    when i was officially 501st

    whee! I’m officially a member of the 501st Legion now. I feel so important! I am reading all my Harry Potter books again. I’ve read all of them except PoA multiple times (not including Order of the Phoenix, because I havent even made it through that one all the way once… I stopped first time I read it). So right…

    when i needed to organize

    I really really feel like organizing something. There are two things I need to be working on – either organizing and getting together costumes, or cleaning my room/”unpacking” from San Diego (nothing is left in the suitcases, they’re just laying all over the floor in my room with a ton of crap on top of them–it’s a disaster area). But…

    Ozma, Amidala and other updates

    Lessa: Everything is finished except a few little details. I’m going to finish it tonight. Masq. Costume: Finished except for the headpiece, which is underway. Hermione: Still need to iron the pleats back in, but that’s it. Amidala: I got a wig, otherwise I haven’t done anything else. I redid my Belldandy antenna yesterday. They look *so* much better. A…

    Ozma, Hermione and other Progress Pics!

    Pictures! my “secret” masquerade costume is ozma, which anybody who has been around my site or my cosplaylab profile would know I’ve been planning on doing for a long time. Ash and I decided we wanted to keep it under wraps until dragoncon though, so I’ve stopped mentioning what it is. Anyway, I started on it back before akon but…

    when i went on a nostalgia bender

    For my He-Man/She-Ra loving friends…! X-E’s 1985 and 1986 Macy’s Thanksgiving Parade Coverage – besides all the wonderful Rainbow Brite, Care Bears and other weird 80’s stuff that appears in the parade, you have to check out the video at the end of the live action He-Man/She-Ra float. Simply awesome. By the way, screw the fact it’s hot – I…

    Hermione, Lessa, Ozma, and Padme progress

    quick trip to hancock’s today, and I got my dark red lining for my PoA cloak, some green ribbon, and some really awesome wolf-looking fur for the lining of my Lessa costume. I don’t want to cut it up! I want to use it as a blanket x_x It’s so snuggly!! So, dragoncon to-do list… Masq Costume: 75% Main dress…

    when i had no point

    Ugh. I have been trying to get stuff ready for this thing I’m doing week after next… it’s time consuming and tiresome… on top of trying to get ready for Dragoncon. AUGH. Don’t even mention to me the fact that school starts back 2 days before Dragoncon. That’s not even on my radar, and it won’t be until September 7…

    Lessa fabric

    Back at easter when I was here at my grandmother’s, I found a bolt of brown vinyl that I wanted for my Lessa costume. I didn’t get it because I figured if they had it at Hancock in Jackson, they’d have it in Memphis too. Well they didn’t, nothing even close. So since I was up here in Jackson this…

    when mom thought I loved orlando bloom

    So mom woke me up last night just to tell me that, apparently, Orlando Bloom is coming to Memphis to shoot a movie. I said, “oh boy.” She goes, “What?! Don’t you like Orlando Bloom?!” like she had nooo idea I wasn’t in love with orlando bloom. My “oh boy” went more for Cath, who is not exactly crazy over…

    when we did the big scoop

    So what’s up with me, you ask? I did something to my foot last weekend. Every single one of my costumes had uncomfortable shoes (the worst being Hild, Phoenix, and Anna) and it was a LOT of walking. So my feet were still numb by the time I got back. Well my left foot is still bothering me. Mom thinks…

Shadowcat vs. Al Something about the wig made me feel goofy, so I was pretty much always smiling in this costume, even though it was completely out of character. Anna in front of the Van Helsing…

    when I was in newtype

    Thanks to everybody who has let me know that I’m in August’s issue of Newtype USA! I wouldn’t have known if it weren’t for you guys. I managed to snag a copy at the convention this weekend; it’s pretty cool, here’s a scan: Today has been an exceptionally good day, for four reasons. 1. I got my shoes for Ozma,…
