It's that time of the year! Beginning of this year these were my plans: Enchantress - done! Alternate Wonder Woman - aka Hippolyta - done! Lady Blackhawk - done! Rogue - done! Marie Antoinette - done! Charlotte (Princess & the Frog) - no :( Ms Marvel red suit/Moonstone - done! Disney character - no :( TV character - no :( That's probably the best I've ever done actually doing what I said ...
Got to do something fun last night :) Friend of mine's family is going to Disneyworld for Thanksgiving and it's their niece's first time there. I got to stop by their house (dressed in Belle) and give her a gift (her own Cinderella dress, tiara and light up shoes). She was really, really sweet and adorable. I hope she has a good time at Disneyworld (I'm totally jealous!)
Going through my photosets on flickr, removing unnecessary photos and just cleaning stuff up. I just finished going through my Belle folder, and generally I don't like the way I look in the costume - I mean, I don't hate it, far from it, but I never thought that wig/hairstyle looked very good on me. But I noticed something funny - I had ONE event where I loved the ...
what I finished, what I didn't get to, and 2010... Here's what I said at the end of 2008 that I'd like to do in 09... 1. Finish all those things I said I was going to finish this year, esp. Bespin Leia - HA! nope. 2. Silk Spectre I - yes! 3. Golden Age Black Canary - yes 4. Belle's Ballgown Remake - still no, waiting on Chase to finish Beast. 5. Princess Nuala - nope 6. Dawn ...
I'm sorry I haven't posted much lately. We've been busy packing and dealing with house stuff (keep your fingers crossed) that writing in the blog is not something I've been thinking of! In the meantime here's my more recent white backdrop photoshoot pics.
In order to do my new Wonder Woman parts, Chase wanted to take a body cast of me. (Also will be for things in the future) So we did that today... it was so gross. And the best part? I totally passed out. For just a second or two, but I've never passed out before in my life, even last year when my anemia was so bad. Luckily no damage ...
What I accomplished in 2008 (and what I didn't, LOL) Well it was weird year for me, costume-wise, because the first part of the year was eaten by my wedding, both financially and time-wise. I was still attemping to work on stuff - to make things that were easy, or that I already had material for. I think after the wedding and our move after everything kinda got settled I tried ...
I got my fabric for Ahsoka yesterday, finally, and ripped my mockups up and got the skirt basically put together, but around that time realised I didn't have any kind of matching thread so couldn't do any top-stitching or finishing on it. I forgot to go get thread today, too. So tonight I cleaned my Belle dress. The back of the organza section had come un-gathered and had been dragging ...
What a great event! I'm so glad we were able to go. Chase and I got up early Saturday morning and ran some errands and then hit the road to Huntsville around 10:30-ish. We've gotten so used to driving to Nashville for events - and the drive to Nashville is insanely boring. 3 hours of nothing but interstate. Huntsville was a much more interesting drive,it was actually a fun trip ...
It's probably too late for me to do anything about it, but I thought I'd ask -- I have a pair of Dyeables pumps, dyed pale yellow (they're my Belle shoes). After 3 years, they absolutely filthy looking (especially thanks to trooping places like the zoo in that costume!) I've tried a little soap and water, but it's not helping.... I always get asked at least once or twice by little ...
