Sunday morning we got to sleep in a little. We had a 10am photoshoot with Eurobeat King, so we got up at 9 to get ready. Cath had moved to the girls' room the day before, once Ash and Melissa had gotten up and settled - they were on the 36th floor!! LOL Ewok Leia is really fast & easy to get on - the only drama was getting Chase's Han ...
Saturday morning dawned annoyingly early. We had to get up at 7:30 in order to get up and dressed for the parade. Cath was smart - she got up, got dressed and got herself out of there before we even got started! I was going to wear Boushh for the 501st picture, and then walk with the helmet off with the Rebel Legion, since Chase was wearing part of his Han ...
Well, actually I'll start on Thursday :) Thursday morning was a mess, I was running every which way trying to finish packing, finish a few non-costumey projects (Costume Monkey shirts for the girls) and getting the van loaded before Chase got home at noon. My boxes and stuff, almost packed. My cousin Catherine was volunteering this year. She needed to actually be there Thursday morning but was unable to make it, ...
I'll start with Friday :) Indy wanted to go! We loaded up (again, after getting permission to borrow my aunt's car!) and set off. We made pretty good time, got in around 9:30, I think? Checked in, found everybody, then unloaded the car and hit the sack, because we were really tired after the drive! Saturday morning we got up early, Chase put on Vader, I put on Hoth Leia, and we ...
So MTAC was pretty much ok. Like I said in my previous post, I wore Belle, then Utena -- I need to fix the waistband on Belle, as I said last post. Also, it was too darn cold to wear the shoes I brought to wear with this!! LOL I opted for my tennis shoes instead! Link is ambushed by Mario and Luigi! I wrote pretty much everything I needed ...
Friday, I did indeed wear Arwen, and got a few new pics. I went without the wig most of the time, only put it on for the pictures. I wore Susan first thing Saturday morning - it was quite interesting having to drive the 45 minutes to the con hotel while wearing this (I didn't wear the wig while I was driving, though, LOL) Friday I discovered that Death of Rats ...
Friday we went and saw The Prestige. I left my phone at the restaurant and we had to go back for it. Geez. Saturday morning I woke up with a horrible headache and eyeache. I took some advil and it went away, but I was left with a lingering feeling of slight ickiness the rest of the day. I got into Hoth Leia - the hair took longer than I ...
All the non-new costumes, and how the held up. I wore classic Leia friday morning at the RL table. That was fun! I had planned on doing that last year, but ended up wearing the metal bikini instead. Got pics with PsychoShinji... yay! I missed her when she was in Robin and I was in Starfire last year. I also got pics with WF&DT! He makes such a ...
Back to our regularly scheduled Dragoncon pics! Got to sleep in a little bit Sunday morning. We got up and I put on Rogue for the X-Men photoshoot, and Chase stayed in normal clothes to play photographer. I was absolutely stunned by how many people showed up for the X-Men photoshoot! Me and Kitty! This is just part of the group! Rogues! Then we went over for the cosplay.com ...
Saturday morning was the parade! I had to iron that monster of my lake dress, and we didn't really get my hair on right - we were in a hurry because we were running late! Neither of us went to the 501st pic, but by the time we got to the staging area, the parade was just starting, so that was lucky! Since the Rebel Legion and 501st march last, ...
