    She-Ra shopping

    Went to Hobby Lobby (or, Hooby Looby as I originally typed) and got a few things today… beads and necklace stuff to start on my Lulu jewelry, and gold Friendly Plastic for She-Ra. They don’t carry just regular Friendly Plastic anymore… all they have are the coloured strips. I didn’t really matter what colour I got, since it’s going to…

    when i got carded

    Ok, now that I’ve gotten the survey and the story out of the way, I can tell about what I did yesterday. Ash and I went to Barnes and Noble so she could get a couple of books she needed for school. Well, she ended up not buying anything, and I ended up walking out with a Marx Brothers CD…

    when the pee didn’t soak in

    Random Story That I May Have Already Told #33 The “Last Time You Laughed Til You Cried” bit in that survey made me think of this. So as I’m sure I’ve mentioned 20 times, my parents and my aunt and uncle and all their friends used to get together friday nights to play D&D. Us kids would sit in the…

    Fabric, Patterns and Monkeys

    Didn’t get Lulu fabric this weekend as I thought I was going to… I decided to wait and see if it goes on sale. I did find out the fur I wanted for it is $49 a yard! Geezus. Forget that. I did buy three patterns. It was expensive. Got a pattern for lulu’s top (it’s perfect! I was very…

    when i was anxious about flying

    Oh, I forgot! Could someone who has flown recently (since September 11) tell me how the security check goes, the deal with carry-ons and all that? I’m going to have to fly twice this year, at least (to Animazement and Otakon) and I want to know these things so that I can plan ahead. Should I just not carry anything…

    Upcoming Costume Ideas…

    Hmm… I’m gonna go out into the woods and take some new pictures of my elf costume this afternoon. Ash and I talked for a long time about our costumes at the basketball game saturday night. I can’t find the stupid piece of paper where I wrote it all down, but Ash is looking at Meryl, pink outfit Ling Xiaoyu,…

    Which Wig for She-ra?

    Does the “Marilyn Blonde” Wig on this page: http://www.vavoom-gifts.com/bettie.html look enough like She-Ra’s hair? I think I’m going to get it, and try to curl it up a little more to give it a little more wave. I don’t want to spend a lot on this wig and the price on this one is much better than the ones I’ve…

    when i made cosplay plans

    All right, pardon me but I gotta spill a little cosplay talk into Whisky. Not because I want to annoy you, no, it’s because I need your opinion! The costumes I’m planning for next year… er, THIS year are: Rally Vincent (mostly done, will be won when bored at AZ), Misato’s NERV uniform (for MidSouthCon in march) She-Ra (MidSouthcon in…

    Otakon 02 ahoy

    YAY!!!! My aunt had been calling around in Baltimore trying to find a suitable hotel for us to stay at for Otakon. She’d called lots of places, and told me when she found one she was going to go ahead and book the rooms. Yesterday I realised something, I’d forgotten to tell her to make sure it was really close…
