Dragoncon photoshoots & Schedule

I tried not to sign up for too many photoshoots this year. I get tired of running around "I have to be at the photoshoot at 10 hurry up!! because then I have to change and be at photoshoot at 11!!" you know? But here's where I'll specifically be: Friday: Ladies of Gotham (in Black Canary) - 6pm Saturday: Parade (in Ms Marvel) - 10am Marvel Photoshoot (in Magik) - 4:30pm Sunday: ...

steady workin… Supergirl and Black Widow

Last night's movie of choice: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. Project: Bodice for Surprise costume #2. I got the two sides put together and figured out, started getting the boning cut. Will at least get it to grommet stage tomorrow. I'm excited about it so far, my idea for it worked out fine, hopefully things will continue to go swimmingly. Also - Chase case the back of my legs and ...

a note

When I was taking that pic of the Donna Troy suit last night - I wanted to take it just straight on the front... but everytime I tried I realised, "this is nothing but a picture of my boobs." So we ended up with the slightly to the side. It's still pretty much a pic of my boobs, though, just not as bad. LOL.

Donna Troy Progress Pic

Yesterday I had a wonderful surprise - my MST3K dvd set I preordered last month came a day earlier than I expected! It has Jack Frost on it, which is one of my favs and I lost my copy a while back. So I popped it in and got a lot of work done last night. My Donna Troy fabric came Monday, so since that was a quick project ...

heart attack

or, "Hard Attack" as my cousin once wrote. Woke up this morning and found an email from the Atlanta Marriott Marquis confirming our reservations for Dragoncon - again. I didnt't know why, I already had a confirmation email from them. I clicked on it and quickly realised the difference - it was confirming Thursday-Monday instead of Thursday-Tuesday. I dug up my other email and it was the same confirmation number ...

costume catch up

So I posted my Dragoncon list the other day but didn't really go over it. I thought I'd post it again and update each. 1. Lady Gaga I've got the top basically made. I've got the organza cut to cover it, but haven't put it on yet - I'm worried I might run out since I'm using the same organza on costume #3, and if I do I don't want to end ...

Dcon 2010 Costume Schedule

I changed up my list a little bit... here's the updated list... You know I know a lot of people have mixed feelings on when people do "secret" costumes. Some people don't like it, some do, etc. I think some people view it as a a "na na I don't want anyone copying me" thing. Which for me, it's not. I have different reasons for keeping some costumes secret. For ...

Gaga corset, and Padme art

I got a virus about a month ago, I successfully removed it that night and all was good. Well not really. Ever since then I haven't been able to upload pics - but only it certain places. I can't upload using flickr's main uploadr, which I've never had an issue with before - I have to use the basic uploader where you can only do 6 at a time. I can't ...

I only have one more episode 1 outfit to go :) So I've changed up my Dragoncon costume plans a bit. I need to update the in-progress page because of it. I've dropped two costumes and added one definite, one maybe. The two I dropped are Ame-Comi Black Canary and Batgirl. Batgirl I dropped because #1, the expense - if I drop it, it frees up a lot of money to spend on ...
