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 it on the dressform I'll say for sure what it is.
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.
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 of the corset, might remake it one day if I ...
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 them all at the same time on top of each ...

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 look like a cheap $15 costume party 1950s-style wig (which it wasn't, ...
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 finished the edges of all my chiffon, so that's done. ...
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 that I think will work well for the Gaga wig), ...
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 more stuff for Gaga today - namely, my wigs. Saturday I ...
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 together. I'd say it's at 75% Surprise #1: Been making ruffles. Need to ...
