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, but eventually found the airport. No one in line, we walked ...
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 arms. Otherwise she was fine. She really enjoyed the walk and ...
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 to make them before Katsucon), and I knew I wanted ...
I've finished my Belldandy costume and added it to my portfolio!
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 stupid thing at the convention. But it ended up being ...
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 ponytail in the back is about 3 feet long. The necklace I'm ...
All done!!
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 had to go back in for repairs. ugh *hits head on the desk* I don't feel ...
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 birthday! I just broke a nail. It didn't hurt. ...
Progress on my Belldandy wig... Need to clean up the front but it's getting there.
