imagine a world where time has no meaning
because that is the world I am living in. It’s like time stopped in March and there is nothing to delineate the days from each other except some days I have to sit at a work computer in one room and some days I lay on the couch with my switch. Like I go outside and it’s like… how is…

Dressform Pics
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…

A few more Momocon pics
Here’s a few more pictures that I didn’t have uploaded yet when I posted last. Kevin’s absolutely epic take on the classic “help I’m falling down the Marriott” photo: I loooooooooove these photos of my Belldandy Chase took. I TRIED to be good and wear sandals with Belldandy (I’ve gotten in trouble with hotels for not wearing shoes with it).…

Momocon Pics – Round 1
Here’s the pics from my camera and my phone, and a handful from Chase – haven’t gotten all of his uploaded yet. We had a fantastic time! It was definitely a different crowd than we’re used to at a convention, but Kevin was in Kevin Heaven. We were up before the sun on Friday and the trip in went really…

blaaah
I woke up this morning feeling GREAT! Now I’m back to feeling sluggish and tired with a slight headache. Stupid schizo weather. I’ve GOT to get my sewing room finished tonight so I can get some sewing done ASAP – I’ve got a couple of American Girl doll sized costumes to make before this weekend. Which means I probably won’t…

A-Kon 2005 Pics & SDCC Plans!
First off – I actually won the Amidala Look a Like Contest at Cosplaylab. I couldn’t believe it, there were so many good entries, and people I knew – I was hoping to get maybe honorable mention, but – yay! It made my weekend. SO I didn’t get Yuuko *completely* finished – I’m going to get it finished for MTAC…

A-Kon 2003 pics!
A-kon! Ash and I won 2nd place overall. freak OUT. We were so tired and in so much pain (wigs, wings, what have you) that it didn’t really register with us until sunday that we had won. Friday We left the house at 3:30 AM and drove to Little Rock. We got turned around and lost once in Little Rock,…

when i was excited for akon
So Indy and I did the 3 mile walk for the Humane Society today. It was fun! There were so many other dogs, and I was worried about Indy being crazy and getting herself in trouble, but the only time she jumped at another dog and barked was when one got too close to me while she was in my…

when i bought angel wings
OH MY GOD! I am so excited!!!!!! Back around… oh, Christmas I think it was, Victoria’s Secret had in their store windows their mannequins wearing these amazing angel wings. They were *beautiful* wings. I was already planning on making wings for my Belldandy costume at that point, for when I wore it to Akon (I knew I wouldn’t have time…

Katsucon 2003 Pics!
I’m still recovering from katsucon. But I did update the cosplay site, with new costume junk and a con report! There weren’t many stories to tell, but you can read what I did those few days anyway. Belldandy came out much better than I expected. I was so frustrated over the wig I wondered if I would even wear the…

when belldandy was expensive
It’s funny how making the costume of a such a kind, loving, patient character can turn me into such a foul mouthed witch. Belldandy is finished! This costume comes in as my most expensive to date. The wigs alone cost around $120 (there are two wigs there). The wigs were sewn together to make one, and it’s SO HEAVY. The…

when i posted some cosplay progress percentages
Just a random update for those who don’t read my cosplay journal: Jupiter: 100% Utena: 100% Belldandy: 90% – everything done except finishing the wig (which is giving me a headache) and making her foot things. Chun-Li: 65% – still got to make the actual dress part, oops Amalthea: 90% – was 100% until a small problem emerged and it…

when i got spirited away
I got my Spirited Away DVD today. I actually like Chihiro’s/Sen’s voice in the english dub better. I already posted it at my costume journal a while back but… here’s my IN Progress Belldandy wig.. if you’re interested in that sort of thing. Tonight we are going to go see Just Married, I think it’s called? Whatever. It’s for Na’s…
