House and Teeth Cleaning
So I went and got my teeth cleaned for the first time in waaaay too long and boy are they sore. Not so bad today. But last night I was hurting. They looked good except I’m going to have to have a crown replaced. Ouch. (the ouch is more financially speaking than physically, though) I’ve been on a mad house…

Sims 4 Thoughts
So I said I wasn’t going to buy it. But then I bought it. I had read about how “downgraded” Sims 4 was going to be – and still being very much into the Sims 3, I figured, why waste my time? It actually kinda sounded awful. But then I read a review that said that yes, the world is…

Dragoncon pictures I stole from other people
I’m a nasty little thief, stealing pictures from other people. I love this shot of my Peggy with the USO Girls from Kaydee: Although it makes me think my jacket is a little big? I need to adjust the belt up higher and it’s already wrinkling at that lower point. Hm. Anne onstage, from Sean Peck: Two gorgeous shots of…

Deep Thoughts
Now, what do I want to take to GMX? I’ve actually got a convention BEFORE GMX —- but it’s work, I don’t think I get to take any costumes LOL But I hear some of the booths have crazy costumes and stuff so I’ll be taking pictures. So, was thinking about GMX today. I may stick Kevin in Chase’s Time…

Dcon 2014: Anne Boleyn
Ok, I think this is the last costume wrap-up post I need to do. Due to the crowds I only got to wear Anne once. I probably would have braved it again if I didn’t already have proof that someone stepping on my skirt could rip it – Chase accidently stepped on the side of it as we were heading…

5 Days After: The costume you most squeed over from this year
5 Days After: The costume you most squeed over from this year The Olafs, Dreamcatcher and Figment, Mean Girls, Celebrity Jeopardy… off the top of my head. I’m sure there’s more I’m not thinking of. And I’m being lazy and not posting pics. *falls back asleep*

Dcon 2014: Johanna costume
Well, you know, I really wasn’t sure about how this was going to turn out. This was my stress costume this year that I was still slapping together at the 11th hour and had gotten to the point of, “I don’t care, just finish it,” you know? So I was pretty surprised I actually liked how it turned out. All…

Dcon 2014: Donna costume
It would figure; the simplest costume is the one I screw up. It really needs some tweaks before I wear it again – I was really unhappy with the way the trim was laying especially on the bustline, so I want to switch out for something not so bulky that will lay flat. It was also causing the back to…

4 Days After: Somewhere you liked to eat while at DragonCon
4 Days After: Somewhere you liked to eat while at DragonCon Vortex! I love going here, good food. (I thought I had a picture of Kevin eating here at Momocon but i can’t find it.) We also like Max Lager’s. This year those were the only two major places we ate – we brought a mini fridge with us and…

3 Days After: Your favorite guest from this year
3 Days After: Your favorite guest from this year This year I got Joel, Frank and Trace’s autographs on Tom Servo, so they’ll be my pick of course. And Trace drew Crow which made my Crow-fangirl self super happy.

Dcon 2014: Rogue costume
I literally only have one decent picture of this costume. The other ones we took are blown out (can’t see the star) and have I have a huge hair shadow across my face. I wore this for about 2 hours friday afternoon – and had intended on wearing it again late friday or saturday night. But I couldn’t convince myself…

Dcon 2014: Marie Antoinette TARDIS costume
Well this one isn’t NEW but it’s updated and I’m really pleased with it! When I first did the TARDIS dress back in 2011, my plan was to create a couple of other underskirts to wear with it, so I could be different versions of the TARDIS. Well I never got around to that – mostly because I hate painting…
-
Dcon 2014: Peggy Carter costume
First wrap-up on one of the new costumes – Peggy ! I was super pleased with how it came out. It was relatively comfortable – outside of being insanely hot. It wasn’t too bad as long as I was inside – even in the oven that is the Marriott – but outside was no bueno. I had to leave both…
-
Dcon 2014: Megara
I wore Megara for a couple of hours Saturday afternoon. Nothing major. It was more comfortable than half of my other costumes and I almost put it back on Sunday, but decided I didn’t feel like messing with the sandals. I wish I’d had time to fix the pleats on the dress before Dragoncon but alas – I’ll have to…
-
Dcon 2014: Shadowcat
Ya’ll don’t even KNOW how excited I was to bring Shadowcat back to Dragoncon. As I’ve mentioned, Shadowcat was my first superhero costume for my first Dragoncon in 2002. I’ve been playing around with the idea since Dragoncon 2011. But never had a good excuse to until I got to be part of a very awesome 80s X-Men group this…
-
Dcon 2014: Dr Forrester
I wore this both Thursday night – to take advantage of my crazy hair from Marie Antoinette – and Saturday afternoon (only for a few minutes). I’ve got a few more pics of Dr F coming soon from Chase. I didn’t wear it terribly long on Thursday because Tom made my arm pretty sore LOL And I threw it on…

2 Days After: Something that helps you recover from DragonCon or from post-con depression
2 Days After: Something that helps you recover from DragonCon or from post-con depression Snuggling up on the couch, eating junk food, watching movies and just chilling. Something I usually haven’t been able to do for a few months without feeling guilty I’m not working on costumes. Also, looking at photos!

Dcon 2014: Emma costume
So last year I did all these little updates to Emma – mostly fixing the issue with the bottoms not reaching the corset, the cape closures. And then I didn’t wear it last year. I made sure to bring it back this year and got into it on Saturday afternoon. However, after all that, I only wore it for maaaaaaybe…

Dcon 2014: Donna Noble Costume
Starting out with some of my older costumes – less thoughts that way which is good cuz I don’t think my brain is fully functioning again yet. So, nothing really new with the costume except the wig. My hair’s gotten way to long for Donna as I mentioned before – so I got a wig late last year. A few…
