Starman

I'm here working on my website today... I'm avoiding social media, because it keeps reminding me that David Bowie has passed, and it's too upsetting. We lost him far too soon. So I'm focusing on working on my website and trying to get this revamp finished. And since I haven't posted much recently, I have a backlog of photos to share. We finished cleaning up the guest/prop room! It ...

BUT I realized I hadn't done this yet and got all excited to type up the post, so here we go, fuzzy headed or not. 1. Pink Dragon I made a giant, wear-able pink ...

Today I'm posting 3 separate FAQ Fridays - the ceremonial Leia hairstyle, slave Leia hairstyle, and Bespin Leia hairstyle!

2008 in review

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.
