So, Ash and I did the masquerade again that year, and it was again over at the Congress Center or whatever it was called. So we got dressed, loaded up and went on over. We ended up sitting around in a hall backstage for quite a long time. There we are in the background entertaining ourselves: We got there so early that hardly anyone else was there yet. We were ...
Dragoncon 2004 parade - we decided to walk with the LOTR group! This worked out since I had Arwen I wanted to wear, the mums had their hobbit costumes, and Ash got talked into wearing a cape and accompanying me to handle my train. My Arwen costume was very long and very white, so to keep it from getting destroyed by walking on the pavement, I made a drop skirt out ...
Pictures! From Al :) my hair totally fell. Oh well Anna... yeah, not much new there. There was a really good one in the masq - I wish I'd gotten a chance to talk to her! Her costume looked awesome. Ash, her mom, my mom and me :) Padme's battle suit... Arwen and Figwit... she's not really Figwit, but whatever My rebel legion tattoo - Dude, that thing still wouldn't come off ...
why it's me and Craig Parker! (Haldir in FOTR and TT) He was very nice :) Anyway, my point of this entry was the fact that I have my dragoncon pictures up. Right here . And thus ends my con season. Nothing until march next year. Now I can clean my room!
we're home from dragoncon. I'll post more tomorrow - or wednesday. next couple of days will be tough, not only getting over con tiredness, but some other stuff that's going on. But yeah, made it out of ATL before any bit of Frances did (never rained on us at all - did it ever rain today there? It was acting like it would any minute) Drag On Con celeb encounters: ...
Ash the Enchanter greets you from Dragoncon. More pictures of interest- Everything is here! Time to go eat dinner and hit the dealer's room again.
Lessa - done, except the shoulder braid, which I will either do tonight or on the plane tomorrow. Won't take but about another 10 minutes to do. I wore it on a test-run last week - it's almost unbearably hot, but I like how it looks. We'll see at dragoncon. Hermione - done. will need to be pressed again when we get there (skirt, robes and white shirt... too much stuff ...
Man the last few days have been hectic beyond belief! I've finished Ozma, Lessa and Hermione. I've made 2 sets of hobbit feet and painted two sets of hobbit ears and put in countless grommets (but that's ok because I love putting in grommets!) Padme and Ash's masquerade costume are the only things left. For Padme, the headpiece is nearly done, I've just got about an hour or so's work left ...
I just bought myself my birthday present from my parents. Sims 2, ha, ha yay and stuff. Oh god I leave for Dragoncon on thursday... shoot me now!!
I forgot to mention this is my costume journal! On saturday, dad was helping us with some costume stuff in the kitchen when all of a sudden he gave a shout and pulled his t-shirt off! He said something was biting him. I looked over and saw the culprit still hanging onto his shirt. It had bitten/stung him in 3 places - he said it wasn't a wasp but it ...
