Random Thoughts: #1 I need to take pictures of the Leia costume I made last year for Dragoncon and have never worn. #2 I stumbled across the webpage of a couple of cosplayers and they made me feel OLD. I know I'm older than the average anime con attendee these days, but to actually see the years and to realise they were just little kids when I was in college... you know :) #3 ...
before I crawl back to bed, had to share this gem from myspace: "Do you OWN all these costumes you wear?? Are they your husbands??? and WHERE ON EARTH DO YOU THEM?? I've looked all over but can't find some of those you have." Yes, all of my girly costumes are Chase's. what?? I mean, what?? on top of that I think he's asking where I get them. That's the ...
The annual Halloween emails/messages have begun. So far hit up: Belle (would i be willing to commission one for halloween), Stitch (how u make that mask i wanna make 1), She-Ra (been looking everywhere, would you be willing to sell yours?) and oddly enough Marion (do you rent your costumes, because I need a Marion costume...) I think I'll keep track of them this year and record them all - ...
I'm looking for a costume to make for Dcon next year, something that will be easy and fun to dance in. Slave Leia was my #1 choice costume for that in previous years, but it's gotten so oversaturated I wanted to find something else. I tried Wonder Woman and Belle's pink dress this past con - Wonder Woman just because that's what I felt like wearing at the time (and it ...
I keep meaning to post the silly, weird myspace messages I get, and I always forget. But I remembered today - here's the latest. Subject: one would assume... message: "...you might have an interest in wrestling since your ionto wearing alot of the attire that could work for it. My wife wrestles and is looking for opponents like you. Please give us a hollar " what? LMAO...
Obnoxious Costume Stuff I have been really bored at work lately. I went through my costume views and stuff at cosplaylab and came up with some stats. Most Viewed: Belldandy Second most Viewed: Queen Amidala Parade Dress Both of those are because I won 2nd place in the Belldandy look-a-like contest there, and first place in the Padme look-a-like contest, so they are linked on the winners page. Because of ...
My day of working at home has turned into "Day of Looking for Stuff." First I had to find all my Susan stuff. I haven't worn it since 2003, so it was spread out all over. The corset and skirt were together, at least. One boot was where it was supposed to be - the other was hiding. One of the laces is missing from the corset - no clue where ...
Do people on myspace not know how to read? I get so many messages everyday with people asking stuff that is on my main page, right there. I don't have THAT much text on my page. I have paragraph about me. I have a paragraph (in big bold type!) that I make my own costumes, and I do not sell them and I do not work on commission. And then ...
Gosh! We took pics of Battle Padme and Lake Padme last night. The battle ones came out ok, not great, but the lake ones, the lighting was way off and I just couldn't figure out why. On the way to work this morning I realised - we had left the light on behind the backdrop. It threw off all the lighting for the rest of the pics. So I'm keeping ...
Bad Ebay Deals! I have had, as far as I can remember, 3 bad ebay deals, all involving costume stuff. The first was in probably 2001. I found a nice pair of red Mary Janes that would go good with my Asuka sundress I had recently (also) bought off ebay. This was in the days before I had paypal, so after I won, I sent a money order to the seller. A ...
