2010 wrap-up, 2011 plans
So at the end of 2009, this is what I said I wanted to accomplish this year: 1. Bespin Leia – still not a thing done 🙂 dang it. 2. Belle’s Ballgown – same. 🙂 dang it. 3. Batgirl – nope. dropped it due to $$. 4. Belle’s Christmas Dress – nope. just never got to it. 5. Ame-Comi Black…

the Supergirl wig curse
I feel like I was cursed when it came to wigs this summer – and I couldn’t really talk about it since I was keeping Supergirl under wraps. I searched for a long time for the 2 wigs I needed for Gaga and the wig for Supergirl. The yellow wig was weirdly enough the easiest. I found a blonde wig…

Dcon 2010 costume wrap up
I had a lot of fun at all the photoshoots this year, they were awesome, well organized and fun. However next year I’m not committing myself to ANY photoshoots. I spent all day sunday between the Teen Titans and DC shoots. From 9AM when I got up to when I left DC a little after 4PM. Saturday was the parade/SOSI…

almost there…
Last night, I dreamt about arriving at dragoncon. It was basically just us moving the van and parking the van and trying to figure out if we could check into the hotel or not. That totally stems from us not having any kind of plan for tomorrow. Them moving pre-reg pick-up up to 10 really threw us off. We’ll probably…

Tomorrow’s To-Do list
Tomorrow I’m going to get up and start knocking it out of the park. I’ve got one big thing left to do – finish my Gaga hoops – and everything else is rather small. Lady Gaga: sew one more weft into the wig, curl it sew snaps on bodice to hold hoops in place finish applying sequins to bodysuit apply…

Starfire & Gaga updates
So last night I finished installing the bra in the front of Starfire. I’m really nervous about wearing it. I’m going to be taped to high-heaven, but it’s been a long time I’ve worn something like this and I’m worried. I went ahead and sewed the boots back onto the bodysuit, too – I just need to fix the brooch…

Running errands, costume updates
Spent this morning running last minute errands. Let me see… CVS for eyelashes and bobbie pins, and looking for lipstick for Gaga. It’s an unusual colour and couldn’t find anything. Chick-fil-a for breakfast! Target for snacks for the cooler. I got reese’s, pringles, cokes and starbucks double shots. it’s what I usually subsist on at dragoncon LOL Also again no…

Black Widow updates
…Because last night I finally finished the stupid Gaga bodysuit, and actually got a whole leg from the knee down sequinned. YEH! Attempts at a photo: So tonight is more sequinning, and I want to try to finish up Surprise #1, and also Starfire. I did end up trying a couple of things on yesterday – I had to put…

why am i writing a blog post
when i’m already 10 minutes late for work? just a quick overview of last night. Finished all the hand sewing on the gaga skirt – it’s finished. figured out my gaga wig. It’s nearly done, just a few more tweaks. Tonight is finishing the bodysuit and working on the Surprise #1 tiara, which once I get some decent shots of…

really bad Lady Gaga progress pics
I should have just had Chase take pics of me but didn’t think of it. Instead you get crappy self-pics in my leaning mirror.

to-do list 8/25/10
I feel much better about things at the moment. I was able to get the waistband and zipper onto the Gaga skirt last night with no issues, and it went onto the cage just fine and I started stitching it in place. I tried it on with the corset and it looks fine (though not so happy with the shape…

Lady Gaga Updates… or something
So my Lady Gaga is not going to be that good. My shoes and bodysuit are going to be rushed and not right – my wig’s not going to be right – and I don’t have enough hoops for the outside. My skirt’s not great, the seams didn’t match up even though I freaking did them all together and pinned…

Alyss ruffles
Last night was spent sewing on ruffles, and then finishing the edges of what’s left to hand sew onto the bodice tonight. And also on wigs. I hate my wig for Surprise #2. I tried to make it work last night – added some wefts, straightened it (though it didnt like that much) and just tried to make it NOT…

Supergirl progress pics
I seriously don’t understand why people think it’s fine to repost people’s photos without permission. I’m generally ok with it, but when it’s a personal photo and nobody asked – it’s not cool with me. I’m tired of having to turn my personal photos “friends only” just because people don’t have the common sense to ask. Anyway. Yesterday I finally…

Various Updates and whatnots
I’ve been playing “Godfinger” on my phone for the past couple of days. Silly little game, but fun. Anyway – after work today I came home and cleaned the house so we wouldn’t have to do it later, then we Chase got home we ran errands. Another fabric store trip (more chiffon and a zipper), the beauty store (blonde wefts…

progress… Alyss and Gaga
last night’s viewing: more mst3k – since chase had my computer, couldn’t watch netflix. Mostly did stuff on Surprise #2 – was working on the embellishment on the front. I’m not 100% happy with it but I don’t want to tear it off and re-do it in something else, so I’m just going to have to figure it out. Bought…

state of affairs: Dcon2010 costumes
A little update on, well, everything. Lady Gaga: Haven’t touched it, needing more fabric. I did get my shoes. I need to order fabric for the bodysuit, and also my wigs. This one still has the most work left on it. I’d say it’s at 20% Black Widow: Got my wig, wristbands are nearly done, need to put my belt…

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…
