I was thinking about the injuries and other odd things I've received while costuming, thought I would chronicle them! 1. Sperrets! I've had three costumes that have given me odd sperrets - the first was Yuffie. Wearing fishnets on one arm/hand and one leg led to some odd designs on my skin afterwards, mostly on my arm. My whole right arm, from my hand up to nearly my shoulder, had ...
Well, I was without internet access all weekend, so you'd think I would have gotten some more work done, but alas, that was not the case. Anyway, the point of this entry was this: I'm sitting here working with some sculpey at the moment, and it made me remember this incident a few years ago. It was back in early 2002, when Ash and I were working on her Yuna costume. ...
Well I haven't updated in a while, i've been busy constantly... it's one thing after another lately! While I was going through the marathon of finishing the play poster for the school last week, I, in a fit of madness, bought a mannequin on ebay. I thought it would be nice to have one to store particular costumes on, like i could put parade Amidala on it right now, so ...
Oh and um, ew. Apparently this dude my mom knows through the theater saw me on TV in my Padme costume back when ROTS came out, and I guess he heard that that was my mum at the theater or something. Well apparently he had asked her to introduce us, and she knew he wasn't my type, so she didn't say anything to me. Today she told me the whole ...
So today I wore my Hermione costume without the robe to work. Cause it is Halloween and all, yknow. Well, I didn't curl my hair. Or, I did curl my hair this morning, but it completely fell and doesn't look like I did anything to it. So I said I wasn't Hermione, I'm Lily. Kevin asked me who I was dressed as, and I told him Lily. He said I ...
Last year I was bombarded with requests about how I made my Anna Valerious costume - understandable, since the movie was still pretty new, but I was still flabbergasted by HOW MANY times I was asked, to the point I just ended up saving a form letter on my computer with the info, and then I'd just copy and paste. I'm STILL getting them this year!! It's so weird... I ...
I really hate the word "Cossies" in place of costumes. It annoys me. I overlook it when people use it when talking to me, but everytime I run across it online it makes me want to shoot myself. Or someone else. (2016 EDIT: It's 2016 and I still hate this word. Thankfully it seems to have died off.)
I found my embroidery sample, finally. Kes had gotten it, I think - it was under the ottoman. Today was fairly nice. I saw my grandparent's new house, it was very cute! I really like it. I'm glad they've moved. I finally got my boxes back (they've been at my aunt's house since they came back from FedEx) - I'm dreaded unpacking them. I just threw everything in the boxes ...
OOOOOOOOH! Now I remember what I was going to say! So this afternoon, I was working hard on stuff. I had been cutting and shaving foam rubber for a long time, and it was everywhere, and I felt yucky. So I went to take a shower. So I get in the shower, turn it on, and notice someTHINGS floating in the water. I instantly got all freaked out, because I ...
