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 Canary - nope. replaced it with a different Ame-Comi. 6. Magik from New Mutants - yes! 7. Marie Antoinette - nope. ...
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 I thought was perfect for Gaga, right part, right shade, right ...
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 shoot/Marvel, so that was from 8AM to after 5. ...
I've finished my Lady Gaga costume and have added it to my portfolio!
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 be getting in around noon - but were fairly certain we ...

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 finish to hoops (I finished the bottoms tonight. i have ...
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 (a bunch of the beads fell out, chase painted some ...
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 go on the lipstick. Walgreen's to look for lipstick, but ...
...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 on Black Canary to measure the length the new straps needed ...
