(recap: July 2nd I caught the side of my foot on a broken, bent sewing needle stuck in my carpet in my sewing room. 7/6 went to the dr and was put on antibiotics and got a tetanus shot.) So my foot got a ton better last week. I had finished the antibiotics Wednesday, and by Friday I was walking normal, I even rode my bike that night. Saturday morning I ...
Today was crazy. Mel was in town with the baby (who is adorable) so we met her for breakfast. Waited nearly an hour and a half for a table, after being told 30min wait. Would've left if we realised it would be so long, but the manager comped our meals over it which was super nice. After we ate, walked Mel to her car and then started back to Ash's ...
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 ...
Digging through my old hard-drive for that Sailor Moon pic yesterday, I came across quite a few "lost" costume pics from a decade ago. I don't have a date on this one, though I'm thinking it's sometime in 2001 also, very early on in my costuming making. I bought this costume off ebay - Sailor Mars: I tossed on a wig I had and my Asuka shoes and took a few ...
Here's a random memory of a costume I never did. Back in the dark ages, I used to look around on ebay pretty often for costumes. This was way before the influx of chinese commissioners, and the search term "cosplay" would only bring up about a page or two of results, if that. I would go search just to see what was out there. Well at some point, someone was ...
So, last night, I used up the last of my aisle runner. This thing: Super cheap shiny fraying white satin. I don't even remember how many yards I ended up with. It was a LOT. I never expected to get it back, for some reason I never thought of that - but when we got home from the honeymoon, there it was, wrapped back up on the cardboard tube it ...
from surfing flickr. 1. photos of some random fetish chick in spandex taken in your basement should not be tagged "dragoncon", because they aren't. 2. photos of fish at the aquarium should not be tagged "dragoncon", because they aren't. 3. editing is awesome. i know its cool you got pics of your fav celebrity but do we really need to see 300+ pics of him talking at a panel? They're pretty much all exactly ...
While at conventions, I'm always worried someone's going to ask me something about the character I'm dressed as, or ask me to pose in a certain way, and I have no idea what they're talking about. I think the only reason I worry about it because I've had it happen - one time when I was wearing Belldandy, and guy came up and wanted me to do a specific pose. ...
dear basement dwellers, I realise there's no way to keep you from taking picture of girls' butts at conventions. I personally really don't care. But, for the love of God, why do you upload them to flickr and photobucket, etc? Just keep those pics to yourselves. I really don't want to come across 20+ pics of BUTTS when looking at con pics, nor do I want to see my own butt ...
This is a great read & food for thought for costumers: Your opinion? What makes you think I want it?
