    So here’s my Ame-Comi Supergirl with the new wig: And here’s one of me and Kevin: It was freaking COLD in the hotel so I didn’t stay in it long. I was freezing to death! I put on Wonder Girl after that, and ended up wearing my hoodie over it most of the time. Here’s Wonder Girl: Me with the…

    GMX 2010 pics!

    I only have a few pics up so far, but here’s a few fun ones. Kevin as Superboy: I used that black Halloween hairspray stuff on his hair. It was nasty. I used up the whole bottle spraying his head, and it first it looked good, but after an hour or so it started to turn grey-ish blue. Then I…

    GMX 2010 Plans, Wonder Woman art

    Here’s the WW I did for our team’s Race for the Cure shirts. (EDIT: Unfortunately this picture appears to have been lost in my move from flickr to smugmug. Sorry ! 🙁 ) The shirt version is black and white, with a pink bodice, and pink ribbons on her gauntlets. So I finally packed for GMX – I got Jane,…

    here’s a pic: Forgot to say this this morning. Someone on the Beauty and the Beast LJ comm posted this cute keepsake box they have on the Disney Rewards site. The poster said they’d gone through their dvds and managed to get enoug points to get it. I thought, I might be able to do that too – and I…

    Went to Lauren & Jeremy’s wedding, it was really cool. Their reception was a the Old Daisy and it was masquerade themed. Here’s a pic of me and Chase, courtesy Ash: As you can see I wore my Marvel Girl mask and Chase somehow wore my Huntress mask. Didn’t think it would fit anyone else but me LOL. Sunday I…

    Artwork & Briar Rose updates

    Costumes: I got the boning put in my Briar Rose bodice, and got the outer layer cut out and put together. I pinned the two sides together but haven’t sewn them up yet. I need to pick up some grommets, some lining for the shirt, and get my skirt fabric. I found something I really liked at Joanns, but they…

    Tilt Shift video of the Dragoncon 2010 parade

    I just deleted my livejournal. Anyway – post-dragoncon… I’ve updated my site with all the new stuff. Here’s my flickr gallery – I still have more to add once Chase sends them to me. And here’s our video of the parade. It’s a time lapse tilt shift video, I think it’s pretty neat. In other news, working on Briar Rose…

    when did dragoncon become comic con?

    So I was up way too early this morning to join in on the “marriott landgrab” for Dragoncon 2011. When we first started going – for probably I’d say 2002-2005, we had no issues getting a room at the Marriott. There was no “room grab” day when the rooms went on sale – they just went on sale and people…

    last bit of birthday

    Had the gang over for my birthday last night. We watched the rifftrax of New Moon, and let me say our new(er) Bluray player is MUCH better at pausing and starting than our old cheapie dvd player! Chase made cheese fondue for dinner and chocolate for dessert, the chocolate one was the best chocolate he’s ever made, it was soo…

    Sewing Room Sketch

    So last night, I doodled this in photoshop. Not too many changes, mostly just cosmetic things – I want my bookshelf and side table painted white, and I want those two shelf/cubby hole things for holding stuff/as a tv stand. I also want to get my posters and pictures on the wall. I want to get all of that stuff…

    yeah so its my birthday today. This weekend were were in Nashville – Chase had a photoshoot all day Saturday, so I hung out in our hotel room (which was sweet! really nice) and finished up dragoncon pictures (or at least what chase had sent me). When he got done we got dressed and went to downtown Nashville to eat…

    the Supergirl wig curse

    I feel like I was cursed when it came to wigs this summer – and I couldn’t really talk about it since I was keeping Supergirl under wraps. I searched for a long time for the 2 wigs I needed for Gaga and the wig for Supergirl. The yellow wig was weirdly enough the easiest. I found a blonde wig…

    Thinking about costumes for next year..

    Dragoncon kinda signals the end of the “season” for me – I generally start thinking about next year around this time of the year. So here’s my thoughts for next year… Halloween/GMX: Not making anything new for GMX – but I’m going to make Briar Rose for Halloween. I need to finish off my new Aurora wig I bought last…
