    2005 Convention Schedule

    For Halloween this year- Meg from Hercules. Debating on getting a wig and styling it, or just slumming it and doing my own hair. I’m leaning towards my own hair, just to save money and since it’s just a halloween costume, anyway. MidSouthCon- Classic Leia for MidSouthCon next year. I want to make an actual *decent* looking one (as opposed…

    when I was in animerica

    Does anyone who reads this get Animerica? Apparently I’m in there this month; I’m guessing it’s Hild again. If anyone out there has that issue can you tell me what costume it is, whether it’s Hild or not? I’m not going to have a chance to go get it until this weekend, so I was just curious. ETA: Here it…

Indy and I went to the Germantown Arts and Crafts festivus thing today. She wore her Superman costume and MAN did everybody love her! Everybody was yelling “Superdog!” and kids kept coming…

    Lessa, hermione, Ozma and Padme updates

    Lessa – done, except the shoulder braid, which I will either do tonight or on the plane tomorrow. Won’t take but about another 10 minutes to do. I wore it on a test-run last week – it’s almost unbearably hot, but I like how it looks. We’ll see at dragoncon. Hermione – done. will need to be pressed again when…

    Updates & Dcon 04 Schedule

    Man the last few days have been hectic beyond belief! I’ve finished Ozma, Lessa and Hermione. I’ve made 2 sets of hobbit feet and painted two sets of hobbit ears and put in countless grommets (but that’s ok because I love putting in grommets!) Padme and Ash’s masquerade costume are the only things left. For Padme, the headpiece is nearly…

    when you complete your minor

    It seems to me that when you complete your minor, bells should go off and balloons and confetti should fall from the ceiling. But I guess that’s just me. Ash and I hung out today and did some costume stuff. Watched ROTJ. Then I went with mom and dad to the first meeting of what will hopefully become the Millington…

    when the bugs attacked

    I forgot to mention this is my costume journal! On saturday, dad was helping us with some costume stuff in the kitchen when all of a sudden he gave a shout and pulled his t-shirt off! He said something was biting him. I looked over and saw the culprit still hanging onto his shirt. It had bitten/stung him in 3…

    when there were boys loitering

    Lately I’ve been having a good time going around telling people “Hey, you know, I think you’d belong in Slytherin.” It gets people so riled up! It’s quite funny. Last evening I was going out to ride my bike, but I got out there and saw there were 4 or 5 boys just hanging around the end of the driveway.…
