Avengers midnight show!
Avengers was amazing! There were quite a few people dressed up. The audience was amped and it was a really great show. I wore Black Widow (with jeans added, just for comfort’s sake!) Here’s a few pics!

Dragoncon 2011 Costume Recap
First up, Supergirl. My plan was to wear Supergirl all Thursday night; I ended up wearing it for about 20 minutes because I wanted to put on Donna. So now that Supergirl was out of the way (LOL) I wore Donna the rest of the night – there were so many Doctor Who people around and with K9 out, it…

Dcon 2010 costume wrap up
I had a lot of fun at all the photoshoots this year, they were awesome, well organized and fun. However next year I’m not committing myself to ANY photoshoots. I spent all day sunday between the Teen Titans and DC shoots. From 9AM when I got up to when I left DC a little after 4PM. Saturday was the parade/SOSI…

Arica and Black Widow progress
I’m finally putting together my Gaga skirt. Almost done. Took a break for a little lunch (cheese toast, haven’t had time for the grocery in a while so it’s all we had!). Last night I started feeling icky in the middle of putting the zipper in my gaga suit, so I finished that off and sat in the living room…

Injuries, Black Widow and Alyss progress
Night before last sucked – I got the evening off to a bang by stepping on a needle. And I don’t mean just pricking my foot with it, oh no, it went clear through the side of my toe. Nice little piercing, I should have just slapped an earring on it and say I meant to do it. It hurt…

state of affairs: Dcon2010 costumes
A little update on, well, everything. Lady Gaga: Haven’t touched it, needing more fabric. I did get my shoes. I need to order fabric for the bodysuit, and also my wigs. This one still has the most work left on it. I’d say it’s at 20% Black Widow: Got my wig, wristbands are nearly done, need to put my belt…

Yesterday’s viewings: All MST3ks: Jack Frost (again), The Beast of Yucca Flats and half of Lost Continent. (also some random stuff on tv while doing some hand-sewing in the living room).

Last night’s movie of choice: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Project: Bodice for Surprise costume #2. I got the two sides put together and figured out, started getting the boning cut.

costume catch up
So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn’t really go over it. I thought I’d post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I’ve got the top basically made. I’ve got the organza cut to cover it, but haven’t put it on yet – I’m worried I might run out since I’m using the same organza…
