    Wonder Girl progress; wedding pic

    Went to Lauren & Jeremy’s wedding, it was really cool. Their reception was a the Old Daisy and it was masquerade themed. Here’s a pic of me and Chase, courtesy Ash: As you can see I wore my Marvel Girl mask and Chase somehow wore my Huntress mask. Didn’t think it would fit anyone else but me LOL. Sunday I…

    some old pics

    I scanned some old pics while watching project runway last night. This one started it. I thought, “I have to show people my pac-man rug” LOL ALSO – Paradise Estate! Jem car! Popple! PONIES! Me and my dad, circa 83 or 84? MINTY AND COTTON CANDY! I have a Hobbes. I don’t remember that stuffed animal, I’m not sure why…

    Artwork & Briar Rose updates

    Costumes: I got the boning put in my Briar Rose bodice, and got the outer layer cut out and put together. I pinned the two sides together but haven’t sewn them up yet. I need to pick up some grommets, some lining for the shirt, and get my skirt fabric. I found something I really liked at Joanns, but they…

    Tilt Shift video of the Dragoncon 2010 parade

    I just deleted my livejournal. Anyway – post-dragoncon… I’ve updated my site with all the new stuff. Here’s my flickr gallery – I still have more to add once Chase sends them to me. And here’s our video of the parade. It’s a time lapse tilt shift video, I think it’s pretty neat. In other news, working on Briar Rose…

    when did dragoncon become comic con?

    So I was up way too early this morning to join in on the “marriott landgrab” for Dragoncon 2011. When we first started going – for probably I’d say 2002-2005, we had no issues getting a room at the Marriott. There was no “room grab” day when the rooms went on sale – they just went on sale and people…

    last bit of birthday

    Had the gang over for my birthday last night. We watched the rifftrax of New Moon, and let me say our new(er) Bluray player is MUCH better at pausing and starting than our old cheapie dvd player! Chase made cheese fondue for dinner and chocolate for dessert, the chocolate one was the best chocolate he’s ever made, it was soo…

    Sewing Room Sketch

    So last night, I doodled this in photoshop. Not too many changes, mostly just cosmetic things – I want my bookshelf and side table painted white, and I want those two shelf/cubby hole things for holding stuff/as a tv stand. I also want to get my posters and pictures on the wall. I want to get all of that stuff…

    you say its my birthday?

    yeah so its my birthday today. This weekend were were in Nashville – Chase had a photoshoot all day Saturday, so I hung out in our hotel room (which was sweet! really nice) and finished up dragoncon pictures (or at least what chase had sent me). When he got done we got dressed and went to downtown Nashville to eat…

    the Supergirl wig curse

    I feel like I was cursed when it came to wigs this summer – and I couldn’t really talk about it since I was keeping Supergirl under wraps. I searched for a long time for the 2 wigs I needed for Gaga and the wig for Supergirl. The yellow wig was weirdly enough the easiest. I found a blonde wig…

    Thinking about costumes for next year..

    Dragoncon kinda signals the end of the “season” for me – I generally start thinking about next year around this time of the year. So here’s my thoughts for next year… Halloween/GMX: Not making anything new for GMX – but I’m going to make Briar Rose for Halloween. I need to finish off my new Aurora wig I bought last…

    A few Dragoncon 2010 pics!

    Sorry I haven’t posted lately. Been busy doing nothing! Except uploading pics, and cleaning the house, etc. Indy had another ear hematoma, like she did last year. Except in the other ear this time. Took her to the vet saturday and he drained it and she’s on steriods now. Makes me sad because now both ears are going to be…

    agenda for next year

    It’s a little early but here’s my agenda for next year, some of which I already touched on. 1. Only 4 new costumes, can only bring at most 10 all together. 2. At least 2 most have comfy shoes. 3. Will go to artist alley/art show, and spend more time hanging around and people watching. 4. No photoshoots. 5. Carry…

    a few thoughts about dragoncon pics on flickr

    from surfing flickr. 1. photos of some random fetish chick in spandex taken in your basement should not be tagged “dragoncon”, because they aren’t. 2. photos of fish at the aquarium should not be tagged “dragoncon”, because they aren’t. 3. editing is awesome. i know its cool you got pics of your fav celebrity but do we really need to…

    Dcon 2010 costume wrap up

    I had a lot of fun at all the photoshoots this year, they were awesome, well organized and fun. However next year I’m not committing myself to ANY photoshoots. I spent all day sunday between the Teen Titans and DC shoots. From 9AM when I got up to when I left DC a little after 4PM. Saturday was the parade/SOSI…

    Dragoncon 2010 Recap (sorta)

    We’re home! I tried to post a couple of times from the con but just didn’t have enough down time. So here’s a recap. This isn’t going to be that interesting – we didn’t really “do” much outside of changing costumes LOL. Wednesday: Ash and I went and picked up the van, Chase got home, we loaded it up and…

    almost there…

    Last night, I dreamt about arriving at dragoncon. It was basically just us moving the van and parking the van and trying to figure out if we could check into the hotel or not. That totally stems from us not having any kind of plan for tomorrow. Them moving pre-reg pick-up up to 10 really threw us off. We’ll probably…
