Romana I Ribos Operation References
I’ve been digging today, trying to find the best reference I could for the brooch-thing on the front of the Romana Ribos Operation dress. And after digging for hours I realised there isn’t really one good place with a collection of photos of this dress. So I thought I’d share the best references I have of the costume for anyone…

Memorial Day Weekend
I hope everyone had a great holiday weekend. After four days of sleeping in, it was really hard to get up and come to work this morning. Saturday we went to Chris & Leah’s wedding in Nashville. It was really pretty – wish we could have stayed longer but we drove back home that night. It was a fun quick…

Dragoncon questionnaire
Dragon*Con Questionnaire What’s your badge name? kelldar I think it is anyway. I may have changed it this year. I can’t remember at all. Where are you staying? Marriott – been there every year since 2002. What day are you arriving/leaving? Arriving Wednesday leaving either Monday or Tuesday. Will you be cosplaying? What days? As whom? (edit: photo link was…

A flashback
I know it’s not throwback thursday but my dad emailed me this old picture he found: My old futon bunk bed, my old computer (I spent many an hour playing Sims 1 and doing artwork on that computer), all my Beatles posters, and baby Indy (with colour on her face!) looking up at the stuffed Husky I had gotten in…

Thinking
I was thinking of making Donna’s Runaway Bride costume for Dragoncon. That’s NOT the 4th costume I had in mind; but it would be cheaper and quicker to make. It’s going in the maybe pile for now – I’ll see how things are looking in July. I’d definitely make it instead of buying something; it would be an easy two…

Romana I progress…
So as I mentioned I completely screwed up the front of my Romana dress and had to order more fabric to re-do it (so; in case you’re counting, that’s 16 yards worth of fabric I’ve poured into this dress thus far.) I remade the front section yesterday; I decided to do the pleated section has a separate piece on top…

Hair part 2
I didn’t think my hair was that much longer, but when I compare it to 2011, yeah, my hair practically looks shoulder length in 2011 pics. Which means it only took me 4 years to get over the hair chop of 2009 😛 Boy did I regret that hair cut.

Dragoncon 2013 Costumes
So, I have my Dragoncon costume schedule pretty much finalized. Not sure I’m going to do that fourth one I mentioned; just depends on time and money. But, here’s what we stand on them: 1. Romana I As you can see from my most recent post I messed it up! LOL. I ordered more fabric and I’m hoping to have…

Romana updates
Well I kinda messed up my Romana dress this weekend and had to order more fabric last night. So there’s really nothing to post about the dress besides that. I did start playing with the cape. I’m going to need more feathers, but I was just getting an idea of what it was going to look like:

My Least-Worn Costumes
This one was a lot harder to compile than the Most-Worn. I’ve had a ton of costumes I’ve only worn once or twice, for various reasons. I pared down the list by not including costumes that are too recent to have been worn more than once or twice, or old costumes I only made for fun, shot a few pics,…

Costumes I’ve worn the most
I knew a couple of my costumes I’ve worn the most, but when I actually counted I was surprised by some of the other “top 5.” To be fair, I didn’t count the times I wore something to a local 501st/RL troop; if I had, Leia would be at #1. The only reason I didn’t count them was because I…

FCBD and May the Fourth
This past weekend we went up to Jackson for two events! Free Comic Book Day at Books-a-Million, and Star Wars Night with the Jackson Generals. We stayed friday through sunday with my grandparents, which is always fun. I was hoping they’d get to come out and see us at the baseball game but unfortunately the rain kept them home! Anyway,…

Dragoncon Thinking
Now that C2E2 is over I can start planning Dragoncon stuff. I’m only planning on making 4 new costumes for myself; maybe only 3. I’ve got a work schedule worked out, and if I finish the 3 first ones by August, then I’ll go ahead and tackle the 4th (the 4th will be easy to make; it’s just budgeting factors.)…

c2e2 pics – part 2!
I got the photos from my camera uploaded last night! First up, here’s the finished Fionna costume. It was so comfortable and I can’t wait to wear it again at Dragoncon. I didn’t get a lot of shots of it at C2E2 so I may have to do a photoshoot before then. The guy doing the chalk art all weekend…

Home from C2E2!
We had a good weekend in Chicago 🙂 But I’m glad to be home! I haven’t got my pictures downloaded yet, but I’ve got a handful of photos off my phone to share right now. I’ll post the rest in another entry later on! We left Thursday night, and we were on a TINY plane! Kevin and Chase were bumping…

Then & Now: a costume meme

a hulk skateboard?
I cleaned out my bag this morning in preparation to switch to my TARDIS purse for Chicago next weekend. This isn’t the weirdest haul I’ve ever seen but I thought I’d take a pic: Wallet Bp gift card a ton of receipts (already thrown away before the picture) a business card from Greyhound Adoptions camera charger chapstick 4 (!) medication…
