing room clean; it's slow going. I've been trying to tackle it for over a month now. I did have to rearrange my patterns. I was bursting at the seams - I used to keep them in 3 little fabric square drawers, with some oversized ones stuffed under one of my chest-of-drawers and more in plastic bins. I moved them all over to the bigger drawers of ...
I got my new Donna wig in!!! It was so cold out yesterday that when I got it out the mail and opened it up and put it on my head, it was like putting a block of ice on my head. I trimmed the bangs up real quick, and straightened it a bit. The bangs still need some clean-up but I'm pretty happy with it. It mostly helps my ...
Today's question is... Something that wasn't asked but I wanted to talk about anyway because I'm a grumpy old lady. In my adult life, I've gone to dozens of fan conventions, of all sizes and genres. And I've seen a lot of people act like idiots. Young and old fans alike. A con is a great place to let your hair down, and have fun with your fellow geeks and ...
Today's question is... Should I make a facebook fan page for my cosplay? It's really dependent on your situation; namely, how much do you want to keep your private life separate from "con life," and how many friends request are you getting from the costume/convention community? For some reason, I've seen some people think fanpage = ego. This really isn't the case. Honestly if we could have as many friends ...

Still messing with more of them in between ...
