    Misato fabric

    We went to Hancock’s. Got orange and black material for the extra things on Misato’s jacket. And some more lining for her jacket (we didn’t get enough first time). Ash’s Ritsuko wig came in the mail. I fixed up a bit. It’s the cheapest quality wig I’ve ever worked with. But it’s going to work perfectly, I think.

    when i wanted to be a secret agent

    *does a pirate jig* I forgot what I was going to say~ Oh yeah! I started to redesign this place like, a month ago, but didn’t like it so I dropped it. I wish I had a sorta secret agent type costume to take a pic of myself in, cause I want to do, like, secret agent man or some…

    when Miss Kim and Shatner danced

    Ok, do you know what the freaking scariest thing in the world is to me? A Dark Alley. He comes towards you, dancing slowly… he passes under a dim streetlight and you realise….. it’s William Shatner. Ash said Miss Kim (my scary wig head) should be floating along next to him. Someone needs to work that image into a movie.…

    when i was 12

    Yesterday Ash and her parents came over to hang out. Ash and I decided to go get mcdonald’s and rent a movie instead of going out to eat with the parents, so we did. We rented A.I. (ash’s choice), Rushmore (my choice) and SNK vs Capcom 2 (for kevin… and, well, yeah, me too). I had to pay a late…

    Lulu and other updates

    Ok, so nothing much got worked on yesterday. I’m trying to decide what I want to make my Lulu hairpieces out of. At first I was going to do sculpey… and I made one… and it looks horrible. So now I’m thinking some light foamboard type stuff. Easier to cut, that’s for sure. Ash says she got ALL the fabric…

    when i got ready for star wars

    I tried to come post last night but this thing wouldn’t load. Ash!! If you read this, call me and tell me you’ve read this. I got you a blonde wig. Hopefully it’ll be here soon. Also, Wednesday night… er, Thursday morning, 12:01: Star Wars. Not Muvico! I bought some hair (LOL) to add to my braids so I can…

    when there was a creepy guy

    Oooh my god Dad brought home Molly’s for me last night. I ate waaaaay too much. They give you more food when you order it to-go… I saved some of the cheese dip and had it for breakfast. yum 😀 Got up @ 5:50 am this morning to take Kevin to school. (it takes him bought 20 minutes to get…

    Xiaoyu Almost finished

    Finished Ling Xiaoyu yesterday!!!!!!! YAY! Well, ok, still have to make the ponytail holders, but that’ll take no time. Got Misato’s jacket just about made. We had the sleeves done and one attached… but I thought they were too fitted so we decided to remake them. I’ve spent the last twenty minutes ripping out the seam. I hate doing that.…

    Xiaoyu shoes & Lulu makeup

    Just about finished my Xiaoyu shoes last night. Also made my purple lulu necklace. I went to Mr Lincoln’s day before yesterday and got some face makeup type stuff for Lulu. That lady asked what I was doing and I told her, and she actually knew who I was talking about it! (her son has been playing that game, she…

    Star Wars Midnight Show

    Got a zipper yesterday. Woohoo! I guess I’m dressing up for the Star Wars opening. But *only* if we go to the midnight showing the night before at Muvico. ‘Cause my costume is going to be the same one Cath wore as Leia two years ago – my mom’s old Bride of Frankenstein costume. It’s not exactly accurate. Oh well.…

    when there was a weird coincidence

    ARGH!! If my parents don’t take the batteries out of that clock, I will!! >O It’s this clock my grandparents gave to them, like, years ago. And they never put batteries in it. Then, just the other day, they decided to. The first time that thing chimed it scared me to death. It still freaks me out. I think it’s…

    when i was jealous of a ringtone

    OH! I forgot! This friend’s phone played Cruel Angel’s Thesis (y’know, the Eva theme) as a ring. How freaking cool is that?! I WANT a phone like that. Back when i got my phone, it was the coolest phone in my little circle, y’know? Then everybody got phones smaller and newer than mine and I’m the only stuck with this…

    when we got mixed up with music fest

    What… a long… weekend. Yesterday morning was actually kinda slow. We went and ate breakfast at this place in Millington, and all I had was toast, since the thought of any other breakfast food made me feel ill. Mom and I worked on my Misato jacket some … and then we went to the play. They did great. It was…

    Shadowcat and Lina boots!

    And now cool boots! Brown Boots, which I thought could be good for any number of things, namely Lina and Eowyn (speaking of which, I’ve decided to hold off on Eowyn until the LOTR opening in Dec. If Cath is coming to Dragon*con, we want to do Urd, Skuld and Belldandy together. Which means a day of wearing Urd again.)…

    when the soffe shorts appeared

    Well, today’s running around was kind of a bust. Found no good Xiaoyu fabric at Hancock’s – the closest thing to the correct colour was too thin. Found no wig or lab coat at Party City. Found absolutely nothing at the mall. Went in the new Delia’s sotre – felt horribly out of place. Went to Freewheelin’ Franks. Ash got…

    Wow, I haven’t posted here since 4/30! I guess I’ve been so busy with the poster… Well, it’s finished and I’ll post it in my next post, if you’re interested. Dad picked up the print yesterday and I took it up to them last night. They were all happy with it (except one of the flapper girls – “HEY I’m…

    Hermione and Rally pics

    gads I’m tired!! I’ll explain why later. Right now, gaze upon the glory of my Rally Vincent wig. Ok, so maybe it’s not quite glorious, but I’m pleased with it! Also took new Hermione pics the other day. (ok so that’s not crookshanks, it’s mrs norris… but close enough!) There were also a couple of nice outside ones – it…

    when i had dreams, again

    Oh! I forgot about my dream!! Of course I don’t remember most of it, but I remember the coolest part. Me and Catherine and Rachel and David and my grandparents went to the mall. It was kinda like our Wolfchase mall, but kinda not. Inside the department store Cath and I went to was more like a Target or something…
