i need some incentive.

Someone sent me this a while back and I never got a chance to look at it til today - random forum where some of my costumes were posted and I had to share one of the replies: "I wonder if she was auditioning for a series, or trying for an acting job and has downloaded her portfolio? Otherwise that is pretty strange. But, yet another thought, maybe she was ...

eyelashes are not bugs

today we have Padme... So the truth is I wear fake eyelashes with most of my costumes. This is for two reasons: the first, I have thin, fine eyelashes that, while they're actually decently long, they just don't look like much even with mascara. Everyday wear, mascara is fine, but not for costuming/getting your pic taken, etc. And secondly, I tend to look like a deer in headlights when ...

Tonight is packing & cleaning and tomorrow night is more cleaning - we've got to get the house straightened up, not just because of the typical ...

I found it!!

I found the costume that's been missing from my Dragoncon line up!! It's something I wanted to make like 2 years ago, but forgot all about until tonight. I'm super excited about it, it brings my costume list a sort of balance I think it needed. So I'm dropping Anne Boleyn in favour of this costume. And if I have to drop something like Batgirl to do it, though it makes ...

C4 all over again

We couldn't go to Celebration 4 because of the wedding - we just couldn't afford it AND a wedding in the same year. Hearing people talking about it, and people constantly asking if we were going just made me so sad that year, because I really wanted to be there! I was so disappointed we couldn't go. And now the same thing is happening with Celebration 5. If C5 were any other ...

Wizard scan

I didn't get around to scanning the magazine last night - but thanks to tetsuyacasshern on LOH I can at least give a sneak peek :) Still going to scan my copy, so I'll post a better version probably when I start posting pics from the photoshoot today. Speaking of which, we're off!
