Hair part 2
I didn’t think my hair was that much longer, but when I compare it to 2011, yeah, my hair practically looks shoulder length in 2011 pics. Which means it only took me 4 years to get over the hair chop of 2009 😛 Boy did I regret that hair cut.

Dragoncon 2013 Costumes
So, I have my Dragoncon costume schedule pretty much finalized. Not sure I’m going to do that fourth one I mentioned; just depends on time and money. But, here’s what we stand on them: 1. Romana I As you can see from my most recent post I messed it up! LOL. I ordered more fabric and I’m hoping to have…

Romana updates
Well I kinda messed up my Romana dress this weekend and had to order more fabric last night. So there’s really nothing to post about the dress besides that. I did start playing with the cape. I’m going to need more feathers, but I was just getting an idea of what it was going to look like:

My Least-Worn Costumes
This one was a lot harder to compile than the Most-Worn. I’ve had a ton of costumes I’ve only worn once or twice, for various reasons. I pared down the list by not including costumes that are too recent to have been worn more than once or twice, or old costumes I only made for fun, shot a few pics,…

Costumes I’ve worn the most
I knew a couple of my costumes I’ve worn the most, but when I actually counted I was surprised by some of the other “top 5.” To be fair, I didn’t count the times I wore something to a local 501st/RL troop; if I had, Leia would be at #1. The only reason I didn’t count them was because I…

Peter Davison
Got our photo with Peter Davison scanned last night: Yay! I still need to scan our Stan Lee photo from last year.

FCBD and May the Fourth
This past weekend we went up to Jackson for two events! Free Comic Book Day at Books-a-Million, and Star Wars Night with the Jackson Generals. We stayed friday through sunday with my grandparents, which is always fun. I was hoping they’d get to come out and see us at the baseball game but unfortunately the rain kept them home! Anyway,…

Dragoncon Thinking
Now that C2E2 is over I can start planning Dragoncon stuff. I’m only planning on making 4 new costumes for myself; maybe only 3. I’ve got a work schedule worked out, and if I finish the 3 first ones by August, then I’ll go ahead and tackle the 4th (the 4th will be easy to make; it’s just budgeting factors.)…

c2e2 pics – part 2!
I got the photos from my camera uploaded last night! First up, here’s the finished Fionna costume. It was so comfortable and I can’t wait to wear it again at Dragoncon. I didn’t get a lot of shots of it at C2E2 so I may have to do a photoshoot before then. The guy doing the chalk art all weekend…

Home from C2E2!
We had a good weekend in Chicago 🙂 But I’m glad to be home! I haven’t got my pictures downloaded yet, but I’ve got a handful of photos off my phone to share right now. I’ll post the rest in another entry later on! We left Thursday night, and we were on a TINY plane! Kevin and Chase were bumping…

Then & Now: a costume meme

a hulk skateboard?
I cleaned out my bag this morning in preparation to switch to my TARDIS purse for Chicago next weekend. This isn’t the weirdest haul I’ve ever seen but I thought I’d take a pic: Wallet Bp gift card a ton of receipts (already thrown away before the picture) a business card from Greyhound Adoptions camera charger chapstick 4 (!) medication…

Romana I progress
The back is put together, and I started pleating the front sections: I stopped since I need my extra fabric. Hopefully it’ll be here tomorrow.

C2E2 2013!
We will be at C2E2 next weekend! I’m really excited because I’ve always wanted to go! I’ll be wearing Ms Marvel and my brand new Fionna (Adventure Time) costumes on Friday, and Donna Noble on Saturday! If you see me please say hi!

You guys
I’m so excited!!! There’s been a costume I’ve wanted Chase to do since we MET and he’s agreed to do it this year for Dragoncon! Which kinda throws my Dragoncon schedule into a tizzy because now there’s a costume I want to make for myself to go with his and that’s stuffing my schedule a little too full, so something…

Romana I start!
I got Romana I started this weekend. I originally bought 8 yards of fabric – the Jet Set Poly from Joann’s. I bought 8 yards because, besides needing extra for the pleated section, I’m also self-lining it since it’s so thin. I’m using good old Simplicity 9891 – mine has been used so many times it looks like a giant…

Another Fionna pic
I actually still haven’t finished those little things I mentioned last tie (velcro on the hat, etc) but I fixed the top hem of the skirt, so I took a slightly better pic of it. One without a fake pipe sticker.
