'm swimming in wigs!!!! AHH!! I got my Lina wig. I'm in love with this wig, it's so beautiful!! I put it on and took some Asuka pics this afternoon. It's definitely the nicest wig I've ever owned. Also got Urd wig #2. Or 3, however you're counting. We'll go with 1 and 2 for now. Urd wig #1 is shorter, but whiter. Urd wig #2 is longer, slightly more silver, but much, much better quality ...
I dyed my Lina gloves!!! They turned out good, I'm so happy XD It's so easy! Now I'm ready for Ash's Yuna sleeves! Dad and I went and got chicken wire and wallpaper paste and a bucket for making paper mache paste. I'm worried about doing this, I've got so little experience. Today got my Urd pattern cut out and sewed most of it. Still got to put a zipper ...
Mom and I went downtown today to go to Hot Topic. It was the only place I could think of in Memphis that might have red vinyl pants (for my lina costume). An hour's drive, a whole lot of traffic and two dollar parking for a "might have." We got there and I didn't see any. Dude working there came over and asked what we were looking for. I told ...
I just bought my Lina wig. whew. It's now the most expensive wig I own. I wanted something that would look more natural than just a regular straight style wig. I bought it from the same people I got my She-Ra wig from. It's layered and really nice looking. It's a little darker than I really wanted, but... it's just so pretty! I'm trying to shoot for more realistic colours ...
Went to the fabric store today!! I got black fabric for Lina's cape, and purple to line it with. Also got off-white fabric for the white bits of her costume. Got a *perfect* pattern for Urd. It's great. And black fabric, sort of suede like for the black pieces of her costume. And yellow ribbon for the yellow bits. I looked at the fur prints there and didn't see any ...
And now cool boots! Brown Boots, which I thought could be good for any number of things, namely Lina and Eowyn (speaking of which, I've decided to hold off on Eowyn until the LOTR opening in Dec. If Cath is coming to Dragon*con, we want to do Urd, Skuld and Belldandy together. Which means a day of wearing Urd again.) Blue Boots, for Shadowcat. I love these boots, they're ...
I got a bunch of stuff lately! Got a Misato necklace off ebay. It'll look much better than if I try to make it. I love it already (there's a pic in my livejournal of me wearing it w/my misato wig) Got a grey pleated skirt for Hermione. took a few pics today - they weren't very good, I needed to crimp up my hair a little for it ...
Hmm... I'm gonna go out into the woods and take some new pictures of my elf costume this afternoon. Ash and I talked for a long time about our costumes at the basketball game saturday night. I can't find the stupid piece of paper where I wrote it all down, but Ash is looking at Meryl, pink outfit Ling Xiaoyu, and Ritsuko from Eva. She's still thinking about Rikku... I'm ...
All right, pardon me but I gotta spill a little cosplay talk into Whisky. Not because I want to annoy you, no, it's because I need your opinion! The costumes I'm planning for next year... er, THIS year are: Rally Vincent (mostly done, will be won when bored at AZ), Misato's NERV uniform (for MidSouthCon in march) She-Ra (MidSouthcon in march) Lulu (Animazement in May) Faye Valentine (Animazement) Xianhua (Animazement) ...
Well, until I finish my report (can't now, mom's on the computer I started writing it on), I'll just say a few things. I hate the Claritin (Clarion). MTAC staff & everybody at the con were friendly, nice and made the whole thing worth it. They rock. I still can't believe I won a prize in the cosplay! What did I win? A RED WIG!!! *ear-piercing squeal* I have been ...
