Padme Senate art and More Redbirds Pics

today's princess is... Padme. Shocker, I know. I got Chase's pics from the Redbirds game, and I also nicked a couple that the Redbirds team sent to us. Here's my fav from the Redbirds: And Chase's... We just look like we're having a nice conversation LOL Vader throwing the opening pitch, and me walking out onto the field.... I just liked this pic of Rockey... it had starting drizzling. I ...

eyelashes are not bugs

today we have Padme... So the truth is I wear fake eyelashes with most of my costumes. This is for two reasons: the first, I have thin, fine eyelashes that, while they're actually decently long, they just don't look like much even with mascara. Everyday wear, mascara is fine, but not for costuming/getting your pic taken, etc. And secondly, I tend to look like a deer in headlights when ...

Amidala Senate art

I only have one more episode 1 outfit to go :) So I've changed up my Dragoncon costume plans a bit. I need to update the in-progress page because of it. I've dropped two costumes and added one definite, one maybe. The two I dropped are Ame-Comi Black Canary and Batgirl. Batgirl I dropped because #1, the expense - if I drop it, it frees up a lot of money to spend on ...

Redbirds Troop pics

Last night we did Star Wars night at the Memphis Redbirds' baseball game. It was a lot of fun - more than I expected! We took pics with guests and Darth Vader threw out the opening pitch. We set up right in the middle of the opening area of the park - we posed for about an hour before heading in for the game. I got a lot of hugs ...

Padme nightgown art & Crazy Emails

Yesterday I got an email from someone who has sent me emails a few times in the past - always just forwarded stuff, nothing important, I assumed this person was someone who had emailed me once ages ago and I'd been saved in their address book, so I get this stuff they forward. Well that person sent me two emails with a bunch of pictures of household furniture and stuff... ...

Bruises, Randomness, Art

Things have been busy. My great-great aunt Louise died earlier this week. She was 95. Her husband, my great-great uncle died in 1964 so I never knew him. The graveside service was interesting. It was pouring rain and we were huddled under a leaking tent, but the minister who spoke was straight out of a movie, an old-fashioned country minister, with a great voice and calling us "ya'll." So I have a ...
