The photoshoot Saturday went pretty good! We managed to get through all 8, but I almost stopped after 6. I was exhausted. But after a little nap and dinner, I was able to pull together and finish the last 2. I've got 4 of them up so far: Imperial Officer: Played around with a couple of different hairstyles for this but my fav ended up being the braid. Arwen!! Ahhh! OMG I love my ...

OK I finally updated the site from comic con. Some pics from Al: Lord of the BLING Middle Earth Cotillion Attack of primary colours!! 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.
