when i had a migrainey birthday
Yesterday was pretty good. For my birthday Chase gave me the Galactic Heroes Endor Han and ewok set, plus the jacket we’d seen at the mall a few weeks ago! I wore it to work yesterday, because usually I’m freezing at work, but for some reason it was warm in the office yesterday so I didn’t get to wear it…

Upcoming Schedule
I thought I’d mention my upcoming costuming schedule. October 20-21 is the Nashville Comic/Horror Fest. They call it Horror Fest still, and I don’t know why – there really is nothing “horror” about it. It’s basically a comic show at the fairgrounds, with a few local artists, and last year – Thong Girl! Saturday night once it closes down, we…

Halloween and Belle updates
I’m hoping to go pick up fabric for my new blue Belle dress this weekend. I’d like to go ahead and get started on it, despite how burnt-out I was feeling right after Dragoncon. With no internet on my laptop, I keep looking for other things to do — and with Chase working on new helmet sculpts in the work…

when there was a laia shirt
SO I was looking at the Delia’s catalogue I got today, because I’m apparently secretly a 15 year old schoolgirl, and there was a pretty cool Star Wars t-shirt in there. However, it was labeled, “Princess Laia shirt.” D:

Lion King on stage!
so this past weekend was our weekend for relaxation, for the first time in a few months. We bought a video game (Justice League something-or-another) and actually finished it Sunday, it was fun. We enjoyed it so much we went to Target last night in search of another game — we ended up with X-Men Legends II, which we didn’t…

Costume Suggestions?
I’m looking for a costume to make for Dcon next year, something that will be easy and fun to dance in. Slave Leia was my #1 choice costume for that in previous years, but it’s gotten so oversaturated I wanted to find something else. I tried Wonder Woman and Belle’s pink dress this past con – Wonder Woman just because…

Sunday @ Dragoncon 2007
Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little. We had a 10am photoshoot with Eurobeat King, so we got up at 9 to get ready. Cath had moved to the girls’ room the day before, once Ash and Melissa had gotten up and settled – they were on the 36th floor!! LOL Ewok Leia is really fast & easy…

DRAGONCON 2007, PART TWO!
Saturday morning dawned annoyingly early. We had to get up at 7:30 in order to get up and dressed for the parade. Cath was smart – she got up, got dressed and got herself out of there before we even got started! I was going to wear Boushh for the 501st picture, and then walk with the helmet off with…

DRAGONCON 2007 PICS!
Well, actually I’ll start on Thursday 🙂 Thursday morning was a mess, I was running every which way trying to finish packing, finish a few non-costumey projects (Costume Monkey shirts for the girls) and getting the van loaded before Chase got home at noon. My boxes and stuff, almost packed. My cousin Catherine was volunteering this year. She needed to…

Kingdom Come Wonder Woman Sneak Peek!
Sneak peek! After this test fitting we realised a few things needed fixed – namely the straps of the shinguards around the ankles were too small (wouldn’t close at all), the foam inside them needed to be trimmed, and we needed to add extra straps to the wing harness, at the top. We’ve done all those except the addition to…

Boushh Preview Pic!
95% done, needs more weathering, need to reinforce the spikes on the gloves, and, well, put the spikes on the other glove, too, LOL. I really don’t like how my tunic came out, I want to re-do that after Dragoncon, at least take the front panels off and replace them. I cut them too short, especially at the bottom. So…

Lots of Progress Pics, Ackbar, WW, etc
Friday, Ash came over and we ate spaghetti and pizza and worked on stuff. But first, I went to get my petticoat and discovered it’s got dogs. I guess that’s what I get for putting it next to her kennel. Geez. And when Ash came over, she brought her new friend. Aren’t they cute together? Man I love that mask.…

Updates, KC WW, Boushh, Endor Leia
Did a lot of stuff yesterday. KC WW- My shins wings got painted. Finished the other shoulder piece and got it pinned in, fixed the cape, painted the round cape pins and put them on. Made a new skirt mock up that is MUCH better. Finished the belt. Today — get the wing harness situated, focus on the WW for…

Surreal
So um I just got an email from myspace saying, “Kelldar the Destroyer would like to be added as one of your friends!” Um, that’s ME, why would I be friending myself? I followed the link and there was no friends request from Kelldar the Destroyer. Freaking surreal, man, maybe somebody up there is trying to tell me something… like…

Boushh updates
Finished my Boushh boots! I gave up painting the darn things in covered them in the same suede. They look pretty spiffy; I’m pleased. Chase finished putting snaps in my new slave Leia skirts. I tried it on with my new boots and I love it, am once again pleased. Tried on all my finished or near finished Boushh parts…
-
KC WW stuff, Boushh, etc
Boushh pants are nearly done! I like how they look. They really just need weathering, now. Chase worked on the helmet for a long time last night, too. He got most of the leather on, I think. We’re still fighting with the cummerbund pieces, though… hopefully we’ll get them done soon. I worked on WW for a long time last…
-
Finished Padme, and other updates
Finished padme last night. I can pack her up. And my new slave leia boots, and dyeing my endor poncho. It’s a little on the light side, I may dye it again — AFTER Dcon. I’m tired of fooling with it, now. Chase worked on my Boushh helmet most of the night, and we started attaching my Boushh knees. Tonight,…

when i refused to give in to beggars
You know what, ebay people? I rarely give feedback, because I don’t care. I don’t care if you leave me feedback, either. I especially don’t give feedback to people who beg for it. People who send me messages telling me to leave feedback. Last I heard it was voluntary, not required. I can’t freaking stand it when they came around…

Progress, KC WW, Padme
Finally finished all the colouring on the stupid cape. Really, had to make myself stop – I keep messing with this thing for forever, but I don’t have time for it. Now i just need to finish up all the bloody sequins and sewing the lining in, and fix the neckline on the dress, and it’s finished. That’s basically all…
