So Tuesday last week I had a sore throat, Wednesday I had no voice. Thursday day I felt OK just tired and I had started coughing. Now it's turned into a little cold and I've been hacking up a lung for the past couple of days. But beyond that, Thanksgiving was nice. We had the family lunch and then went home and slept the rest of the day. Leftovers for ...
Here's everything so far. I'm only missing 3 actually so maybe I should have waited, but our server is down at work and I'm bored. Belldandy and Urd from 2003 and 2002, respectively. These two costumes have really stood the test of time. I knew Belldandy was in good shape since I wore her to Momocon earlier this year, but Urd has been packed in a bag for several years. The cape's a ...
This is for TanitaMagarita! It was easier to just throw this on my blog than ending up with 5 or 6 tweets :) The foam I like to use is a dense grey foam we get in shipments where I work, here's a pic of it on my wighead: This is the same foam, also: It's pretty similar to the white foam blocks they sell at fabric or craft stores for pillows/upholstery, ...

Magik from New Mutants - yes! 7. Marie Antoinette - nope. ...
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 all crumpled up. I always loved to rub her ears, ...
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 shoot/Marvel, so that was from 8AM to after 5. ...
I've finished my Alyss costume and have added it to my portfolio!
So the surprise costume #1 was Queen Alyss Heart from "The Looking Glass Wars." SO glad to have it done! From the beginning - here's a little write up. I started out with a champagne coloured taffeta - it originally had an empire waist but I decided it needed to be more fitted through there to work, so I added a panel in to lengthen it. It was the same pattern ...
Spent this morning running last minute errands. Let me see... CVS for eyelashes and bobbie pins, and looking for lipstick for Gaga. It's an unusual colour and couldn't find anything. Chick-fil-a for breakfast! Target for snacks for the cooler. I got reese's, pringles, cokes and starbucks double shots. it's what I usually subsist on at dragoncon LOL Also again no go on the lipstick. Walgreen's to look for lipstick, but ...
Atlanta had a 60% chance of rain listed for next saturday, worrying a lot of people about the parade and some of the photoshoots. As least for now the chance has dropped to 0%! Who knows what will happen between then and now, but hope it stays that way. I got my tiara for Surprise #1 about halfway done last night and ran into problems with Starfire that ate up the rest of ...
