see-saw
When I was a kid, probably 6 or 7 years old, I had this giant metal see-saw. I mean when I was a kid it looked huge, it had these big handlebars on the sides that probably came up to around my waist if I were standing next to it. At some point I got it in my head that…

Dragoncon Costumes: Everything Else
Thoughts & Pics on all the “old” stuff I wore this year… 1. Belle I wore Belle Friday morning for a while. Had wanted to wear it again but didn’t get a chance. (Well, that’s a lie, there were chances… I just didn’t have the energy for it!) I love how it looks with my Marie Antoinette hoops, and really…

New Costume: Donna Noble Runaway Bride
I’ve finished my Runaway Bride Donna costume and have added it to my portfolio! I ended up really loving this costume! It’s actually really comfortable. I can also get away with wearing shorts under it so I DO have pockets, haha. I only took a handful of pictures of it, though. The first time I wore it Chase had the…

New Costume: Glimmer
I’ve finished my Glimmer costume and have added it to my portfolio! Glimmer is the main costume I was keeping secret — I got to be part of a big He-Man/She-Ra group at Dragoncon, and I picked Glimmer, and Chase was Bow. We wanted to make the costumes have a more realistic bent, which for me was difficult with a…

New Costume: Supergirl
I’ve finished my 70s Supergirl costume and have added it to my portfolio! My take on 70s Supergirl ended up being a lot of fun to wear and pretty comfy, too! The boots (which were just my Scarlet Witch boots) are a bit of a pain, but not the worst. It was so hot at Dragoncon this year the third…

New Costume: Trillian
I’ve finished our Trillian and Zaphod costumes and have added them to my portfolio! So Trillian and Zaphod ended up being a lot of fun! We did have a handful of people who were excited to see Hitchhiker’s Guide costumes, including one very drunk person who was excited to see people from “the fish movie” and one who told he…

New Costume: Romana I
I’ve finished my Romana I costume and have added it to my portfolio! I was really, really happy with how my Romana costume turned out. I had expected to be “satisfied” with it – I wasn’t 100% sure about it before the con but figured it’d all be ok, so I was surprised to get it all on, and then…

Dragoncon 2013!
Well I’ve been home from Dragoncon for a few days but haven’t posted a thing here – sorry! It was a good year. Even though I felt like i was a day ahead the whole time (Thursday felt like Friday, Friday felt like Saturday) by the end of it, it felt like it had rushed by way too fast. I…

In which Chase holds props
We worked on costumes for the past 2 1/2 days and I only have two photos to show today. First, I finished my Fionna sword! Whee! And here’s the staff for my last costume. I took pictures of some other things but the paint needed touching up very badly so I didn’t post them. Another thing to add to the…

Random Randoms
Worked on some different stuff last night. I finally finished my Romana I brooch and got it attached! About time, I think I’ve been done with everything else on it for a few weeks now. Overall really happy with it. Although could I have taken a worse picture? Why didn’t I at least stick it on the dress form that…

Updated: Dragoncon 2013 Schedule
All right! We leave for DragonCon in a week, so here’s my final costume list, and a semi-schedule. (Sorry, the image that was originally here was lost in a server move. I replaced it with an older one that doesn’t quite match up but still kinda works.) Wednesday night: Batgirl – private photoshoot Thursday: Early evening – Romana I for…

My hands are covered in purple and brown paint, and…

More from yesterday
SO I already posted about yesterday a bit, but here’s some more. I was up really early yesterday thanks to a migraine, so I got up and ran out and bought a garment rack. It’s been driving me crazy and holding up my packing progress to not be able to bring my costumes I need to hang up into the…

Belle
Today is pack & repair day since I have the house to myself. I’ve taken over the living room, it looks like my costume closet exploded in here. Chase will be happy to read that. Anyway, first order of business was to fix a fit issue I’ve always had with my Marie Antoinette hoops. The waist was always way too…

FAQ Friday: Transporting Costumes
Today’s question is… How do you transport so many costumes to a convention? This is a question I get a lot, especially when people see me bringing like 12-14 costumes to a convention like Dragoncon! Transporting Costumes when Flying I rarely fly to conventions anymore, but back in the day I flew a lot. My first few conventions I had…
