It is freaking hot. Our air conditioner has been out since thursday. The highs have been around, oh, 97, and that doesn't include the heat index, which I don't even want to think about. At first it was ok... and it was nice at night... but now it's just UGH. I got up this morning and I'm just sticky all over. It's made working on anything really hard. Especially costumes. I ...

So last year - probably nearly or even more than a year ago - I got this skirt and I wanted to dye it blue. I don't even remember what it was for. I may have just been messing around. Who knows. Well, I tried it in the sink, but the fabric didn't take to the dye very well. So I pulled out the big plastic tub we use for ...

Random updates: I bought all my material for Ozma Monday. $95 worth, blegh ;;; Started fooling with my Phoenix wig. I hope to have them both done by Akon. I'd like to finish Ozma in the next week or two, before it gets too hot, and take it out to the Dixon for photos. anyway-
I know I want to get contacts for my Phoenix costume. Thing is, I can't decide which I want. The character generally has just white eyes, but I wanted something cooler, something related to fire. My price range is $250-$300. I'd like to get something I could use again, also (since I'm spending so much!) Look here Which one do you like better? Demon - it's cheaper and neat looking. ...
Is it wrong, oh so wrong, that I want to go as Marty McFly from Back to the Future? There are a couple of anime based costumes I want to do sometime next year. Belldandy's battle outfit - possibly an alternate colour Princess Jupiter Paine (don't know which Paine yet) Mikako (Paradise Kiss, Miwako's older sister) I think there was one more but I can't remember it. Maybe another Urd ...
